The recipe for disaster goes like this:
- tighten your border: unleash hard-assed ICE bullies; stop approving renewals on existing visas, then deport those with expired docs
- drain their brains - exceptionally allow privileged immigration of engineers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, etc, those who are most needed to develop their homeland are poached from their homeland
- cut off aid to foreign countries
- impose tariffs, but then do deals with other developed countries. Make the deals better for other MAGA (immigration-hostile) nations and lousy for charitable socially responsible immigration friendly countries like Spain
- promote fossil fuels and penalize green energy suppliers - push climate denal as climate change impacts developing countries the hardest (the same countries with minimal contribution to the problem)
Did I miss anything?
Shouldn’t this collectively be regarded as an attack on developing countries? Just as corporations and billionaires are extractionist, whole MAGA-like countries also behave as large-scale extractionists.
These issues are always presented separately in the press. But it seems like the press could do more justice by putting them together. E.g. whenever a journalist reports an anti-immigration move, they should also bring up the brain drain and aid cuts at the same time. It should be presented together as an assault on developing countries.
How should we name this practice? Maybe woke spelled backwards?
