Salvador offers citizenship to 5,000 highly skilled foreigners

I’ve been tagging in him suggestions for this for the past few years.

Good to see he’s finally seen the light - the issue with specific skills is you can’t easily take them to another country unless you obtain citizenship there (my issue) for it could be considered treason for passing know how to another state that could be a foreign adversary and the skill set could be weaponized (AI in my case).

It’s one of the biggest issues you can have - also have a friend PhD specialist in Australia in the chips field - he’s been struggling with the same issue.

So factor in the lifestyle - environment - crime etc and now this it’s certainly another major reason for consideration - but still obstacle- flight time
 
More countries in the Global South should start doing this.

Because you need the protection of dual citizenship and/or the ability to renounce said past citizenship.

The West is in terminal decline - if you were a banker, lawyer etc one can easily migrate for their skill set isn’t such that it can be passing of “technical knowhow” - over the past few years you’ve seen increasingly charges for transfer of technical know how.

With the states following a similar pattern they essentially can absorb STEM concentrated skillsets and the subjects can go without fear of repercussions and in mind of protection/security they didn’t formally previously have.

Britain disagrees. Every week, thousands of Doctors and Engineers travel across the English Channel in banana boats, and the government hasn't even had to offer them citizenship as an incentive!
 
The UK is in a state - I won’t even go into it because it’s so depressing, there is no saving it.
Indeed, the local cultural figures and cultivators of contemporary art have changed the country beyond recognition.

A picture says a thousand words. This is the modern UK: filled with gang violence

Not knowing that, I would think it was El Salvador.

The UK needs to follow and do what El Salvador did. Salvadoran gang crackdown - Wikipedia

smi(&% I have clients in El Salvador. Two of them were educated at the London School of Economics. I sent them this video. Their answer: "Here in El Salvador, it was awful, but we never reached such a low point." doh948""

Frankly, this video is beyond disconcerting, but it sheds light on some of the horror stories family members living in the UK have been telling me.

I'm really sorry to see the UK like this. cry&¤

The question is: Why? Why would anyone do this to themselves and their society? :rolleyes:

All of Europe/West is inviting the WEF for side discussions around G7 and taking a lot of cues from.

I would start there.

Come to think of it they even removed the laws that made it treason for them to be aligned with a political ideology outside of the UK as I understand

Because the current institutions are becoming more and more irrelevant every day and must be entirely rethought from the ground up. But most don't seem to want to let go of the past and cling to the hope that miraculously things will turn around.
That's why there's probably still a long way to the race to the bottom.

Not arguing that the UK is slowly? becoming a shithole, but you should stop boiling in the confirmation bias. There were always juicy areas that were unsafe to visit (despite being 99.99% white) and there are ares that are absolutely fine. And that goes to every country, even Dubai. Migration is not a problem, the absence of assimilation, victim mentality and tribalism is. Some of the smartest Brits I know are from Iran, Russia, Germany etc - they all went to the good schools and unis, built very successful careers and now their kids are on the same route.

On El Salvador subject - I wouldn't bet on the current changes to stay for long, but some might find the offer tempting.

Nobody said migration is the problem.

Mass migration is the problem.

And nobody is saying there aren't nice areas or that there were never dodgy places long before mass migration.

The problem is the nice areas are decreasing, and the dodgy areas are expanding at a similar rate to the non-native population that primarily leeches off the state.

You could wear a nice watch in London 20 years ago. Not so much now.

An Iranian who moved to Britain isn't a Brit. Just like you don't become a Sheikh when you move your lead gen company to Duba's free zone

Let's stay on topic, please, which is El Salvador issuing 5,000 citizenships, not whether UK is doing fantastic or not.
Why would you want to move to a dictatorship anyway? Oh right I forgot it's run by a benevolent dictator, such a clear cut concept:

Compared to El Salvador, many people find for example Monaco quite appealing despite it having Catholicism as the state religion and not being a democracy. Similar case with UAE.

Given certain tendencies it has become more and more appealing to obtain a second passport.

El Salvador has implemented some interesting tax reforms, e.g., foreign income is not taxable., which makes it more appealing.
