Really? So are these people "refugee's" as well, or are they just coming for money? Syria was just the first, now we have north africans flooding Europe as well! If its so easy to just claim refugee status, how about you make everyone refugees? 

Look I get the fact Europeans always love helping others before themselves but these people aren't refugee's! Nigerians are not refugee's! These people don't face  persecution, they just want free money! Maybe Europeans can't think of anybody who would screw the system, but frankly even I've considered it as well. Fly to Germany or Sweden, rip up my passport and documentation, and claim to be a minority from Syria. Then all the welfare money and free housing can come my way! 

But back on point. Europe needs to at least close off migration from North Africa, as these people DEFINITELY aren't refugees! If they want to get into Europe, they can immigrate legally or get a working permit. If they don't want too, they can stay where they're. 

The moment I saw the title, I knew it was going to be you

And can you explain what is wrong with my opinion? I'll be more than happy to discuss it.

Why do you care? I mean you living in Canada and all...

While I agree this mass immigration should be stopped especially with the amount of deaths it's leading to in the Mediterranean (700 yesterday alone). I find it funny barney because if you were in their situation you would probably try and migrate too. You can't blame these guys wanted to leave their tough lives for a better one. But at ty the same time the EU needs to get its act together and stop them boarding the boats.

So? I mean 1/2 my blood is European, and I care greatly about them. Wonderful continent, 1000s of years of history, and for the most part good people (had it rough with some Germans).

I understand that they face hard lives, but I don't find this fair to Europeans at all. Its putting far too much strain on the system, and frankly most of Europe isn't that rich. Excluding western Europe (except for maybe Spain), most of Europe is quite poor.

The history wont go away...

My point is why I care, not that it'll go away. How exactly is this fair to Europeans to allow in so many economic migrants. How about the USA do something for once, or how about the middle east. These people are drowning in the 1000s, then blaming Europe for letting it happen! These people need to solve the problems in their own countries, while Europe does the same for themselves.

Go ahead,I could care less. I only find it a bit tiring that the topics are always the same. Perhaps spicen it up? Talk about different subjects?

Again, your choice, but thats my two cents...
