    The Global South? Those people aren’t going to lay down and die. They’re gonna climb North, as they should. And then we’re gonna have to decide whether to shoot people approaching the borders or accept a huge population influx. Given our political reality, I think there’s a good chance we try the first option at first.

      Yup. Sadly the truth. And then probably cry about all these migrants bothering them “for no reason”, and that it’s hard to find a good reef to dive in on vacation.
