Many people ain't real happy with the Muslims trying to get into Europe; especially the young military age dudes.

Would many of us feel any different if those young dudes were the same "race" but, were "Christian" instead? Why I ask is it seems to me those "Muslims" WITH kids and old people are the real deal and are probably quite happy to get out of the Middle East. OTOH: when I was a young guy; I did some stupid stuff that I'd NEVER try in 2015. Many of us guys of ANY race when young had an "attitude".

Could you imagine if it was Africans swarming in. I think you'd see all out war breaking out at the Hungary border. Millions of Africans swarming into Europe would be met with bullets and bombs.

Egyptians are "African".

BTW: there are Somalis in with those "refugees" who ARE "Black" and, I don't think any of their kind have been shot at.

But what if the majority of them were from Somalia. I think we'd be seeing an entirely different scenario playing out.

Also, there hasn't been a peep of news about Russia or the Asian nations taking in any invaders.

People have always resisted influxes of newcomers, whether refugees or just normal immigrants. It's a fear-based human impulse to isolate oneself around those who think and act alike, justifying it by disparaging the newcomers.

That pattern has played out in the U.S. just the same over many generations.

During previous generations people immigrated to jobs whereas now people immigrate to welfare. Big difference.

Why should there be? They are independent nations. They don't owe the Middle Eastern hoard anything. The only ones they are responsible for are their own people.
