Immigration debate reframed around borders and global exploitation

Original: The immigrants are being considered outsiders because we divide our world into tribes and put borders in place. Often tr

A discussion about immigration is arguing that migrants are treated as outsiders only because the world is divided into tribes and bordered states. The argument holds that wealthy northern nations have long exploited southern ones, taking resources, influencing politics and destabilising societies, and that this history drives much of the migration now being met with hostility.

Why now: Immigration remains a hot political topic, and this argument challenges the usual framing by blaming colonial-style exploitation and borders rather than migrants themselves.
