Why aren't people angry at the economic migrants

So OP how many Jewish refugees went to France and Spain instead of the UK? Were they also looking for money?

The Jews, whom the Nazi's (and some other European countries) were persecuting, fled from Germany and ended up in far flung places like the United States, Russia, Israel, the UK and Arabia.

If the concept of a Refugee entails that he or she should simply travel to the nearest country and wait until their country is habitable and they are under no threat of persecution before they return, then there would not be any diaspora originating through the movement of refugees.

Refugees (and indeed many people) want to better themselves as best they can and the way they think they can do that, is to emigrate or flee to a country which offers them the best prospect for doing so.

To deny others the same benefit that you would derive for yourself, simply as a result of fortune having been born on a particular piece of land, is not only selfish, but one of the most despicable acts that a human could ever engage in.

Enlighten me on the relevance of your post, because I fail to see it.

Well why dont we just put the like 5billion people from countries poorer than Germany and UK and bring them all to these two countries? That would work.

What do you reckon?

They are abusing the asylum process and drowning out the voices of actual refugees asking for help, largely young men who are draining a system that should be helping the needy, women and children, old and infirmed.

Not to mention these men are illegally crossing international borders and breaking the law, costing us incalculable amounts in processing costs that could have been better spent actually helping Syrian refugees.

Why are so many people not angry with this, if people really cared about the refugees from all parts of the world surely this should be our top priority. Women and children first, actual refugees first....... I don't get it at all.

People aren't mad at the 'economic migrants' because there are hardly any of them. Also , can you blame them for coming to the more wealthy countries - if your family were starving and without home surely the uk is a better destination than Greece!

By the way , the system does help the needy , women and children , old etcetera etcetera , it's just people like you are too blind to actually notice.

I can tell you that a a flippant attitude probably won't help.

5 billion people are not fleeing, nor are 500 million people fleeing, nor are 50 million people fleeing and nor are 5 million people fleeing.

Also , far more REFUGEES go to Lebanon and Turkey than the UK and Germany. surely you'd rather them be safe in a wealthy country like Britain than unstable and homeless in Lebanon? Or are you that selfish that you really couldn't care less?

Fleeing what? Turkey? Lebanon? Romania? Sanctuary but one filled without luxuries?

Lets just get to the nub of this shall we. You do not care about starving, persecuted impoverished people of which there are hundreds of millions around the world right now.. you care about these economic migrants because you are a simpleton who reacts with emotion and irrational thought and the big picture (REALITY)

Of all the people in the world that need refuge, these Iphone owning, payed about £2000 pound to smugglers syrian families and now residing in safe countries are pretty low down on the list yet because you can see them in the media, you "care"

I'm having a difficult time pinning down exactly what your objections are.

The fact that people are (and have been) exploiting the system or the fact that the people coming here to exploit the system are foreigners?

Why would you hate someone trying to make the best for themselves and their families?

There does exist a subtle difference between maintaining the current system so that it benefits you only (whilst you stop others (read: foreigners) from leeching from it) and reforming the system so that it benefits neither you or them.

The latter has some semblance of equality whilst the former is simply greed.


The issue is not whether or not people will want free stuff but whether keeping the status quo system of benefits but denying foreigners is an active form of discrimination against people who simply had the misfortune of being born in a land where there was no system.
