  • Sorry this happened to you. I was in a similar position twice. First time my wife was pregnant and we needed to move to a different country with good health care within 6 months. Second time, country moved to for the birth of said child, the job was a total nightmare. I made it 18 months but was ready to fly home at my own expense and start over. But something always turns up so don’t give up. Set yourself a timeframe. Target companies. Meet for coffees and chats. You got this, man :)











  • Personally, if someone is stealing to feed themselves or feed their kids, I got no problem with that. And if say, someone is fleeing death or persecution, and hoping for safe refuge in another country, I got no problem with that either. Ideally I’d expect my government to create the conditions where these actions weren’t necessary for survival. This probably makes me a do-gooder. Or empathetic.







  • Limited supply of health care? Guess you judge which person needs the treatment most and judge it based on condition not passport. Also, there was a good supply of vaccines at this point. Final point, back then, there was a need to vaccinate all or it wouldn’t work as intended. You ignore sections of society - yes, even criminals - and you won’t achieve your pandemic goals.

    I’m not sure we’re comparing like for like on drug dealers and migrants brought in legally to work on construction sites, and when nobody is allowed outside during COVID, they have no work and no income, and they’re then rounded up when their visa runs out and are penniless. OR, desperate illegal migrants fleeing genocide in neighbouring countries, who were given safehaven pre-pandemic, but then pursued during.
