IMMIGRATION thread

[Montmorency]

Context is key. If they claim to be refugees, but wanting a good job is the real reason for migrating, then that's a status they shouldn't have.

It is simply a fact that virtually-all refugees to the First World are also economic migrants.

This shouldn't be difficult to grasp: 'Well, my home country is screwed and I cannot tolerate staying here any longer - I might even get killed! Where can I go to that is both safe and will provide good opportunities for myself and my children/family?'

Whether or not you think that makes the situation more acceptable is irrelevant, as that is the basic logic motivating all refugees traveling long distances to prosperous European countries.
