You're being bullied for believing that we shouldn't accept other cultures and we should accept other cultures instead. You immigrate in my country? You're learning my language, my culture. Not vica versa.

I didn't get in your country, you did. It's not your action that lead you to that point.

I mean, think of it like somebody gets in your family's home, and suddenly you have to adjust to their standards, not vica versa. Isn't that weird?

Why do we not do the same for countries? Because ""we're empathetic""? No we're not empathetic, our governments just want cheap, illegal labor. Which means, stealing the cheap labor from legal people who already have it in need. Or our children who turned to an age that they can work and can learn basic principles of working.

Look at France right now. Look at Greece, where ~70% of the crimes are committed by non-Greeks. Obviously, coz these people came from a country that either threw them away or from a radical country that they learned to behave like that from there.

The statistics that I made for that are here Statistics - Google sheets

But apparently if you say that, you're racist. No, I dont care about those people. I'm not afraid of those people. I would happily be friends with any of these people. But they're from a different culture, different country, and there can't be no demand to appropriate to THEIR culture. They get in your country, they should appropriate to YOUR culture, not vica versa.

As a Brazilian, you are forgetting that the reason why "3rd world countries" immigrate to "1st world countries" is because the latter exploited the former as colonies to the max: Brazil, India, Morocco, Senegal, Mexico, list goes on.

1st world countries only could deliver this level of wellbeing to their citizens because some countries were being exploited at the bottom.

When 3rd world citizens watch videos of people of their own country working for Ifood/Uber on the US and making 5x as much due to how shitty their national economy is, the decision to immigrate is obvious. It's really ironic if you think about it that 1st world countries have to pay out of their own pockets to rescue, give food, shelter and pay basic health care for descendants of people their own ancestors exploited
