EU Immigration Crisis Megathread

[Liep]

To prove Yi's thesis right:

A Syrian girl tries to bribe her way into Hungary with a biscuit


Another one after finally arriving in Sweden

And I might actually switch over to the "out of EU" British crowd the moment I have my citizenship here. It's incredible how a few thousand homeless people can bring several countries to their knees.

Will you claim refugee status from Orban's dictatorship then? May be not enough for the "out of EU" crowd in the UK.

I was just joking :p but I am quite disillusioned to see all this chaos, finger-pointing, and general cluelessness already happening, when we are still at the tutorial level of this whole thing. In other words, the EU is failing it's stress test

Man, all these Syrian young able men that he refugees are allegedly solely composed of sure look like little girls.

Yes Yi has been joking about that, do try to keep up.

Europe is being conquered by a bunch of cute toddlers.

The Syria crisis turned Turkey into the major refugee-hosting nation (with an extra 1.59 million refugees), but the very large America just said it will take some 10,000.

Awesome.

Personally I think we should take all that want to come. But I believe in open borders so nobody should listen to me.

[garbon]

I'm certainly glad that we have the English Channel and are not members of Schengen. Immigration is over 600k a year here but it is conducted according to the law.

[Valmy]

Clearly a channel works better than a river.

All of this is the USA's fault, could have nuked the whole middle east years ago, this would not be happening.

[alfred russel]

Wow, Mr. Generous.

200,000? Really?

Germany is 28 times smaller than the US and has one quarter of the population of America, yet is expecting four times that 'giant number' of yours. This year.

To be on the same level, you should be offering shelter to 3.2 million in 2015, and expecting far greater numbers in the coming years.

According to that link, there were 350,000 migrants detected at the EU borders in Jan - Aug 2015. Even if that is underreported, Germany is only expecting 800,000. There aren't 3.2 million migrants to accept.

We also have over 10 million people in the US that have migrated here illegally and if you pay attention to the republican debates even most of them are not in favor of pushing them out.

[alfred russel]

If only Mexicans were Christian...

Which goes a long way to why they are accepted (political grandstanding notwithstanding).

if we really wanted to troll europe, which i know we dont  , we should announce that we will accept all the christians from the region without exception, as they are a persecuted minority. And leave unsaid that we are leaving you guys with the muslims. 

[Grey Fox]

Canada should volunteered to accept 200k refugees. By the wars end only about ~50k will stay in Canada.

Europe has an enormous immigrant debt to the US.  Tens of millions of immigrants left Europe to the go to the US.  There are currently 40 million immigrants in the US.

Refugees have cleared the highways and things are back to normal.

I like this picture from yesterday:

Kids are cute generally.  Not particularly surprising but it does help to remind people of that every now and then.
