    Accepting 2 million refugees from Gaza (~2% of Egypt population) would surely crash Egypt economy and cause many unforseen social issues.

      Or it would skyrocket it.

      Places with high immigration are places that are doing well. Places with low immigration are places in decline.

        The extreme example would be the US. It received a huge amount of immigrant shortly often its funding and eventually prosper. The native got fucked though.

          Yes. And ultimately that’s what the racists are afraid of. But it’s not year 1500 anymore. The “natives” now have armies and weapons no one can challenge.

          It doesn’t change the matter : countries that flourish have a high immigration. It is both because they are flourishing and because they have the influx of people to do so.

          The irony is that success fuels success and decline fuels decline, yet people are fighting tooth and nails to keep declining because they fear the decline.

          Oh and I must provide this example : anciant Egypt culturally absorbed many invaders despite losing to them. The only changes were the name of the dynasty. This proves that sometimes even a hostile invader can integrate itself in your culture.

        Poland isn’t a desert. Poland has farmland. Most of Poland is actually habitable.

        Poland also have much higher GDP per capita, much lower poverty rate, and a member of EU which increase the economic opportunity for its citizens.

          Sure, a lot of Ukrainians travelled through Poland to other places though. Why can’t the countries in the region do it with the support of NGOs?
