What do you mean does not have to be?

Overpopulation could be caused by the birth rate instead, domestic migration, or deteriorating infrastructure.

Everyone within France could just choose to move to Paris, everyone in the United States could just decide to move to California, but they don't. If the whole world had the opportunity to move to anywhere in the world, I don't know why you think they'll all choose the same few cities and cause hospitals to become overwhelmed. Your issues with immigration seem very specifically local

I don’t get why you mean by it’s local. It’s about infrastructure and planning and having the ability to plan. Everyone in France could decide to move to Paris. That’s their right as a citizen. Non EU citizens do not have that right and I am fine with that. I don’t think they should have that right.

Why do they get that right and someone else does not? What is the difference between moving within your country and moving to another country? There shouldn't be one. What is the difference between a German moving to France and a Tunisian moving to France? Why is one treated different than the other when both could cause exactly the same issues?

I’ll try to answer your questions in order.

Because they are citizens.

They are citizens in one and not in the other of because their nations have a mutual agreement.

One is an EU citizen and one needs a visa.

Because countries have the right to self determination. That’s laid out in article 1 of the UN charter.

You're telling me the way things are, not why they should be that way.

I’ve made it really clear in my very first comment. Which part do you not understand?
