The immigrant/refugee problem that has been growing for years in the mideast and Europe has now reached a crescendo and has reached the point where it is affecting the economies and social structure of several european nations. It won't stop there, before you know it; this great migration will impact every major nation in the world.
The National Geographic says that over 50 million people are adrift and severed from their homes and here lately an estimated 100,000 per day are joining their ranks. Moving from a milder climate these people are moving to a much colder climate and face severe cold in just a week or two. The need for warm clothes, tents and sundry other things are desperately needed. Where can they find factories that can turn out these items in the volume required? Where will the money come from to buy these needed items?
People from all income levels need to pitch in and help but clearly the super rich have a golden opportunity to make their life count and give huge sums of money to bring some relief to this unprecedented crisis.
Good. Sometimes children need to burn their finger on a match to realize they shouldn't be playing with them.

So, the way you feel this crisis should be solved is by enabling it to continue.
If you have a child who burns through his monthly allowance on the very first day, giving him more money will never solve that problem.

I will admit as this post went on it went in a direction I was not expecting it to. Maybe as the weather gets colder they can remigrate further south. Perhaps Turkey?
If Europe wants to save itself from the social, cultural, and demographic crisis that is even now threatening to engulf it, it will immediately seal off its borders and do whatever it takes, up to and including the use of military force, to prevent any more refugees from coming in. It will then severely curtail its overly generous welfare programs and strictly enforce a policy that one must be a citizen in order to work or obtain public schooling, with the goal of encouraging the refugees who are already there to go back to where they came from.
Then, with the reprieve that these policies will grant them, if they wanted to address the problems at their source, they could re-colonize the countries in Africa and the Middle East from where most of their refugees have been coming. Either that, or they could just wash their hands of the whole mess and tend to their own people and their own way of life.
The one thing that will NOT help is to keep shoveling aid at them; it will only encourage them to stay, and to have more of their friends come.
Just in: Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and even liberal Holland say they will categorically refuse any EU refugee / "refugee" quotas. Visegrad Four, Hollande reject refugee quotas - PRAGUE POST | The Voice of Prague
It is good to see the leaders of European nations putting the well being of their own nations first.
I don't understand why people just believe that the rich people - or any people - should just foot the bill because immigrants come into the country.
What? The immigrants deserve the privilege of living off the labors and taxes of other people? The citizens of the country are allowed to be plundered by people who can come and go as they please?

It wasn't Holland (no E) but Hollande (with an E), the President of France. Which in my mind makes it even more significant, as the refugee crisis (which is to say, the Muslim crisis) is more acute there than in perhaps any other European country.
Hey they claim to have the best answers for all the ills that afflict humanity...go figure it out Europeans.
