Ah - so the only countries that should be expected to take refugees should be those immediately sharing a border with them, right?

- curiousgal 10y agoOf course not. But when you have "refugees" demanding to be allocated in a safe country and not another safe country then you can't help but question their status as a refugee (i.e. someone seeking safety). http://news.sky.com/story/1557225/refugee-its-germany-or-nothing-for-us http://news.sky.com/story/1557225/refugee-its-germany-or-not...
- dalke 10y agoYou say "refugees" but I only saw one such refugee mentioned in your link. I certainly didn't see enough to know if it was 0.1% of the refugees or 10% or some other number. Now, suppose you are a refugee, a mechanical engineer fluent in Arabic and professionally competent in English. Would you have a preference for a country like Sweden or Germany where you are more likely to get a job with your skills? Or would you equally accept being told to move to some other "safe country" where there is high unemployment, little demand for mechanical engineering jobs, and few English speakers? How do you express that preference without your refugee status being questioned?
