Alexander:

I'd like to see you take this line of thought further.

Migrants are starting from zero - as you say. So why it that an advantage over most people in society?

As for wanting to be a migrant?

Not sure people would want to be a migrant per se. As that would mean leaving their country of birth. And a lot of people are quite happy living in he country they were born in.

However, I feel a lot would actually like to start anew from where the migrant starts. Why would that be?
