Migration is inevitable. Progress drives migration. | Shirin Karsan | TEDxPhiladelphiaSalon

Migration is inevitable. It has been happening for centuries. Whether by choice or by necessity, it will continue with every generation. We are intellectual beings. We strive to progress. Progress is a driver for migration. Stop progress, and migration will stop.

Wow Shireen, I am touched by your presentation! Even though I knew the context, you revived a lot in my mind! Being away for 18 months from parents at that age is amazing. Your story is very emotional. May you and your family be blessed.

there is a difference between the migration educated/qualified people who come to work and contribute to the society, and the migration of random barely literate people who later join criminal gangs or demand khalifate in their host countries. or just cant leanr the local language and dont work for years, for their type of behaviour, values that are sometimes incompatible with the local culture and rules. it's not about migration as such being bad, it's about the necessity to make migration more selective. it's important to set the rule what you want and what you need for your country, culture and society, set boundaries what is accepted and what isn't. Also migrants should integrate. thats why standards matter.
