If Britain and the US took these refugees

Wow, so let’s just bend over for any one who uses violence against us?

Why should they be our problem? These other countries need to get their shit together and stop relying on West to take care of them.

The EU has ways of dealing with refugees. Legitimate refugees are housed in their country of entry until their asylum application is processed, and if asylum is granted they are allowed to stay and work in that country. These “refugees” chose to bypass that system for some reason, passing through several safe…

They’re not, by any definition of the word, refugees. They are safe. They’ve traveled through multiple safe European countries to get to Calais. They are economic migrants.

No, we’d be having stories about them robing people in England an the US then. Or in the US, getting shot by people while trying to rob them.

no, it would just involve crime of other sorts.

While I’m outraged at the actions taken by Western countries (especially my own) that created and exacerbated the situation in Syria and other countries that caused these people to leave home, your comment is incredibly naïve. If we were talking about an exodus of “just” 500,000 refugees in aggregate, a finite amount,…

Correct, the story would instead be about the same refugees causing problems in the United States or Britain (rape, theft, terrorism, etc). Not to say we don’t have those problems here already, it would just be worse.

This was never official and was written by a poet trying to raise funds for the construction of the statue. it was not written by the founding fathers or any other major american historical figure.

And if banks gave out free money to anyone who asked, there wouldn’t be bank holdups either. Doesn’t mean it’s even worth considering.

As a middle easterner, I call Bullshit! When you are holding up an automatic weapon, trying to stop a truck, you’re called a hijacker, or a felon by another word. They tried to take control of another human being by force, no country wants a person who resorts to that level of thought, period.

wow, there is so much incorrect with that statement.

I guess you live on planet ‘noreality5' right? No crime has been reported in Germany from refugees right?

Right, we’d just have stories about these same people stealing, murdering, raping. Because we have just been shown what they’re willing to do.

You can’t be serious....

I have a feeling we’re going to look back this at this period with horror and disgust, as we let mentally unstable people and even children (!) decide that they should go through life with permanent, serious, surgery reprucissions and unproven and untenable hormonal supplementation

Prepare to be flamed.

Are you not only agreeing but praising a comment on Jez? Now I've seen everything.

So boring and pointless. Reminds of when people call in to sports radio shows and say “I played football in high school....”
