The fact that the majority of refugees arriving to Europe these days seem to be pushing to get to Germany, Britain or Scandanavia despite being able to "survive" in Turkey, Greece or Italy seems to refute your point a little.
- pm90 9y agoI don't see that it does, really. If Turkey gave citizenship to these refugees, and just allowed them to start their lives, they would perhaps have continued to stay there. Maybe I should have used a better word. They left their homeland to escape terrible conditions, but their conditions in camps in Turkey or Greece aren't very good either. They are trying to get back a semblance of normal life, which Germany seems to promise them.
- LARGEGALAXY 9y agoSounds to me like you have been brainwashed. The "poor children and mother escaping their dangeorus homeland" is a myth. This is the reality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPKqM-TV2i8&t=7m44s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPKqM-TV2i8&t=7m44s The condition of a homeland is the byproduct of the people living there. Wherever the people go, the conditions follow.
