I get it -- it horrible what the refugees are going through, but why do we can't just open all the borders everywhere.

What infuriated me the most was when I heard on the radio one morning how the US wants to bring in thousands of refugees. So they don't have to work to get to America, they don't have to study their asses off and pay literally hundreds of thousands of dollars, then fight to stay there all their lives, like I will have to, and thousands more like me. They are just accepted there. Like that. Given a home and all. Yeah, stay, here's some free education.


What are you even talking about?

our disabled were to have their benefits cut big time,to allow the government to rake in millions, so why the hell are we bending over backwards to give benefits houses etc to people who have contributed nothing to our country,sick of it.

I think we should count our blessings that we do not live in a country that is ravaged by civil war, and has other countries bombing the place to oblivion.

I often wonder how they keep their phones charged when they're on the road. My charger is next to my chair and my phone often goes flat ('cos I forget to plug it in)

hahaha I mentioned the very same to my hubby... and wondered if their sleeping rough, where do they plug them in.... the media too overdo it with some of the refugees crossing a shallow river on TV a few weeks ago.. it was a dramatic report about how dangerous it was and some had been washed away in the current but when the camera panned back half a dozen photographers were in the middle of the river quite happily snapping away...

I think UN should pressure the gulf states to take some, and give aid to the ones there. I know this sounds heart less but I mean then do anything good for Europe or America. At least here in the states there alread are MASSIVE amounts of welfare recipients, and housing issues. We can't take of the people here let alone another 100s of thousands of other people. On that basis alone they shouldn't come here. Give them decent tent, and food near their homes but in a safe area for humanitarian purposes. Of maybe I have a better idea. If Germany is really so upset about these migrants why don't they BOMB the F***CK outta Isis? Is there anything wrong with what I just said?

There must be another reason to bring to these migrants to Europe. Maybe to create chaos for some reason? I have no idea why the west thinks it's their responsibility to take care of all the poor people in the world..
