Hi everyone. The MP I usually call when complaining about discrimination against foreigners wants to know more about precedent in other countries. He wants to take initiative to find these, but I suggested it would be easier if multiple people pull up the relevant laws that forbid discrimination by citizenship in each of our countries, provinces, states, territories, regions and relevant jurisdictions.
I’ve started the list by sourcing Ontario. Feel free to add laws, court cases and other relevant information that supports the idea that discrimination by citizenship is not a thing liberal democracies allow.
Fact is all countries discriminate against immigrants, legal or not. Sure illegal immigrants probably see far more discrimination than legal ones. If you wanted precedent there are lots of them.
We’re not looking for that. We’re looking for how immigrants rights are protected. I’m not going to go to parliament and offer them proof that MORE discrimination is the way to go. I’m not looking for a discussion, we’re looking for supporting arguments, not detracting arguments.
Your MP sounds like he’s saying, so Taiwan discriminates foreigners, show me examples from other countries where they treat foreigners better than Taiwan. It sounds to me like he wants to help but his constituents are pressuring him some other way. So he wants to see how more progressive countries treat foreigners. Sounds like saying, we treat foreigners bad, show me how your countries are doing better.
I can only name one example, that in Germany international students don’t get charged higher tuition just because they are foreigners.
No that’s not what it is at all. But other MPs, especially Kuomintang MPs are not going to be as enthusiastic without proof.
But this thread isn’t meant for discussion. He’s already convinced, he wants supporting arguments. So I need proof, not speculation to help him and help foreigners.
