IMMIGRATION thread

[Husar]

Because we could but won't? Isn't it a bit cruel to give false hope in the end.

What false hope? If they actually flee from a war we offer them a chance to get a life here. I'm not aware anyone from here offered them much more.

We both know that it was a bad idea comming here, everything they once had is useless here, a Syrian brain-surgeon who lost everything is still going to be sleeping in one of the hundreds of beds in a gym. All we can do is mob it up and throw it in a bucket in the end, we can't provide what they think we can.

Now you're confusing what is achievable in the short term and what is achievable in the long term. A brain surgeon can get a job here in the long term. Other people can't, there was a story of an Afghan who hoped to get a better job here but was disappointed and left again. The German government now pays the Afghan government to advertise their own country so fewer people come here. The thing is that when people have no hope in their own country, they usually look elsewhere, it is not new and merely human nature, nothing we can do.
