Under new rules, the EU border agency will be allowed to transfer migrants between third countries, expanding its operations beyond Europe and facilitating deportations from return hubs.

This planet cannot sustain 8billion+ people. Poverty and war cannot be fixed by moving everybody into Western countries. Unfortunately, fewer people are needed. The fascists have long recognized this, and they want to keep people on a racial basis. They are having their way because Liberal Democracies failed to keep people on a behavioral basis. It is wrong to discriminate by birth. It is also wrong to not discriminate by behavior.

It can already. It's not because it's not always profitable and we live in capitalism. There are countless studies to support this. Degrowth is kind of a cringe theory as well.

What are you talking about regarding behavior? Do you think frontex will do a test at the border?

Sustainability, decent QOL, high population. Pick two. I pick the first two. Studies usually pick the first and the last. Arguable what "decent" is, but definitely more than "you're not starving to death and you have some kind of roof above your head". Or they pick the last 2, and pretend that we can science our way into prosperity. Current agricultural methods are not long term sustainable, regardless if profit motivated or not. Before fertilizers, yields were much lower. But sustainable. But fertilizers and industrial agriculture screw up the soil long term. Also fertilizers need to be produced, often from non-renewing sources. Etc.

I have no comment on Frontex. They are probably a too late attempt to fix something that should have been fixed 50+ years ago.
