I think I agree with you kind of
But I think citizenship should still be possible to get after 10 years of cultural assimilation, learning the language, large financial tax and spending contributions, real work, absolutely zero crime (okay a speeding ticket is fine but not much else), like I'm a positive immigrant in Portugal and should get rewarded for that
More than that though I think welfare should ONLY be for citizens not for residents
It should be practically impossible to get free government money as a non-citizen, that includes unemployment, social housing, income support (free money), and even healthcare: healthcare can be insured privately for non-citizens fine with insurance companies, there's no reason the government should be paying for non-citizens
I remember during COVID, entrance to many countries as a tourist required getting private healthcare, I got that to enter Thailand in 2021
All these welfare programs when they started in the 1960s were meant for citizens, not residents
You'll see how unattractive Europe becomes for welfare seekers overnight when you do this
And you'll be left with people coming to Europe who actually want to contribute!
The GOOD immigrants!
@levelsio Coliving is actually quite good for dating because you live together for a month so you can get to know each other well.
That's how I found my partner :)

@johnrushx A great product without marketing is a secret, and great marketing without a product is a scam. Success happens when both work together - build something worth shouting about, then shout louder than anyone else.
