14 July 2019 - immigration right-of-way 1
< yesterday --

One of the rules of driving on a narrow mountain road is that
the vehicle coming down the mountain has right of way over the
vehicle going up. You may hear different excuses for this rule,
but its real reason is, of course, that the mountain is only so
big. If cars going up had priority, the mountain might become
full and nobody would go anywhere. Countries apply the same rule
to their citizens; strength depends on population, the lower the
better. A democracy freely allows its people to leave, but each
potential immigrant needs permission.
