IMMIGRATION thread

If there is a will, there is a way.

Wrong!! Where there is a whip, there is a will.

I also did not solely demand the gulf states to take in refugees, but also countries like e.g. Morocco, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan - yeah, throw in Turkmenistan too, for good measure.

The latter three have nothing in common with Levantine Arabs but religion (and I'm not sure it is the same kind - Shia or Sunni), so for them the refugees would be as alien as for Europeans.

and even in countries like the UK, France, and Spain there are still historic ethnic divisions after a millennia that continue to cause political, and civil, unrest.

Historically, it is the other way around: those countries integrated different ethnic groups thus inheriting the ethnic tensions that existed before.
