BBC News: Migrant crisis - UN says Europe is 'on cusp of self-induced crisis'

This is what happens when you fail to turn the boats around and Merkel et. co don't just welcome them but practically invite them!

’The UN has said that Europe is on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis’

’The UN has said that Europe is on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis’ (BBC News)

Ten times the number of migrants travelling to Europe by boat this year. Hate to say I told you so (also see spoiler below for further reference)

Thanks to European opinion leaders (read: NIMBY/ivory tower pseudo-liberal media/political elites), and their imbecilic Guardianista proponents, who have (in many cases wilfully) encouraged migrants to come, and Turkey/Greece just waving them on through, we are now looking at:

• The disintegration of Schengen, accelerated decline of the EU, and evermore fractious/fractured relations between member states

• Crime waves, an enhanced terror threat, and other atrocities e.g. mass predation of the vulnerable (Cologne etc)

• Reactive vigilantism, persecution (directed at/within migrant groups) and the very real prospect of civil unrest and race/religious riots/war

• The growing possibility of related international conflict e.g. anti-Turkish sentiments on the rise in Germany, Austria, and Greece

Why are these people risking their lives to come to our shores? Because they want a better life!

Why are these people risking their lives to come to our shores? Because they want a better life! What do we do? We can't let turkey bear all the burden,it's not fair. It's so sad when I see little kids being dragged around for days on end from one country to another just so there parents can give them a better life,a better education and most importantly hope. Like I've said before,we should have strict border patrols and those who don't have legitimate documents should be sent back.

I completely sympathise with them, and their desire for a better life. But what about all the Vietnamese, Indian, Bangladeshi, Tibetan, Chilean, Ugandan, Ghanaian, Zambian, Guatemalan, villagers and townsfolk who also want a better life? Why should simply being a North African/Middle Eastern be the only criteria? Also, why have the gulf states (with all their riches, and their pretence to be Islamic) closed their borders?

So Europe's standard of life should be dragged down to that of the third world ... because you don't like seeing kids cry? If we brought all those people over here, everyone would be crying.

They can also make the journey if they so wish.



It's not but it just happens to be a part of the world that has lately seen a disproportionate amount of wars and uprisings.



Because they don't want refugees and working conditions are terrible.

those who don't have legitimate documents should be sent back.

Easier said than done when refugees/migrants are quite literally breaking and entering.

Why can't we get more security at borders then?

Why should Europe have to reduce their standard of life?

Why are these people risking their lives to come to our shores? Because they want a better life!

what is a little kid going to do to you? Fair enough,you're concerned about grown men but kids?!

Those who are unable to leave their countries, trapped in conflict are the ones in need.

Which is why the UK aid effort is properly directed at those in camps in the Middle East, not those wealthy or aggressive enough to force their way to the borders of Europe.
