A record 65.3 million people were uprooted worldwide last year, many of them fleeing wars only to face walls, tougher laws and xenophobia as they reach borders, the United Nations refugee agency said on June 20 for the occasion of the World Refugee Day.
I've said it before and I say it again: the best place on the planet for Syrian refugees is in Syria. The best place for Libyan refugees is Libya. It's their home, their land, their culture, their faith. It would be far smarter for the West to set up displacement camps in these countries, protect them by any means necessary, and let the hard boys fight it out. Once they're done (and we could help with the killing of hard boys) then we could send all the good people back to their villages and cities.
But moving them to Germany? Norway? Minnesota? That doesn't make a bit of sense. They don't particularly like us Westerners, they don't particularly fit in, they don't have the language or training to get jobs, and so they'll not do well. Their kids will be radicalized, and we'll have problems. |

#5 So the best place for Mexicans is Mexico?
Yeah, I agree. Configure migratory settlement neutral areas managed by the UN with funds washed through the IMF. Each member nation would pay a fee per refugee head for their citizens of record.
Wait, why does this sound a whole lot like reservations for the American Indians? What a failed dismal relocation solution that was/is. |

| #4 You get what you tolerate. You gave colonialism a bad name even though in most cases it follows the old Monty Python skit - what have the Romans ever done for us. It dragged stone and bronze age cultures into the 19th and 20th Century. It wasn't 'perfect', however it did avoid the hell all so often the places reverted to after decolonization. Another gift of the Left. |

#3 I adopt an HIV model for modern world.
People who have HIV don't die of it. They die of some other infectious disease - because they no longer have an immune system.
In my view, Islam is some other infectious disease. TransNational Progressivism (which rules over EU) is HIV. |

#2 g(r)om, from a certain perspective (schadenfreud) I agree with you.
I think, though, that for making the world a more settled place with less chance of catastrophic conflict keeping them "home" is the best answer. |

#1 I've said it before and I say it again: the best place on the planet for Syrian refugees is in Syria
To be candid, after Israel been a subject to intense international (fueled by petrodollars and led by Euros) pressure for two generation re "Palestinian Refugees"*, I'm kinda happy West Europeans have an opportunity to study the subject at first hand.
* See Joan Peters: (1) Arab emigration under Perfidious Albione, (2) Population exschange. |
