Why won’t the world tackle the refugee crisis?

2016-09-18

Absolute first-class hand-wringing from the Guardian. What they and the rest of the progressive whingers miss is that 1) it's bloody difficult and expensive to move all the refugees to the West 2) the refugees don't really want to "assimilate" in the West (indeed, some want to conquer their hosts) and 3) it's better to fix the underlying problem(s) that led the refugees to want to leave their homelands in the first place.

Especially fix the underlying problems. But then the Guardian editors are Europeans, and they've learned to live with problems rather than solve them.

#6 "Are you suicidal?"

Well, yeah, #3 John.

Ain't it obvious?

But they'll feel smug and self-satisfied as they die . . . .

#4 Like massholes and caliphornians moving to red states and trying to turn them blue, these "refugees" seem to want sharia wherever they go, even though they already had it where they came from. I sense a pattern here...

#3 About 150 refugees and migrants wait for help during a rescue operation on the Mediterranean Sea off Libya.

The 150 refugees on the boat shown appear to be all able-bodies, young men about military age. Do you really want a 5th column movement in your midst. Are you suicidal?

#2 and 3) it's better to fix the underlying problem(s) that led the refugees to want to leave their homelands in the first place.

...however, don't mention colonialism.

#1 Yea, why their fellow Muslims don't absorb them?
