When your speech arouses applause you want to share it with others....
It is widely known that a man always perceives the world through the perspective of his own experience and through the evets happening around. That is an interesting fact that if we compare contemporary and long-standing images of immigrants, even when illegal, they will be totally different. When you hear the words “illegal immigrants”, what do you see? European streets flooded with vagabonds of unknown origin, innumerable news on shooting, blasts and raping? The things have turned so dramatic that we no longer consider Europe the best place to live in simply because we are concerned about our lives.
It goes without saying that a destructive war is not the only reason for illegal immigration but it is the reason which forces impoverished, destitute population of under-developed regions to flood the streets of well-off countries. Illegal immigration for the purpose of job seeking or some other particular cases is no longer such a devastating phenomenon as mass escape from a region involved in a war. People of this kind come to flourishing countries, and start acts of violence there, rob locals of their property, beg for money, or simply spoil the image of the place due to their beggarly appearance and way of life.
Now I would like to ask you, should illegal immigration be stopped or not?
But before answering, let us take a look at the war in Eastern Ukraine. The people living there are the same as we are. We are Slavic and speak the same language and the only thing which differentiates us and separates us is the boarder which by some historical occasion turned to be at the wrong place. I know quite many people who are staying in Russia illegally, whose migration cards have expired long ago, who would love to come back to their motherland but cannot do it because of the fear, the fear of being killed. If you meet such a person in the street you will not recognize him, it is a simple ordinary man who struggles a lot to live a life of an honest decent citizen and brings no harm to the society feeling grateful to it.
Now I would like to ask you, should illegal immigration be stopped or not?
I don’t know how to answer the question. If I only could, I would better stop the war!
