At that point, they are no longer refugees, but prospective immigrants and economic migrants, and should be denied entry.


In the next 100 years or so there will be a virtual never ending supply of "refugees" and "migrants" from the worst parts of the world so long as governments don't know how to function and the people don't know how (or don't want) to use birth control.

It is not the burden of other countries to serve as the releasing grounds for areas of the world exploding with war and population growth.
Maybe we could lace the water supplies of third world nations with birth control.

World History is a fascinating subject, and while their are many ethnic groups that have claimed to be Jewish in origin for centuries across Africa. Beta Israelis are obviously Jewish people.

Not so fast!

https://www.timesofisrael.com/netany...announcing-it/

"In a dramatic about-face, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday evening that he was freezing a new agreement with the UN refugee agency that would have seen thousands of African migrants given temporary status in Israel — mere hours after announcing the plan."

Somehow, Italy and Germany were supposed to get half of these people, which means they would have wound up with all of them.

Ethiopian Jews are usually invited to stay. There are around 135,000 of them living in Israel today. The migrants under discussion here are non-Jews.

Either countries have borders, or they dont. Either you believe a country should be able to deport illegal aliens or not. I believe it is not only their right, but their duty to their own citizens. These Africans could have stopped in a number of safe countries before entering Israel, so I dont buy the “refugee” argument.

And just because America is failing in their duty to their citizens, and just because left leaning Europe is filling their countries with people from the 3rd world, doesnt mean that Israel should be criticized for doing right by their citizens.

Nope. Germany states it knew nothing of this deal.
