Spain has been in the news lately due to an influx of enrichers via its Ceuta colony in North Africa:
We’re informed that low-skill migrants make any European nation richer both economically and culturally. If that weren’t true, there would be no reason for Europe to accept even one low-skill migrant (acceptance of migrants can’t be based on humanitarian grounds; Sudan has a population of 52 million, for example, and it makes no sense to provide four generations of welfare to a handful of Sudanese in Europe while providing nothing to 52 million Sudanese in Sudan).
After one bounteous day, Spain is now in possession of roughly 60,000 additional migrants (BBC). Can Spain now offer these enrichers to other EU nations for a reasonable processing and transportation fee? At 60,000 migrants per day, even $20,000 per migrant yields a $438 billion/year revenue stream.
Bizarrely, the head of the EU says that enrichers are “unacceptable”! Europe previously wanted to be enriched, which is why some European nations are now 25% migrants or children of migrants, but Europe no longer wants to become culturally and economically richer?
Here’s the same leader saying that €10 billion in tax dollars are going to be spent on data centers because, presumably, private companies are underinvesting in AI?
Could Spain fund a massive collection of data centers by selling migrants to France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden, and other EU nations? Retail electricity rates in Spain are more than 2X what consumers in the efficient U.S. states pay so it doesn’t seem like the most obvious place for AI cogitation.
It has been suggested that Spain could return Ceuta to Morocco, as a result of this incident.
This would make the value of 60,000 Ceuta migrants >= value of Ceuta. Google AI very roughly
estimated value of Ceuta territory to be 30 billion euros. Therefore the value of one migrant >= 500,00 euros, which considerably exceeds the earlier estimate of $20,000. Do not underbid!
