So I guess a country’s happiness rating isn’t exactly proportional to its acceptance of immigrants.
Yes I get that, but you said that Denmark isn't a wonderland. It's basically as close to a wonderland as we've got.
Are you from Denmark?
I was born and raised in Africa, I migrated to a neighbouring country of Belgium ~4 years ago
How does it feel knowing that at any point now you will be returned to Africa? That fascism is inches away from even Denmark and Norway.
I am left leaning myself, and I hate that the far right is growing so much in Europe, but that will continue as long as we ignore what fuels the right.
Being deported at any point? That's simply not true. I contribute a lot to the economy, and so does many of my fellow migrants working here. (labour shortage)
If I stop being a positive contribution to their country, why shouldn't they send me back?
They don't owe me anything, I am here because it benefits me, if they didn't allow me in I'd look for another country that would, or I'd go back home.
I’m laughing hard.
I wish you the best though, I hope you’re white with blonde hair.
What's that supposed to mean?
