Why do immigration systems seem so complicated? (lemmy.ml)

I don't get immigration system. Why can't I just walk into a country's borders and just live there? Why should I have to get kicked out because I seem "unfit" for a country.

Some countries discriminate against disability, race, sexuality, or other traits.
Politics messes up people's ability to live in a country, or even be recognized as human.

I think alot of countries are afraid of taking on extra liability...and to degree, i understand this. However, wealthy countries, like mine, behave badly towards immigration - even though our country was started as a place to emigrate to.

Anyway, I'm looking into (casually, right now) emigrating to Equidor and currently, their policies are pretty fair in my mind. You have to prove you're not a criminal and as well that you will be capable of supporting yourself there. I think that is very reasonable.

Wish me luck!
