Austria’s conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer wants the right to use cash enshrined in the constitution, he told Austrian media in remarks published on Friday (4 August), an idea the far-right Freedom Party has been pushing for years.

I can't say much for Europe, but in America, some immigrants tend to not have IDs, birth certificates or other important documents needed to open a bank account. Other people tend to be far away from a bank, especially in poorer areas. Banks tend to serve the rich, and don't see as much profit operating for the poor.

I'll bet that some of the same things are true in Europe

Illegal immigrants, not all migrants. They don't have those things because they're in the country illegally, we can't run society on what are by definition, criminals, can and can't access.

So, you'd rather have anyone who's "illegal" acquire all of life's necessities by criminal means? That's a good way to jack up crime stats.

I think most people would prefer them not to turn up at all and apply legally.

You missed the point. Not that I expected much after you equated arriving in the EU illegally with being a "criminal."

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never did that, good job on your reading comprehension.

You appear to be answering to the wrong comment. You didn't, NuPNuA did though.

Lemmy being a buggy mess as always. Your comment appeared as an answer to me and looking at context doesnt work.
