..and to be harshly blunt as well, it's really sometimes hard not to think prejudice because in cases of police brutality and killings of ethnic minorities, it's sometimes said ..stop judging, you don't know the whole facts and it's media portrayal...but this is exactly the same, it's judging and media portrayal and we don't know the facts of why it's the UK that refuge is sought...but the 'common factor' though is 'not the same skin colour' so not the same understandings/empathy and not the same humanity...and we only really have the 'luxury' of judgement and prejudice because of where our parents lived in the world...we moan and groan (encouraged by the media)...of so many in the UK claiming benefits and being so harsh on them because of it/they shouldn't be/they're not entitles to and all of those things that are thrown out...until it comes to those old overseas immigrants and then it's all ours, don't you know...we need to be looking out for own../our own that we often say aren't entitled and manipulating a system...
..the world sucks sometimes...

The thing is.Sad though it is.There's an awful awful lot of people who want to come here.There's even been people from South America been found amongst all these immigrants,People from all over Africa and all over the Middle East aswell as refugees.
You can't just have an open door.There has to be a system in place to process these people and find places for them all accross Europe and there should be Arab countries helping too.This is why Cameron said he would take them directly from the refugee camps.If there were no system in place the whole thing would collapse.Alot of these people are being taken advantage of by people smuggling rackets charging them alot of money to go on a dangerous journey that they might not make alive.This has to be discouraged.
I think we should be taking more genuine refugees but they have to be taken from the refugee camps and processed properly so we can know that they're not just economic migrants trying their luck because they think Britain is a soft touch.Do you not think it's strange that alot of these people supposedly fleeing for their life are'nt greatful just to be in a safe country?I know i would be.That is why the systems need to be in place because by the time they've managed to reach Britain it's gone past that stage of just wanting to be safe.I would bet many of these people are'nt Syrian or refugees even if some are but you can't distinguish between the genuine cases unless they're processed properly.
