I don't think any country has to be responsible for anything in order to accept refugees, do you? If you are fleeing from war, then you should be able to apply for asylum/refugee status everywhere. Doesn't mean that every country should accept them,but the implication that EU countries are not responsible for the conflict so they shouldn't help out is.....weird.

Maybe EU shouldn't be sending help to people affected by tsunamis, or earthquakes too? In the end, we are not responsible for it, so why should my tax money be going to some poor people in a country I've never been to or plan to go to?

"Luckily there are some leaders out there that are not afraid of this stupid political correctness"

I am pretty sure some people said the same thing about Hitler calling out Jews, not being afraid of political correctness, exposing them for what they were! Everyone knew what letting jews sprawl might lead to!
