The problem with the current asylum system is basically anyone can come in and say: "look, Russia, US, UK, France and coalition blew up my middle eastern country, so now countries like Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Austria who had nothing to do with it, need to give me asylum to me and my whole family, simple" which makes the system very easy to be gamed as the ECHR forces you to accept anyone who crosses your border and claims asylum with a well rehearsed sob story.

So, is there any surprise of the growth of right wind in Europe? The bigger issue is that voting right wing won't solve this since they legally can't, it's not under their control but the ECHR, so we just keep moving right while suffering the same immigration issues making it a double whammy.

The solution is to reform the ECHR membership and give sovereignty over asylum policies to the member country instead of an foreign org people can't vote for.

Especially now, when Russia and Belarus are weaponizing illegal migration by giving them visa free travel for money to Russia and Belarus so they can then storm the borders with Finland, Norway and Poland. Recently a Polish soldier working the border with Belarus got stabbed on duty by a migrant trying to force the border[1]. This is obviously unacceptable and should mean proper military response against illegal border crossings.

No-no-no, Denmark took an active part in Iraq invasion and was also invaded Libya. Refugee crisis isn’t just about Syria.

Correction: wrote Usaf instead of ISAF

Austria not Australia.

Not in the list here:

OEF is an NATO Operation, Austrias policy is not to join any International primary Military Organization.

(about 20% of Tonga's contribution)

Tonga : GDP $000.5b, pop 0.1m

So Tonga 1/1000 GDP and ~1/100 pop contributed 5x more soldiers than Austria.

There's a Coldplay song:

Tonga: "Para-para-para-dise"

Austria: "Para-para-para-site"

Not an easy thing to fix

Still seem worth it overall nevertheless especially considering I already have to live with our local grown racists here anyway.

Thank you, I think I know who I really am. Do you?

Yes, some people are woefully naive and think any kind of immigration is a net gain

Most people, thankfully, have a more balanced view of things

Honestly there isn't anything serious about such lack of checks. I'd say maybe US or Australia or such have serious checks in place -- EU is nowhere even close.
