What are the pros?

There are an abundance of great things from exposure to other cultures - food, clothing, furniture, styles, and other material things. So too, this also includes other ways of thinking - customs, religion, philosophy, sciences, etc.

My best friend from grade 7 to university was from the Punjab. Here in Canada we were taught to count on our fingers 1-10. In India they count 3 times on each finger, between the knuckles, so on 4 fingers on just one hand they count to 12 using their thumb as the place holder.

Stereotypes exist for good and bad reasons. I like most immigrants I've met. But times have changed and the politics have gotten crazy and the ruling class is determined to keep folks from waking up and/or fight us all the way to a more fair paradigm. So these days I'm all for pulling back on migration insanity and all of the chaos its meant to inflict rather than a more harmonious natural flow of culture and humanity.

Also FYI, Africa is a shithole because Europeans made it that way, and the west still does.

The ones that assimilate are fine, they will integrate to the West. The ones who do not, cling to primitive superstitions and backward cultures, can get the fuck out. Better still, don't come in the first place.

And Africa has been a shithole for thousands of years. We didn't make it that way.

That's a very black or white way to look at it, pun intended.

You can't always tell who will adapt and who won't. But that's not the problem. It's a political problem when the so-called leadership is intentionally weaponizing migration, creating chaos and unfairness against their own citizens, and not properly prosecuting bad apples.

Actually no, Africa has not been a shithole for thousands of years (any more or less than the rest of the world). Yes, the West made it that way over the last millennium. I'm astounded you can try to claim otherwise.
