IMMIGRATION thread

[Sir Moody]

Neither Africa nor Pakistan is being bombed "en-masse", and though Turkey has had an increase in terror bombings to my knowledge they have not targeted refugee camps. But I know you don't like facts, so don't worry too much.

... what

This spectacular display of ignorance forced me out of self imposed lurking.

There are currently 2 Major conflicts raging in North Africa (the South Sudan Civil war and the Boko Harem insurgency) and numerous smaller conflicts including the ever worsening situation in Libya and the Somali civil war which has been on and off again since 1991).

On the Pakistan front there is open fighting with the Taliban and constant US drone bombing along with an increase in repression of Pakistan's Christian minority (including several death sentences for "heresy" and numerous cases of lynchings)

Honestly he is entirely right - what the German Government did was neither here no there - the refugees were already on the move and en-route - Germany was left with only had 2 choices, welcome them or close the borders.

The current situation on the Greek/Serbian border should show how option 2 was never a good plan.
