All I see is a society importing people to be a lower class. They are imported to do the dirty work. It's not glorious in any way. It is a good thing to share the wealth, but importing people to wash your tilets while bombing other countries and destroying global enviromental treaties (kyoto) isn't helping people. It's basing wealth on other's poverty. Just because people are let within the borders, doesen't seem to mean that they get any benefits.

I am in favour of less restrictions on immigration myself, the restraints have mainly been on the right-wingers account. I do believe we need to let people in, but not just to serve as the one getting all the shit jobs. If we are to let more people in, we need ot be able to include them in our welfare.

Besides, Norway got lucky, found oil and got ritch. That is nice, but it doesen't mean that we share a responsibility for every poor peron on the globe. The fact that we have achieved a high standard of living for a majority of our citizens, doesen't mean we need to import poverty here. There are only so many jobs to maintain in a frozen country mostly consisting of mountains.
