the burden should always be on the ones who are stronger to accommodate those who are weaker.

the majority needs to welcome and support the minority.

and it's not that there is no burden on the immigrants. they still have to learn to understand the local language, culture, rule of law, etc...

we should learn from each other and take the good from each. the burden for that is on both sides.

I appreciate the candid response. It shouldn't be so hard for people to just clearly state the premises that motivate their beliefs.

>the burden should always be on the ones who are stronger to accommodate those who are weaker.

Is this a universal principle? Does this come with any limits at all? A salient example that comes up often: classrooms tend to have a small handful of extremely disruptive students that ruin the experience for everyone else. The current thinking is to not suspend/expel these kids because they are disadvantaged or whatever. But in doing so the other kids suffer greatly, not to mention the teachers.

How do you manage different dimensions of strength/advantage? It is the weakest in society (women, children) that bear a disproportionate burden of allowing large amounts of immigration from third-world countries. Why are the rights of women and children secondary to the rights of immigrants?

Always? Never?

There are > 190 countries in the world and many of them require immigrants to meet at least the same criteria for employment and assistance as born citizens.

Why do people pretend they don't understand context? What do you get out of posting this irrelevant pedantic response?
