It’s been proven a myth that you can have strong borders without willing the means It is tough leading a shaky coalition government, following poor election results, and with your personal support dwindling. Forced by your own ministers into compromises you do not believe in, and reduced to proposing policies that will be rejected by other EU member states, it can be embarrassing. Yet Angela Merkel fights on as Germany’s Chancellor. Europe’s migration crisis – sparked by Merkel’s government three years ago – has quickened the populist advance across the continent. The Hungarian government is busy vilifying immigrants and minorities. The Italian Prime Minister talks about drawing up lists of Romany gypsies. For the first time since the Second World War, Nazis sit in Germany’s Reichstag. And even in the great liberal victory won by Emmanuel Macron, one third of the electorate voted for the French National Front. Last week, more than 500 migrants arrived in Greece, nearly 900 reached Italy, and almost 1,200 arrived in Spain. And the authorities must now house, educate and integrate the many people who reached Europe in the last three years. By 2020 the German government will have spent an estimated £74 billion dealing with the domestic costs of the crisis. To maintain social cohesion, you need to control immigration. To control immigration, you need strong borders. And to have strong borders, you need to be prepared to adopt tough policies. What good does encouraging migrants to undertake dangerous boat journeys do? The UN says about 10,000 people have died or gone missing crossing the Mediterranean since 2016. What about putting people’s lives into the hands of criminal gangs? EU data says many migrants have fled Syria, but others come from countries including Albania, Eritrea, Nigeria, Pakistan and Vietnam. Many are economic migrants who have reached Europe aided by people traffickers. And why should we continue an asylum model that favours the strong over the weak, the young over the old, and men over women? Three quarters of asylum seekers in Britain are men and the majority are in their early twenties. Too often, with today’s system, the vulnerable get left behind. If the migration crisis taught us anything, it is that virtue signaling is not a policy: the only policy with virtue is one that works. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...-europe-needs/ Thoughts? |

about these people i don't give a damn
but the innocent women and children, well they do deserve to get better lives in another country so i'm not really against the refugees, but only the people who are innocent in all that chaos in their countries, especially women and their children should get better lives and the children deserve proper education

There's a fundamental misunderstanding, really, that anyone who is against mistreatment if human beings "wants open borders and to let anyone in!!!"
No. We shouldn't have open borders, it's impossible to accept all asylum seekers let alone other immigrants. That's true. Here's the thing though; You don't have to be vicious about it. The jeering, spitefulness and hatred directed at migrants themselves is completely unnecessary. No it's not possible for the world to move to Europe and solutions need to be found... But if it was any of us in one of these struggling countries, we would be doing the exact same thing. We don't have to abandon empathy and compassion in order to control our borders. People can be turned away considerately without resorting to bleating "nyyyeeeerrrrrr dirty get back to yer own country!!". |

Well that is just people. Personally I feel nothing for them or their plight, but you obviously do - just differences in people. But politically you cant afford to be emotional so much.

Well yes more than likely, but then when people echo the same sentiment in that they want their kids to go to local schools, they want services that they pay for to be workable and not stretched beyond breaking point, they want to travel to work in relative comfort not be squished nose to nose with fellow travellers, elderly people want to live in an area they recognise and that they feel comfortable in and not alien, in other words they want to maintain a decent quality of life, the racist card is pulled out of the hat, this empathy only seems to work one way for some

People such as Corbyn and Abbott want to let everyone in and there is evidence to suggest that will not be a positive situation for the rest of us. It is mainly strong young men coming to Europe and we have already seen some negatives effects of that. Last edited by Brillopad; 05-07-2018 at 10:40 AM. |

but also they aren't the ones who need to get away from those horrible countries, they can easily give up their place for the women and children who only suffer in those countries so i'm only wanting to allow refugees in if it is the ones who deserve to get away from all the trouble in their own countries

Then the question is asked ' why did they send them? They must have known they would die!' What is really meant is ... nobody come, we don't want you. Whatever the issue is in your country we don't care.
