Comment on The EU targets Guinea for visa punishment: a sign of what is to come

I’d like to share an old proverb that often attributed to Erasmus, but likely much older than that:
"The whole world is my homeland"
That is true for me, because with my passport i can access perhaps 99% of the globe. If you are not from a first world country, you cannot. Even if you work hard and provide for your family and add value to your community, western governments will tell you to fuck off and go to the shithole you came from. We should punish bad behaviour like stealing, scamming, raping, destroying etc. Wanting to survive and wanting your children to grow up somewhere safe is normal, going somewhere you’re not welcome to achieve that should not be punishable.
Anyone here saying we should eat the rich, but also saying we should not allow people to migrate should take a look in the mirror.
