THE STORY WAS UPDATED
There is a strange logic that is counterproductive, like shooting oneself in the leg. Finland has a labor shortage that is going to get worse. According to some sources, Finland will need up to 50,000 migrants a year to plug the deficit.
I wonder why these types of estimates haven’t been published recently. I it because the government is doing everything possible to restrict labor migration, especially from outside the EU?
Since the government wants to tarnish Finland’s human rights record with a pushback law, I have an easier and less painful way to move forward: Instead of restricting these people from coming to Finland, welcome them with open arms.
With the present anti-immigration policy, Finland is showing its worst. We are no longer a beacon of hope to others who are less fortunate, but a beacon of greed.
