What is constantly ignored by the media is the fact that most people coming to the EU illegally at the moment are not refugees but migrants that come because their countries economy is in bad shape. For example in Austria only about 20% of refugees are given asylum status, the others are simply found to be illegal immigrants. Though I can understand the motivation for these people to come we can't take in everyone from Africa or the Middle East that would like to come. On top of that their cultural values are incompatible with ours and this leads to major issues between immigrants and the local population. That's why I really don't care for this kind of activism by Doctors without Borders. We have borders and laws that should be enforced, our politicians can't just ignore our laws because they personally don't like them or have a different view. EDIT: Sorry I can't reply to thesimon below in a comment, that's why I'll put my reply in here: See my comment regarding Germany: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11928358 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11928358 This data again doesn't reflect the situation. It says that we had 20.000 submitted asylum requests in 2015, even though we had 90.000 registered refugees (who didn't formally seek asylum) Everyone is free to guess why the other 70.000 did not submit an asylum request.
