someone posted a map of the current emigration from Syria.
Basically went sort of like this. Every country on way to germany no war. Turkey, romania, bulgaria, greece etc.
No war.
But they go through all these countries to Germany?
It's not just to get away from war, some of them want in on the gravy train. I mean obviously this may be bit different as Germany offered to help, but lets talk about some of migrants from inside Europe that go through all these other countries that are fine just to get to the UK.
There is a reason for this. Benefits instantly without having to work and an nhs they can use free of charge.
This will come back in the long term and bite the UK in the ass, reference this post in 10 years time. It'll be an I told you so.
Surely it's not surprising that if they are seeking to build a new life for themselves, they would try and do so in the more prosperous economies, or those with the most employment opportunities on offer?
Implying that they can't be genuine refugees because they haven't set up shop in the first non-war torn country they venture through, and that their attempts to reach Germany, the UK, etc are therefore nothing more than an attempt to exploit the benefits systems of such countries is a vast oversimplification. And one that adds nothing but the usual tabloid hysterics to the debate.
It leads to the sort of tripe that the gutter press rolls out on a weekly basis about how all migrants are little more than a swarm of parasites intent of draining our resources dry, and the usual drivel by barbaric dunderheads who seriously think the answer to the problem is mass murder.
They are just human beings who on the whole are just trying to seek a better life and their plight deserves rational consideration, rather than being a debate hijacked by such hysterics.
