    Greek employers cannot find the staff they need. Greek coastguard pushes migrants off boats into the sea.

      in my shithole country we have %30 unemployment and 6-day work week. Also it’s all slave wages regardless of your degree or experience. It’s a corrupt shithole system that enables itself to keep on staying shit by exploiting poor people and getting the rich richer.

        Um, you’re describing Greece plus or minus some unemployment percentage points.

          Because of European asylum rules. Those migrants have to be processed in their country of entry.

          Also, because they are racist fucks, who are paid to believe that Greece is being invaded.

          They can cause issues while transiting through and they are required to give a shit because they’re part of the EU’s outer border control. And they might have fears of some of the migrants staying. I could imagine someone being in the coastguard cares about securing the border too even if there were none of the above issues.

        I don’t know if it’s a good thing that all undesirable and underpaid jobs are taken or given to a class of people who are deemed cheap or undesirable

      This is a false dichotomy. Employers can’t find the staff they need at the wages they are willing to pay. Immigrants are the scapegoat, not the solution.

        For employers it can also be a solution, since you can pay them whatever and trust that they can’t go to the authorities about it or won’t join unions and so on

          That’s the point. Obviously having an ever expanding underclass that can be exploited with no risk is preferable to paying workers more.

      Flawed. What jobs are Greece lacking workers for? Can the said migrants fill those roles while simultaneously getting integrated into the societal norms and customs?

      If yes. Cool.

      If no. Not a solution.

      I don’t agree to the pushing people into the sea. But one problem is not the solution to a different one.

      Quota migrants are the way to go. Human trafficking is bad.

        Migrants don’t join unions. Which make them way cheaper. A very cool way for the owning class to exploit the workers and bypass any union/organized labour restriction.
