IMMIGRATION thread

Look after the women and children as though they are natives. Train the men as an army, under European officers, to fight ISIS. If we can't trust them with heavy weapons, then train them as light infantry with European forces providing heavy lifting. Those who aren't suitable for fighting as front line infantry can work in the logistical tail instead. Those who won't work towards this should be interned until such a time as they can be deported back to Syria. Those who distinguish themselves can be offered EU citizenship, distributed between the EU countries.

Or just form an Arabische Legion to counter Putin.

And annex Neo-Prussia with it.

If they want to sign up for longer, feel free. If they distinguish themselves like the Gurkhas do with the British Army, I'd welcome them. I'd put other indeterminate Muslims from the Maghrebi countries in the same boat. They can earn EU citizenship by providing something that we're short of, and doing something that concretely demonstrates their commitment to the EU. If they don't want to do that, they can be interned as threats to national security until such a time as we can find a place for them elsewhere. Women and children (and they'd have to be bloody obviously children to qualify as such) can be dealt with as though they are natives.

That's one spin to put on it, but the more interesting implication (as I see it) of my comment is that if Germany were to reach a point where there was political will to deport hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers, then a political will for irredentist Anschluss (entailing the deportation of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Russians) would not be inconceivable.
