Lately the Essex truck tragedy has been in the news, 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry trailer in Essex. I’m really sad for those young lifes.
During the years I live in Belgium, we hear the news sometimes that someone died trying to swim across the sea to England, etc. Every time I heard such news, I feel extremely sad.
This time these 39 are believed to be from Vietnam and some of them got a fake Chinese passport, (although I don’t get it why is it any different, Chinese passport or Vietnamese passport anyway, they all shitty probably). Those people were very likely have spent all their savings just in order to be in Britain?! In Brussels, we have this small mall full of cheap tiny nail salons right next to the Grand Place, where mostly Vietnamese work inside, very likely also the trafficked individuals.
Many people are unfortunately not as privileged as others to even travel freely, let alone to choose where to live. How unfair is that!
They are not as lucky, as privileged, but that shouldn’t make them illegal, just because they want to choose where to live. None of us should and nobody is illegal.
Probably also not everyone in the world has similar accessibility to the correct information about the world. Otherwise I would be surprised how come someone is willing to pay 30k pounds just to live in England or Europe, is life here really much better? I think maybe I’d rather live in Vietnam. But yea just because income here is higher, their family need the money maybe, I used to know quite a lot of people from different countries in the language class who spent all their life saving just to be able to be here.
Some may argue that they have to make the policy so strict, otherwise many will come here just for the social security. I’m no fan of the whole social security and tax system. I think we should pay whatever it costs, instead of paying for others or getting money from others for whatever BS reason. Social security system does basically no good but encourage indirectly such human trafficking business.
And if you are capable enough to make a living anywhere, you should be able to choose wherever to live. I know a friend from China here in Belgium, that probably also came via such boat or truck years ago. She probably works 10 times harder than me and speaks 10 times better Dutch than me. If they can survive wherever, why should we prevent them? What’s the point anyway.
just some rants, have a good week ahead
最近一则新闻震惊世界，一卡车越南人试图去英国，结果不幸死在路上。
在比利时这些年，经常听到有人试图游泳去英国结果溺死，有人试图攀爬卡车去英国结果摔死的新闻。我其实一直很不理解，英国那么好吗？
话说回来，我看到这些新闻都会觉得非常难过。在比利时我认识一些通过各种途径来比利时的人，他们从什么国家来的都有。有很多都像这些可怜的越南人一样，花光了所以积蓄。
在布鲁塞尔中心有一家购物中心，里面都是美甲作坊，里面都是没有工卡的越南人，他们整天辛苦工作美甲，可是还是没有身份，只能给雇主做“奴隶”。我一直为这些人觉得非常不公平，的确他们没有钱或者没有教育的条件在这里先学习拿学位找工作，也没有条件自己开自己的美甲店。但是这些不利条件就让他们活该非法吗？
我们都是人类，活在我们自己的地球上面，为什么有的人就有特权，在各个国家旅居当数字游牧民族，而有的人却为只是想换一个国家生活就那么难？
我知道有很多人会不同意我的理解，包括有很多欧洲人也觉得大部分偷渡来这里为了拿免费社保，好吃懒做。（我非常不喜欢“非法”移民这个词，谁是非法？没有人）。这点我不否认，很多北非的人在比利时拿社保，这个问题我觉得很好解决，就是为什么要社保这个破烂体系？取消吧，大家上面都该付多少付多少，这样最公平，不需要为别人缴税，什么东西都应该该付多少付多少，不就好了，谁都不欠谁。
你有钱有本事，想搬去哪里就搬去哪里，只要人家在这里可以生存，为什么不让人家？当然我是不认可给难民或者移民直接发补助发社保，我觉得任何人都不需要社保。试想没了社保，想来抢社保的也自然不会来。税收和社保体系才是滋生这些蛇头产业的罪魁祸首。
