  1. Migration isn't a bad thing, if done properly, but the problem in the EU is that we've got open boarders among EU countries whiles having each individual country doing their own migration policy. It's easy to see how that can be a problem with immigration that ends up creating hot spots in some EU countries and regions, especially in southern EU countries, and the only real solution I see around that is either we have boarders among EU countries, which likely wouldn't be popular among Europeans, or we need to have stronger powers at an EU level when it comes to immigration and boarder controls, whiles also having stronger policies in areas of integration and distribution of migrants around EU regions, so it's more manageable on the economy. With that said, helping the developing countries to develop would be a better solution, but realistically, that's a long term goal, and in the short term, there are many people in developing countries that need our help and to a less degree, modern countries need imagination if we want to support the overall population size and especially when it comes to the burden on the young supporting the older generation in the coming decades, in other words, if we don't fill that void, taxes will likely go up to support the ageing population or public service could take some major cuts. There are a few unknowns on the last part, A.I. and robotics, over the coming decades, the two are likely going to have a massive impact on productivity and could push a lot of us out of work, it could also solve the problem of an ageing population that actually having too much of a young population that the system needs to put to work could end up being a burden in its self if the system can't put them to work, and there's a fair chance that as A.I. and robotics gets better, it could put most of us out of work, whiles making it difficult to create new jobs because any new jobs created, chances are, A.I. and robotics will be able to do them a lot cheaper, faster and better than we can do them, the capitalist nature of the system will always push out the more expensive option, basically, us humans, and that is likely only going to get worse as we keep demanding higher wages and better conditions whiles A.I. and robotics keeps getting better and cheaper. Regardless of what happens in the future, for the here and now, almost all modern countries need immigration to balance the books, but we do need a much better way of distributing the immigrants across the regions and integrating them far more.
