The sad news of the death of asylum seekers never ends unless countries agree on fundamentally different approaches. The most precious gift one can give to people who think they have no future is a sense of hope and purpose and an environment to achieve. Dignity is tight with achievements and purpose. No surprise the rate of severe depression among asylum seekers is very high.
Global schemes should not be based on right or left policies because at any time some countries are run by left and right governments and this stalls the schemes. It was discussed in the past that solutions should address root causes and countries should not pursue symptom-removal policies. Currently, some countries spend a lot of money on asylum seekers. This fund can be spent in a constructive way.
This is a plan: Global projects should be defined all around the world aiming to provide and construct the necessary infrastructure for locals to be connected to the interconnected modern world. Asylum seekers can apply for those jobs and when they earn sufficient points they can apply to live in the country of their choice based on their skills and points earned. In some countries physicians, for example, should serve in deprived areas for some years before being able to practice in large cities. So the idea is similar here. It provides an environment for people to build toward a better future, and achieve and gain skills to build their careers.
People make their decisions based on the cost/reward ratio. When the route for asylum seekers is so unclear, cost/reward evaluation makes no sense. This program provides a clear roadmap toward a better future. Also, as a safe route, it removes dangerous paths which currently endanger the lives of many asylum seekers.
This is the responsibility of rich countries to provide an environment for people in poor regions that lets them achieve their dreams and purposes. I read somewhere that if all people in the world would live like Americans nearly 5 earths would be required (nearly 2.5 earth for the UK and 3 for Germany). So this is not charity, this is responsibility. I don’t dream of expelling asylum seekers so I feel better, I dream of providing such an environment for them to thrive in a step-by-step progression.
UPDATE 1:
My posts are being deleted.
Asylum seekers in this scheme are real employees and benefit from privileges employees in other countries have.
UPDATE 2:
It is very good if the program includes student visas too (myself included). This is a type of training program and is good for everyone.
