Poverty in Europe

Almost 80 million people, of whom 19 million are children, live below the poverty line in the EU. Despite an improvement in overall living standards over the past decade, poverty and social exclusion remain major issues in most countries, with substantial differences across the EU.

WE NEED TO DESTROY POVERTY. I CAN'T SEE PEOPLE DYING LIKE THIS.

Imigrants coming to EU from poor asian and african countries are raising poverties. Why? Becouse they are coming without EU's permission, and ofc people coming to EU are uneducated and ofc they'll live on streets. Same is happing to US. Lets avoid poverties and send those imigrants somewhere else. We dont need them in our countries, becouse they're only making things worse.
