The images are frightening. We see caravans of migrants crossing Central America on their way to the United States. We see boats filled to the brim off the coast of Florida or in the Mediterranean. In border towns, we see hordes of young men on the streets, destitute, jumping the barriers of detention centres, living in squats, sometimes addicted to drugs.

European countries and the United States claim to be so overwhelmed that they delegate their borders to Mexico, Turkey and the countries of North Africa. They pay them to process asylum applications before the migrants have set foot in the destination country. The detention centres are inhumane and the migrants jump the barriers to get to their destination. The barrier is very easy to jump. Migrants enter countries illegally because it is inhumane to ask to enter legally. So, they do not stand up for their rights..

Faced with these terrifying images, we hear the Right telling us that these illegals must be punished more severely, and we hear the Left telling us that there are no problems with migrants. These migrants work for a tenth of the price and cannot assert their rights before a judge. The people most affected by migration are the rural and poor. The result of this situation of irregularity is to create an extremely cheap labour force that cannot compete with European or American labour who must respect proper social and environmental conditions. Western countries draw up lists of jobs in labor shortage that the inhabitants of these countries supposedly no longer want to do. Western governments give visas for these jobs, forcing the current inhabitants to accept poor working conditions. It’s shameful, given the GDP of these countries. It is legitimate to feel helpless when faced with these migrants. The fields and the restaurants in the United States and Europe are full of illegal workers and the fields and the restaurants are not controlled. Cleaning and public roads are also affected. There are no more …

It looks counterintuitive, I know. But...

...to be more productive and to have better ideas, work less and more relaxedly 😌

The Dutch model: the four-day working week with part-time work

In the Netherlands, the world kingdom of part-time, people work an average of 32 hours a week. The result? Very high productivity and top employment rate

9/10 "Teachers' working conditions are students' learning conditions," says ATA president Jason Schilling.
Despite government claims of record investment, those in classrooms daily see different reality. "They say they're listening, but their actions don't match."
