A different approach to anti-immigration

[matrixmann]

Why do all problems with lack of skilled workers have to be solved by “stimulating immigration”, with “attracting foreigners to come and fill in the gaps”?
Don’t other countries need their skilled workers and their people across-the-board too?

What’s with all the domestic kids who leave school with a half-baked education level that are hardly good for anything more than consumption and playing with their smartphones?
Couldn’t they be the desired “skilled workers” too, if you just invested in them and reestablished a certain quality in your local public education system?
What have they been born for if everything is just about “we need immigration, we need foreigners - ‘cause we got a lack of skilled workers”?
Is that supposed to be the “glorious future” that you promised to their parents?
Are those the arguments you decoyed them with to make these kids because “we need more children that someday finance your pension”?

What was all that for if, in the end, these kids are destined to live in ruins and suffer from their lack of non-education, immaturity and stupidity, altogether with their surroundings?

Their policies are always what is immediately economically sound in terms of profit. Never think of future or consequences otherwise we wouldn't be sitting on the brink of extinction of the 2/3 of wildlife in the world. The same can be applied to this too.

Indeed, indeed. That's like a short-sighted "solution" - you get the personnel that you want and that relatively quickly.

In other words that means: They don't want to wait and they don't want to make big investments - nobody knows if you'll succeed with your training and education program in 15 to 20 years, even will nobody know if you gonna need the personnel then still.

Although... to a certain base extent, you'll need all these skilled workers. So actually there's reason to invest in the general education and the training of your next generation to enter work like.
Especially such occupations like teachers and educational personnell - they only run away to certain spots in your country which they think pay better and make a better space to live in, but only very few of them leave the country, like it happens in other branches of the "free market" (and where these also just move abroad because they see they have no future in Germany, that innovation desert of Europe...).

Ah, well... let's put it into that drawer: "Even too stingy to invest in one's own base to make profit."
