Premises | Immigrants/refugees were useful in any country (USA, Australia, Greece). |
The labor supply rose when we had immigrant/refugee inflows. | |
Conclusion | Immigrants/refugees will also be useful in Greece today as work opportunities will increase. |
Premises | In the USA, all were registered and entered the country, both the prosecuted [meaning those requesting asylum] and the immigrants. |
They were not thrown into the sea; they did not prosecute the immigrants. | |
They were integrated into American society. | |
Conclusions |
Therefore: • In Greece, all immigrants/refugees should be registered and assimilated. • The practice of expulsion and exclusion of those who do not fulfill the “institutionally defined” characteristics of the refugee is unacceptable. |
Premises | The USA was a country with vast lands. |
The USA was a country which needed immigrants. | |
The USA was a multicultural and multiethnic country built by immigrants. | |
Conclusions | Therefore, since Greece is a small and monocultural country, it does not need immigrants. |
Premises | Immigrants who would go to the USA knew that they would be registered and identified by the American authorities. |
American authorities knew who entered the country and who did not. | |
Conclusions |
Therefore: • Today, in Greece, immigrants/refugees should know that they will be checked and identified by the Greek authorities. • Greek authorities should know who enters the country and who does not. |
