In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years.
1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state.
2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state.
3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.
However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity".

'Learn its language, to respect its laws, to get to know its customs, to participate in communal life and to offer your gifts with gratitude'

I've always been of the opinion that since it was the Irish and Celtic monks who saved the Church and the West following the fall of the Roman Empire, Satan has a special hatred for their descendants, and has tried to destroy them ever since as a kind of spiritual retribution.

We must never forget that every single person is made in the image and likeness of God, and have an inherent dignity.
However, moving to Western countries is not a human right, it is a privilege, and that privilege comes with certain conditions.

I grew up incredibly poor, in public housing, and without a father.
I never committed a single crime.
There is no excuse.
