I disagrew with disbanding fortress Europe. From a humanitarian viewpoint I agree; but from a political viewpoint, this is essentially perfect propaganda for the far right and that's political suicide. Just think of 2015 and the Syrian civil war refugees and the vitriol that came from it. And the last I want is that the far right seizes Europe!

If you want to make immigration a non-issue, then procedures should not take months and years, but be easy and straightforward; acceptation, rejection, and so on. When rejected, still offer safe havens. Provide excellent resources for learning the language and culture of the country. Bar those that are fascist from coming in. Welcome non-fascist, non-conservative, LGBTQ+ refugees, and the like. Describe them as "returning Europeans" rather than refugees, immigrants, or whatever. I know it's dumb, you know it's dumb, but it will get at least some of those "anti-immigrationists" on board.

Give incentives for larger families (2-4 kids) while still supporting abortion. Support daycares. Young people tend to be on the progressive and left end - so that will help the left.

Support excellent education, more exchange programs. That also will reduce hatred of strangers.

I want also to make the housing and cost of living crisis disappear. And to have that change appear in the algorithms, which often instead seek to perpetuate falsehoods of it worsening.
