What's your take on the 3000 refugee a year limit the uk is working to? (20,000 by 2020)
If you flee because of war you don't care where you go, you just want to get away from the war. Moving to Denmark or UK or Sweden is a completely different operation.
Keep in mind that most people are left in the refugee camps near the conflict. For every person we have to take into our welfare system we are basically not able to provide for 10 if not hundreds of others in the actual area of the conflict.
The idea with being an actual refugee is that you are supposed to go back once the conflict is over and rebuild your own country. Thats not the plan of those who move so far away.
You are trying to turn something with a lot of gray areas into som black/white moral thing were the only right thing to do is help.
Sweden said just come everyone everyone warned them. Now they have closed the borders and is sending 80.000 back.
This is because they didn't realize that Denmark did which is you can't just take people in large quantity with such different cultures without it undermining the country they are migrating to.
It's easy to play the good person when you don't have responsibility for a country.
It's not cheap to get to Denmark, so only those with most money can do it, which means the rest are left in the actual refugee camps near the area they fled from.
All you need to do is go and check out the refugee camps in ex. Denmark and you will find it to be mostly men, many of them married which mean they left their wife and or children behind. Think about that for a moment.
By your argument we should just let them all sleep in a ditch next to the border of the country they fled, because that's good enough? That is more or less what is happening now.
Tell me. If Britain were engaged in a shooting war, would you consider the Isle of Man safe? Or would you go further?
