Sorry but you are one of the first who have moral duty to help them. If you are one of those immigrants (or second generation) that do nothing but shame your hosts to help more immigrants to come in, then YOU are one of the reasons why immigrants are not welcome anymore.

Oh right. I'll go in my corner of shame now. You know, the one where I'm somehow responsible for all the world's evils and you aren't, because finger pointers are of course exempted. Mainly because the other shameful life-livers would get tired of them.

Like I said, where you are born is an accident of birth. You want to make me responsible not only for where I was born, but where my parents were born. You of course, being of noble birth, have nothing to be thankful for and nothing to contribute.

You started the shaming and the finger pointing. It's easy to rhetorically ask "why don't WE do this and that" when you actually mean "why don't YOU do this and that". Don't sell me cheap philosophies with accidents of birth and twisted arguments but show me how many immigrants you are going to house this year. Charity and shaming is not only for the white skinned locals.

My family have adopted a refugee girl. We volunteer to translate for people arriving from our country. We hire immigrants to work in our business, we teach them the language, and we let their kids stay at our house when they need it. All of these things are documented, apart from the free childcare.

Your turn.

Great. I'm an immigrant currently living in France but looking for a job in UK. How can I contact you for more details ?

> Your turn.

Please stop racheting up the nastiness in this thread.

You should be ashamed. Accident of birth is a crazy idea. Everyone born in Africa is just an accident? Should they all be transplanted to the EU or USA? EU is already getting close to collapse with USA not far behind. Maybe as the last lights of the west blink out forever, you will understand your ignorance.
