I think you really mix things up, refugees, migrants, numbers. I think you just hiding behind that excuse for an integration plan for something that has happened before again and again even to countries with pretty much no infrastructure. >> Greece can't manage its own unemployment let alone train, educate and integrate migrants. It's funny you saying that because Greece is a good example of open borders back to 90s and the influx of hundreds thousand of migrants from Albania. Was there any plan? Absolutely nothing. There were tensions and racist attacks but in perspective they did have a positive effect to the greek economy that wasn't back then any better than it is now. And they did integrate to society. >>I would even say this open border policy is the reason why migration from Africa through mediterranean sea intensified and we see so many drowned now. That's exactly what right wingers are saying. And makes absolutely no sense. Offer to those people safe and guaranteed passage and they will not be drowned, won't be killed, won't be raped on their way to wherever they want to go. Why do people have to make this complicated?

Why don't you clear up these numbers? I think you are a denier and simply refuse to see the other side of the coin. Even refuse to accept that Europe has faced a massive immigration issue. Turkey got almost 4 million refugees. Were not the EU agreement these people would be heading towards Europe. The issue it's not really complicated. You just have to admit that massive immigration has some social and economic costs. Maybe not for the wealthy but surely for the leas fortunate "natives". Right wing wins because of deniers like you who can't provide a compromise solution. "Let them all in and we see afterwards how we handle it" doesn't put people at ease. Not to mention the security risk.

  UNHCR - 2018 report [1] "During 2018, the refugee population in Germany continued to increase, numbering 1,063,800 at the end of the year. More than half were from Syria (532,100), while other countries of origin included iraq (136,500), Afghanistan (126,000), eritrea (55,300), the islamic Republic of iran (41,200), Turkey (24,000), Somalia (23,600), Serbia and Kosovo (S/ReS/1244 (1999)) (9,200), the Russian Federation (8,100), Pakistan (7,500) and nigeria (6,400)." Do you see anything weird in those data? 24.000 turkish people have been granted asylum by Germany. The same country that EU acknowledge as a safe place for refugees to return them back. I think that speaks a lot about EU's totally despicable deal with Turkey that has been criticized again and again by so many organizations. [2] [3] Sadly, we always return back to Smullyan. Whatever i show or tell you won't change your mind about how the little way of life of natives must be protected over human rights of others. I only hope that pro-europeans, left or right, stop ridicule themselves by criticizing Trump's ICE while they are responsible for far worse atrocities. Same pig, different color.

I think you deliberately ignore the details for these asylum seekers. We all know that after the failed coup Erdogan started to persecute political opponents. Does this mean is an unsafe country for syrian refugees? Maybe you should ask yourself why the west supported the military coup(media included) in the first place? There are 50-70 million refugees over the world. How many should Europe take to be considered a good protector of human rights? Should we go all in? Let them settle in and see how we handle it afterwards?
