Would you move back to your home/country if it had the same quality of life as the US/European nations?
For economic migrants and asylum seekers who have been to the west for a half a decade or longer my question is simple. If your country were to suddenly reach a quality of life and income of the best western countries would you move back?
Personally, I came/migrated as a child; most of my friends are American so I’d love to stay given circumstances. I understand current trends are about remigration and how many communities/ethnicities can’t/wont assimilate.
However , given my experiences and growing up in a melting pot I struggle to believe that it’s entirely hopeless. The west with all its faults in its past 500 years managed to build a secular, innovative, and fairly just system after decades of war and internal conflicts. The culture is also completely unmatched, the sports culture alone is something that my country or region would never be able to replicate in a thousand years, that and other reasons are why I believe despite the sudden increase in wealth I don’t think I’d be able to leave America (unless obviously forced too).
Anyways long story short I would stay, however, I fully understand fears of long term natives and locals. I don’t support mass migration as it disturbs the order of many communities. However, I fully do support moderate migration with clear processes and rules. I’d love to know what other immigrants think.
