The facts are there are not only emigrants fleeing from wars, but as well migrants wanted better life.
The reasons for people to go and risk their lives on flimsy boats, to go in countries they know don’t want them have to be addressed no?
So?
Wars: NATO is one of the biggest providers (if not the biggest). Like it or not, good reasons or not, that is the reality.
Oppression: In the fight against communists, Western Powers forgot that Nazism and Fascism were the best enemies of it. Or, more accurately, they turned blind eyes on the fact the ones fighting Communism were fascists (sometime limit to Nazism like in Indonesia, or Malaysia and the repression led by British SAS). In helping dictatorships to eradicate all what was “communist”, (definition going to students having Che Guevara T-shirt to unionist asking for pay rise), they first protected those as Saddam Hussain, Iranian Shah, Pinochet and others St Lazare and Franco. We are still supporting Saudis’ and Qatar… In killing all the lefties, we let a vacuum for the despaired, and this vacuum was filled by Religious. And because in this field, there are no borders and a strange understanding for all their against-basic-human-right, we helped the ones as ISIL and Al-Qaida to flourish.
Some might finally see that there are more Muslims fleeing the Islamic Paradise created by ISIL than ones who want to join.
You might say why these are not fighting the Religious Enemies. The answer is because we killed or helped to kill the potential leaders who might have done so.
Climate changes: Nobody speaks about this one. We have conferences after conferences about what we should do, but nothing happens.
So, how long must wait the populations whose lands are flooded every years for now 5 years, thanks to our industries and our greed (I shortcut).
California is now on its 4th years of drought. Being part of the USA helps, but in Somalia? Same conditions, plus war lords? Really? Emigration is the only way to stay alive.
You might built a new Chinese wall (which failed), or to make more ropes (made in Bangladesh anyway), put more borders, more wires, people who are dying will come.
Developed countries have to take their responsibilities and work on durable solutions.
And throwing back refugees in the sea or in the fire is not.
