The occasional donation to a non-profit might help people subsist, but it doesn't build a better society with more opportunities for everyone.

Nobody needs an obscene salary for writing code when others are struggling to afford the basics.

As an aside, I remember being really taken aback when I went on holiday to the US and most of the menial jobs were being carried out by Hispanic and Black people. I guess if you are a white American you get inured to it, but as a white European it was kind of creepy and a bit repulsive.

Race aside, how is that different than western europe importing eastern europeans to work their menial jobs?

I guess freedom of movement allowing Eastern Europeans to legally live, work and pay tax in Western Europe without jumping through hoops, and immediately being able to benefit from the social systems there.
