I wonder what the criteria are, I hope unemployment rate, GDP/capita, and public debt.

Now that those idiots in Berlin have remotely opened the gates and even lured them in, one should at least try to keep the damage as little as possible and limit it to those oh so welcoming countries.

Spreading makes sense as the last thing we need is concentrations of Muslims like in Parisian suburbs.
I think there is a critical mass factor here. Below a certain percentage, Muslims get diluted in the dominant culture and thus pose no risk. It also reduces distrust on the part of locals, which makes employment more likely, thus reducing radical tendencies resulting from a lack of perspective.

I think it would be much easier to integrate 10m Hindus or Buddhists than 100k Muslims.

There was a report today describing how easy it is to get a Syrian passport. There is a network of forgers, based mostly in Turkey. One calls them up, tells them the desired name and sends a photo, and 40 hours later one receives the new Syrian passport, which all but guarantees asylum in the EU. The cost is several thousand dollars, which shows that many of those people are not at all poor refugees. A reporter did that and got his passport as ordered, showing the photo of a Dutch politician, and an Arab name

Before bringing strangers, I would bring the descendants of expelled Algarve, Andalusia and Aragon moorish living in Tunisia and Morrocco. They tend to be rich and some do speak Castillian. Many of them are buying back their old houses (not cheap) in Granada. After all, the deserve the same treatment of Sephardic Jews that are now Spanish citizens. They are asking for their passport to invest in Spain and buy back properties. In Morroco, they are called Andalusians and Castilians. Many do look northern Spanish because during 20 generation they mixed their blood with northen Spanish and goths to prevent problems in the future, now many look like northen European tourists.

You should visit Marrakech, very near to your house, fascinating, entirely safe, prices incredible.

They are not, they were expelled when they were not muslims during more than a century.

Any publicity is good publicity?

Many of the refugees landing in Spain will have something in common with spaniards:
They will be trying to flee the country to see if they can get a job.

The only difference being, they can't flee Unlike EU citizens refugees do not have the right to settle and work anywhere within the EU, they are tied to the country that has been assigned to them.

I felt bad for Europe at first, but now that I've seen so many Europeans welcoming the refugees and pretty much saying this is exactly what they want, it has actually become a lot of fun to watch. Sad to see thousands of years of history being erased in a generation, but it makes for good television.

When Europeans start to flee the continent I hope they go to Australia instead of trying to come to America though.

Yes, I'll admit that this detail slipped my mind when I came up with that ****ty joke.

That's only an issue of time. Once they've put the time in they'll get their citizenship and then they can go wherever they please.
