Migrant Crisis

[neil999]

These migrants are like Kopites at a Champions league final. They want to get in by storming the gates rather than getting a ticket through the proper channels. And it utimately ruins the experience for everybody.

ooh blimey

According to Wiki, Germany is the 2nd most popular destination for migrants after America.

I thought perhaps it'd be mainly Visegrad countries, but Turkey is far and away the biggest source, followed by Poland in 2nd.

Sooo the UK isn't the number one place for all dirty stinky immigrants to go and steal jobs and abuse benefits then? Shocker.

Reckon this will all blow off in a week or two, just like the "Bulgarian and Romanian issue" a few years ago, after the UK gets sent 1000 migrants.

Loads of Bulgarians in Germany now, contrary to this same issue I pointed out from a few years ago - a lot of them decided to go to Germany and not the UK. Who'd have thought.

It's a good job the Berlin wall has fallen down or migrants would kick it down. Or something.

Migrants would kick it down trying to get to the UK*.

FTFY lol

Statistics of this, por favor?

Have a look on the Internet ........

I also don't get the EU hate, seeing as, statistically, the bigger portion of immigrants in the UK aren't even from EU countries.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Internet tells me the UK isn't immigration heaven.

Ta-da.

It's down to the EU to take a stand though on it all. They need to - for the first time - make a big decision which could affect thousands of lives. Accepting refugees is very different to accepting asylum seekers.

I think that there is a difference between economic migrants looking for a way to make a living and refugees who no longer have anywhere to go where they once lived. There will be a spectrum of need for both, ranging from those who are chancing their arm to those who are utterly desperate and see no other alternative.

I trust you will be inviting a refugee family to stay with you. Don't talk about it and lecture others from your moral high horse, do something.........

they don't need to stay with me, we can house them. that is about as childish an excuse for heartless views you can have

Since 1997, the population of the UK has risen by 6million, in the same period the German population has reduced by approx 1million.........go figure.......

Brought this on ourselves by not dealing with Syria and ISIS when we had the chance.

Passive foreign policy.

Couldn't find it earlier, but the government claim that they will process each asylum application within six months, although it may take longer.

https://www.gov.uk/claim-asylum/decision

It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't more towards the longer side of things than the shorter side of things. So that's six months where you don't have access to welfare, you aren't allowed to work, and survive on the subsistence money you've either brought with you or are given by the border agency.

You have to imagine it'd help people to assimilate more if that time to process was shrunk a whole lot and they could get on with finding a job. It's probably no surprise that so many turn to black market jobs to support themselves.

No it's not. When you say 'we' can house them, exactly who, where, who pays.......if you are not willing to house them why should somebody else. Don't preach, do something.......

Very narrow-minded comment. Why do people just generalise any semblence of reasonable argument against their own? Not all people who have concerns at the numbers on the move are basing their opinion purely on stealing jobs and/or claiming benefits.

Absolutely not! The Syria situation is a complete and utter mess, and the hot-spots elsewhere aren't going to be solved overnight.
