Migration crisis: Germany presses Europe into sharing refugees

[zenitzz]

France agrees to proposed new quotas system and Brussels unveils plans to quadruple the number of people spread across most of the EU to 160,000

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, looks set for victory in her campaign to press Europe into a new system of sharing refugees after France caved in to a proposed new quotas system and Brussels unveiled plans to quadruple the number of people spread across most of the EU.

In a major policy speech on Europe’s worst migration emergency, Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European commission, is to table proposals next Wednesday for the mandatory sharing of 160,000 refugees between 26 of the EU’s 28 countries

Britain, Ireland and Denmark are exempted from having to take part, but Dublin has already agreed to participate and David Cameron is under increasing pressure for Britain to pull its weight as the migration crisis escalates with scenes of chaos and misery on Europe’s borders.

Berlin and Paris have sought to maintain a common position for weeks, but the French equivocated on the key issue of binding quotas. On Thursday, the president, François Hollande, aligned himself with Merkel’s drive for compulsory EU sharing of refugees.

This is very serious issue for Europe now and the real test of European freedom and free society.
It's easy to talk about democracy and justice in times of peace but now we will see how European politicians are serious and consistent and if they can solve this problem.
If other countries refuse to accept refugees, it will only show their selfishness and narrow-mindedness.
This is much more than a political issue, this is a matter of basic humanity and solidarity towards one's neighbor who is in trouble.
Let's show understanding and help these unfortunate people.

Looks like Hungary is being punished with the influx of "migrants" by you-know-who for not towing the party line.

Orban is heavily criticised by Germany and EU for protecting Hungarian interests and trying to keep "migrants" in check.

Does this look like migrants? And how did this army turn up virtually in the centre of Europe en mass?

Well, those fuckin' retards in germany have made a nice big predicament for all of us. On one hand they are inviting asylum seekers, but on the other hand they are demanding that the Eastern European countries hold those migrants back. All of this happens without explaining anything about the immigration procedure for the migrants. In addition now they are also keep blackmailing Eastern Europe with suspending the rights to free movement, if they not willing to take a big chunk of the migrants... those countries are still struggling with the fallout of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, unemployment is still around 10%, so what the fuck they should do with a bunch of migrants?

i dont care about germanys threats to switch off schengen treaty - let them

just close the borders and make those idiots go home. dont see any issues here...
i dont know why europe is afraid of leftist propaganda

Germany's threat is not just empty rhetoric. Millions of Eastern Europeans work in Germany (especially those from Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Croatia.etc, mostly on blue collar jobs). If Germany sends back all these people and replace them with Syrians, Sub-Saharans and Afghans, then social unrest will reakout in Eastern Europe.

[Stargazer]

I heard on BBC today that UK is going to take more refugees despite early protests. It's funny that these Syrians are supposedly running from war, but they don't want to settle in peaceful eastern or southern Europe. They want to go West to Germany, Austria, Frence, England. Why? Because of social services. They want to get paid for nothing and live on benefits.

well, such decision would probably more hurt germans than others. believe me. do you really think they would pick these bush-beaters over EE workers? talk about stabbing oneself in the back

Well I hope the funding for this is going to be deducted out of the foreign aid budget.

the only thing they should consider is whether they want their countries being arab/muslim majority in 50 years time

[bryant.coleman]

50 years? I doubt whether it will be that far. According to my calculations, England will be a Muslim majority nation in less than 30 years from now. France will be under Sharia law by 2030 or earlier. Germany might held out for some more time, but it is doubtful, given Merkel's new found love for Arab Muslim immigrants from the Middle East.

Some wealthy Egyptian has offered to buy islands for the refugees to live on: http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/04/news/refugees-island-billionaire/index.html?iid=surge-toplead-dom

We all know that this is not a practicable solution. The refugees (i.e. migrants) would like to reside in a rich country like Germany, and not in a third world shit hole. Whatever the media says about the migrants, they are mainly fueled by the economic factor. They want the generous welfare payments, which countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom offer.

[worhiper_-_]

Meanwhile, there's a Swedish academic pushing Europe to take in more refugees.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uljFaRuJ68  [sarcasm]Sweden YES![/sarcasm]

What many people don't realize is that as soon those people flee Syria and step on the ground of a state not in war they become economic migrants. Instead of applying for asylum, they pay human traffickers in Turkey to transfer them in EU countries where the borders are open for refugees. They start trying to reach destinations with the most liberal laws on migration and loose welfare systems as they come to Europe.

The guy want to buy an island from greece witch i think It is still in the 1st world (until now  )
But ofc buying an island isn't a solution at all, u need a lot of funds for the buildings, foods, etc and for how long?

[bryant.coleman]

Read that article carefully. His idea is to purchase an island from either Greece or Italy, and then to declare independence. If the island becomes a separate sovereign entity (i.e outside the European Union and not under the jurisdiction of either Greece or Italy), then under no circumstances it will be considered as a part of the first world.

This is when socialism gets out of control.

This is socialism on steroids guys.

First they steal from middle class people to subsidize poor class people, and in the result make poor everybody while the rich gets richer.

Then they steal money from middle income countries, so subsidize people from poor countries, and in the end they make everybody poor there except the few corporations that profit from the low wage workers.
