Most people in third-world countries are deprived of many basic necessities by their governments, which leads them (us) to seek better lives and greener pastures elsewhere. Immigrant tendencies have existed for decades, and most people have successfully fled the tyranny of corrupt governments to live better lives in other countries.
However, the percentage of people who have succeeded is lower than that of those who have failed, which can be discouraging. There are people who have migrated to first or second world countries in the hopes of making it big; however, they face discrimination, racism, and segregation.
I saw a thread on Twitter where people talked about their experiences and the jobs they did, and while the stories were funny, they were truly sad.
Third-world countries are among the most depressing places. These places have never seen revolutions; they are ruled by generations of kleptomaniacs, as we see in the majority of these countries, and this causes people to flee, seeking refuge elsewhere.
I saw on the Internet that over 400k Nigerians applied for visas to the UK this year, which is a staggering statistic. I understand that the UK is now a multiracial country, similar to the US, but it is only a matter of time before the UK begins to make its borders unfavorable or hostile to people trying to enter.
Most of these people apply for student visas, and because it provides good business opportunities for the UK, their visas are usually approved.
Do not get me wrong, a lot of people are living pleasant lives and reaping the benefits in some of the countries; they are the ones who have been favored, but the ones who have not been favored are more, and it is truly sad that most people are made inadequate as a result of the passports they hold.
Many citizens of third-world countries face discrimination in these second- or first-world countries. While this is disheartening, most third-world countries are suffering as a result of their government's decades and centuries of corruption.
Of course, I understand that even good countries face hardship, but it is on a different scale for developing countries.
South Africa
Consider South Africa, which is arguably the most developed African country; however, if they had not undergone complete adoption and colonial conquest, as well as having a more responsible government, they could have ended up like Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Sudan, and Somalia.
They say the one-eyed person is the king of the blind man's land. It is no surprise that South Africa has become a haven for many other African countries, but it has also become xenophobic, killing immigrants and all.
The country is mostly favourable to white immigrants because they believe they contribute to development rather than being freeloaders.
If the world were equally good, the phenomenon of immigration would not exist, with people fleeing their countries as victims of war crimes and so on. I have a medical condition that limits me in many aspects of life, and people are not receiving adequate care; the government does not care, and even people who are stronger and fitter are struggling to thrive in a place like Nigeria.
Of course, I could ask some people I know here about my chances of moving to their countries with my immediate family, but that would be unimaginable.
People are not always as fortunate; some benefit from their predecessors' efforts, while others bear the consequences of their predecessors' actions.
Many others enjoy things they did not earn through hard work. It is an unfair world, and people who have enough to look after themselves always find it intrusive when others try to share from what they have.
