Thousands of economic migrants are waiting at the border between Greece and the Balkan countries in freezing cold temps angry that they are not being allowed to continue their trip to Europe "FOR A BETTER LIFE"
Click on the link above to see lots of great information and pictures. The pictures show who is waiting to get into Europe and may cause an emotional reaction.
These are economic migrants who have invested everything they have to make it this far and now they are desperate to continue their journey to Germany where they will be taken care of. They say they don't have any money left and have no where to go, and can't go back to their home country. They feel the West owes it to them as human beings to be able to continue their journey to the promised land.
If you were in charge, what would you do with them?
Most people never get what they want or what they deserve. These people should be forcibly returned to wherever they came from and whatever they paid the smuggler charged them by taking it from the smugglers. The only way for these people to achieve the prosperity of the West is for them to do it for themselves. If they lack the money they can ask the Saudi royal family for some investments.
European nations desperate to find young workers because of below replacement birth rates tried to solve the shortage by importing people from the Middle East. That was a major mistake because most Middle Eastern males are not thought the basic need to show up somewhere on time and do what they are told that is the basis of an industrial workforce. The Germans and the rest should have either replaces the "missing" workers with ever more robots or under employed workers from south or Central America. These people have been trained to be workers and already share a similar culture and religion.
There are different channels for economic migrants. When you let in economic migrants as refugees, you do injustice to the real refugees; Infidels fleeing the tyranny of Islam.
AGAIN: They just want a better life! Don't they deserve it?
No.
There are more than 5.6 billion really really poor people in the world, people whose income is lower than the average income of people in Mexico. The USA has historically admitted around 1 million immigrants every year, so our immigration policy doesn't even make a dent in world poverty.
Also, we are admitting the "cream of the crop" from those countries. Over time, that practice just makes poverty worse in those countries since they are losing their most talented people.
The only way to address world poverty is to help those 5.6 billion people become more productive where they live.
They could have endeavored to improve their lives where they come from, by force if necessary. They are owed nothing by the west.
NOTHING? They are fellow human beings!
