This is not semantics. Refugees and immigrants are not the same. Refugees are forced from their homes by violence and war. They are not leaving a country because they can't make a living, they are leaving because it is a struggle to stay alive.

What difference does it make? Well, first, motivation. These people who are leaving know the hell hole they left and will do anything to never return to it. Second, refugees come from all walks of life, doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. War affects everyone equally. Immigrants tend to be low skill and low education, because those with higher skills do okay enough to stay. Finally, number. Immigrants come over years and years and the number is huge in the end. Refugees come all at once, and while it is a lot to handle immediately, in the end, their numbers are relatively small.

Also, for some reason this isn't a popular justification, but compassion. Most people here can't even fathom what these refugees are going through. They aren't "invading." They are fleeing. They went through horrific conditions and I would hope most people are compassionate enough to recognize that. I can understand not being compassionate to immigrants, but the refugees deserve a human life, and we as humans should do what we can to help.

The Muslim population in Europe creates a massive disproportional amount of violent crime into the EU, this is a fact!!  It doesn't matter what you want to call them- refugees or illegal immigrants. :shrug:




Multiculturalism refers to decades of immigrants moving into Europe, not a sudden influx of refugees lasting a few months.

I understand that it is survival--these people are going where there might be food and shelter, and hope..  i get it.  but at some point there will be too many--and it will be bad for the overall good of the countries. 

It's rather like the problem of 10 people in a lifeboat, and food and water enough for 8--who are the two that are going to get thrown overboard? 

Face it, the socialist types always want to do what's good for the collective--so what if NOt letting more in is what is good (and prudent)?

Yeah.  I'm really second guessing letting them in.  The women and children I wouldn't have a problem with but the amount of rape going on is really bad.  We have enough violence towards women in our culture already I don't think we need to add fuel to the fire.

What point is too many? Only 150,000 refugees have declared asylum in Europe. The millions that people feared, are still in Turkey and other Middle East countries. I'll remind everyone again, that the Bosnian War created 2,000,000 refugees, the majority of which were Muslim. I am unaware of any crime increases or economic downturns as a result of Europe accepting those refugees.

Sure, there could be problems with accepting refugees, but as of right now, those are just assumptions. I posted a couple studies that said the net effect is positive, you don't have to believe them if you don't want, but given how many refugee crises have occurred around the world, you should be able to find studies that describe the negative effects of accepting refugees, assuming they are as prevalent as you say. I have yet to see any of these studies.

Refugees are being refused on the hypothetical grounds that they will cause harm, which is ignoring the very real harm of turning them away.

There's a lot of refugees being raped in the German camps and have been several reports of refugees raping German nationals.  We can also look at the crime rates in Europe from muslim immigration and see parallels.  I don't see how that's a hypothetical.

I don't want to turn them away but I don't want women I love and care about getting raped either.

This is where you have to be careful, though.

Obviously, the people at the top don't want these refugees, their decisions are the reason they exist in the first place. So maybe by if you throw a shoddy budget at them, things will inevitably go wrong and then you have the public inertia to close your border on them.

I'm not trying to excuse any reprehensible behavior by the refugees or anyone else, but it's kinda like if you were a mayor and you didn't want a prison in your city because it will fuck up real estate and perception and resources, so you hire shit guards, build crappy fences, let a few prisoners escape and some others get murdered. Then you have an excuse to move the prison by claiming lack of resources. At the very least you'll get more money to throw at the problem.

They WANT up to 200,000? Or they're prepared to accept up to 200,000?

None of these Western governments WANT these refugees, that should be abundantly clear to anyone who understands policy.

I agree, that's why they need to return to their homelands in a few months when it becomes more stable.  Europeans don't deserve to invaded by outsiders and then provide them with a life time of assistance.

I think your understanding of the word 'invaded' isn't quite accurate. Regardless, as Boldaslove pointed out, many refugees are highly educated, productive members of society, that contribute more than they take.

I love how right wingers were all about bringing "freedom" and the "Murican way" to the middle east, but when it comes to doing something aside from bombing them, we see far less altruism.

In fact, the middle east didnt want to be fucking invaded by the US. Thats the REAL definition of invasion. If we didn't run sround invading other countries we wouldn't havr this problem.

I was never for US involvement in the Middle East, so that generalization doesn't apply to me.

Also, the Middle East and other areas of the world are fucked up and the US isn't really responsible. Stop blaming the US for every wrong in the world, the people that live there are responsible.

Yeah it isn't hypothetical at all. The refugees are predominantly Muslim men. It is a fact that they treat women as subhuman. Liberals are so blinded by their need to help everyone that they can't differentiate who they should help and who they really shouldn't help.
