Same response as the other guy.. If I were to migrate, immigrate, or whatever to some other country, I'd fully be supportive of that country being suspicious of me until proven otherwise. This isn't just about one race, it's about immigration and what's happening. It applies to me as well - If I were to go to another country, in the name of being a refugee, I'd be willing to go through any long, tedious process to be welcomed into that nation.
Except, this is not how it goes for refugees. They grab what they can. Hope they have a passport and birth certificates for their entire family, maybe a little money on hand or in an accessible bank and RUN. Once you get there....OMG..there are a lot of other refugees here. It's REALLY chaotic. And things just go downhill form there....
That is one of the many problems in this current alleged "crisis." The term "Refugee" has been expanded well beyond what it really is.
The term "Refugee" historically has meant people, families fleeing their homes for fear that a bomber will drop one on them in the middle of the night, or that they will be slaughtered by soldiers in the street. So they run for their lives.
People "fleeing" to either try to find meaningful work in another land or to take advantage of the new land's welfare state historically does not qualify as a "Refugee."
That being said, anyone that want's to move themselves and their family to a new place to try and build a better life... I tip my hat to them and have all the respect in the world for them. But if someone is going to be a gate-crasher and bust into a new land... I've got an issue with that. Literally ALL first world nations have immigration policies. If someone want's to "bust in"... sorry, except for those who's lives are in imminent danger.... do it the right, proper, legal way.
You are saying the crisis is not real?
