Migrant Crisis

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

bit of disharmony here lads. sort your feelings out and get back. I have to go

This may be a shock to you. But people can have different opinions.

The way this thread has gone is comparable to how the world powers have argued, split hairs and postured throughout the entire crisis, meanwhile people suffer. This situation has been created by the Superpowers and the UK, Saddam observations are highly relevant but hindsight will not cure what is happening now and this is the problem to be addressed. Harshly, the future of Syria is dependent on its entire population, including those who have decided to leave. Those migrants will have extended family in that country hence some will wish to return others will not although ultimately that is where they all belong. It must be hugely questionable allowing a mass movement away from that country if that nation is ever going to recover thus the need for camps is vital, the poor folk having to use them must have their positions emphatically explained, any ignoring such advice should then be treated as being potentially illegal immigrants in any country they attempt to settle in. All other economic migrants should be treated without exception as being illegal immigrants and returned to their homeland. Some will scream what about asylum seekers, sorry while these extraordinary circumstances continue there can be no such excuse.

You can see from comments already made here that the 'Powell scenario' is looming large on the horizon and that is something we must avoid at all cost. Even the most extreme racists will truly not want to see blood on our streets because it just won't be Islamic blood. The way this debate is being presented at present by both politicians and media that could soon become an inevitability as both religious and race cards are being played far too often for my comfort. Some big question that should be asked is why the oil rich states are doing so little to ease this situation and why the so called economic migrants aren't taking their chances where the big money is.

While we splutter and dither people are dying, people are being ignored and sadly children die in circumstances that can be avoided and could well have been foreseen.

Its just the way our leniantly run country operates. Doesnt mean I agree with our system

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

I don't get the attitude that these people are less worthy to our protections because of where they were born.

They didn't make an informed choice to be born into misery and suffering.

So what is the solution lads? Let millions in and encourage more to come? Let none in and don't even rescue them at sea?

Let's be realistic,

We need to deter them from making the trip and help genuine refugees in their own countries and neighbouring countries. We should take Australia's advice.

main reason for any tolerance is down to its increasing multi-cultural nature. lets hope it continues and we do the right thing
