Europe
Refugees Ask, 'Why Don’t The Europeans Want Us?'
2016-03-07
Long, long piece from VOA. Thousands of refugees from Syria and Iraq stuck on the border between Greece and Macedonia are wondering why the Euros don't just let them through to Germany, which is where they all want to go.

Nice going, Ms. Merkel: you've established your brand!

#11  Didn't catch it all but IIUC CNN AM NEWS SEGMENT indic that the EU wants to deport or send all Muslim Migrants to Turkey where they will be properly vetted prior to being formally accepted + allowed to re-enter the EU.

LOOKS LIKE TURKEY = EU'S GIANT VERSION OF AMERICA'S FAMED "ELLIS ISLAND"???

Because you can't figure out the answer to your own question.

#5  It is not the stray puppy we do not like, it is the plague ridden fleas and the rabies you bring in with you. Als we cann afford only one puppy, not a pack.

#4  At the risk of evoking Godwin's Law, I think it's safe to say that Merkel has effectively done more harm to Germany and Europe than Hitler.

#2  Where are the NIMBY 'sustainable growth' wienies to explain this. They seem so vocal when its something else everyone can benefit from (other than the Lower Delta Smelt critter).

#1  Rents up & wages down, you can see why the rent-seeking establishment want them.
They also won't pay the non-financial costs in increased criminality and higher density schools hospitals and roads.
