Thanks for your reply.
I agree that it is not an easy issue.
There are all sorts of considerations. Like who is in real need and who comes just for reasons of greed.
That´s why I found the distinction between the real poor and drug dealers good.
Why have heaps of swanky Russians in Berlin, many are maybe freeloaders and criminals, but........I can´t say......can´t judge
And how do vast numbers of Moslems, who come to "better themselves" affect the local culture? Do they erode the Faith? Consumerism does that far better!
But I find the whole basis of this society totally false anyway.
Sometimes it is not good to have too much anyway, but to live as simply as possible
I don´t think that the collapse of the church in such places as Ireland JUST has to do with the collapse of Catholic authority and the scandals (which are blamed for the decline ) I also think it has a lot to do with a flood of EEC money and what they call "a rise in the standard of living"
There is really plenty of money but it is not equitably distributed and has become a pagan GOD. And people are made dependent on state handouts and not given the opportunity to do meaningful work for themselves. Just to buy a load of unneccessary trash and do "soul-destroying" jobs.
