You can’t help but be impressed with the sheer resolve of the human spirit. How did thousands of people reach Central Europe on foot from Syria? You have to look at this map to grasp the enormity of this migration. They had to walk the desert under sniper fire and barrel bombs, cross the ocean and crawl through razor wires. Now, here we have our own beloved minorities who can’t seem to get out of West Philly and move couple of blocks east for a better life. What killed the human spirit in them that is so abundantly on display in the Syrian refugees?

The handouts by the Democrats would make anyone lazy.

Why are you connecting Syrians and minorities?

The will to change ones condition and taking matters in your hands instead of waiting for a politicians to fix your life. . If you want to take “minorities” out of it I am fine with that.

Only about 25% of these migrants are from Syria.

Minorities ??

Yeah, because white people can't be lazy.



Thanks for posting this, OP. Maybe I'll get off the government teet and get my GED, job at Whataburger and make something of myself.

Not to say that I am not sympathetic to the plight of Syrian and Libyan refugees but...

So the lesson minorities are suppose to learn is to flee the violence of their "communities" and ask for the largesses of governments to solve their problems.

Just read where two groups (famiies) of Syrians that were allowed into Uruguay complained that they were not given what was promised and besides the prices were TOO high and there were NO jobs.

One group demanded to be allowed to leave and has since returned to the middle east into Turkey where they were stopped due to irregular papers.

This action could multiply thousand fold with the huge number going to Germany, Austria, France and England.

Some countries just Never Learn.....a FREE handout will never end.

This is the kind of misguided ignorance that brings tragedies to head. The Syrian civil war would have ended had no one intervene to "topple dictators" and "bring democracy." The rebels would have been eliminated, and the country returned to peace and stability and there would be no such exodus. Sure, life under a Syrian dictator is not pleasant, but compare to what Syria is now---disasters, chaos and hotbed for ISIS--- it would have been a much better place. Germany, France and other Europeans who aided the rebels were all part of the problem, and so they must now take in thousands of these refugees.
