The refugee and immigration sector is now a business model to many many people that take a great interest in keep it going and increase it with Think Tanks and NGOs, again on the expense of the local working class that has to compete with them on subsidies, rents and wages.

There is no utopia. People do what they can. After that, it is upon a person to seek help. If they want to live under a bridge, so be it. At least they know where to go for free meals every day and, if required, medical help.
Anyhow, this is outside the threads topic and a waste of my time.
Nine out of ten concerns are completely unfounded.

Living conditions in Portugal have never been easy compared to the rest of developed Europe and I have been hearing about economic crises since I was born, this is just one more. I almost cringed reading you complaining about fuel prices in America, in Portugal currently the gallon is $8 and there is no comparison in terms of GDP per capita; and yet, the last thing people have in mind around here is to blame Ukrainians fleeing the war for their problems. Perhaps in America but not in Portugal.
The Ukrainian diaspora in Portugal has always been huge, even before the war. Most of the refugees in Portugal are staying with relatives who already lived here. And contrary to what some have said, Ukrainians don't flee to the West to live on subsidies. The vast majority are hard working people who just want to live a normal life, otherwise there wouldn't be tens of thousands of them in Portugal, where it is not easy to progress in life and much less to live exclusively on the tiny subsidies that are offered in the first place...

New Zealand's most shameful secret: 'We have normalised child poverty'
One-third of the country’s children, or 300,000, now live below the poverty line – 45,000 more than a year ago

"Please, Yesno. Give us free room and board. It will ease our financial difficulties. You'll hypothetically take in a Ukrainian family but not us?! Why do you hate your own countrymen?!"
