North* Africa

Unfortunately, North and West Africa are largely dysfunctional so Im not surprised this is happening. Almost every negative stereotype stems primarily from these two regions. People in the South have options (South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia). The East has Kenya and Tanzania. Geography plays a role of course. The ball is purely in Europes court, if they want to they can stop this by simply saying NO and if need be repatriating these individuals by force. Of course that wont look pretty >_>

Yes, I do. Several African countries have done it after all.

Contrary to what many believe Africa isn't really that poor. A lot of countries there are doing fairly decent and are growing by 5%+ year on year. Countries like South Africa, Gabon, Equitorial Guinea aren't that bad.

Uh... China's population below poverty is 5%. lol

It's unfortunate, but these people notice that European countries' allow very easy terms for non-natives (whether that be refugees who need it or people who abuse the system) and thus go there to live an easier life. The net effect is a weakening society because these people have kids (usually at a higher rate than the natives) that sometimes carry on this careless mindset due to the environment they were raised in.

The biggest problem with Africa is, the resources it has that could bring in money and help build structure, the industries that could make huge change, all belong to non Africans. Coco, tea, and hundreds of other exports are all ran by and owned by rich western companies and non of them give back.

Secondly, the humans that are so great, civilised and about justice and peace, I.e. Our great leaders, they don't care about dictators in African countries unless it is a threat to Israel or it may affect their trading (Egypt for example).

So we pillage the continent, we use it and abuse it, we turn a blind eye to the dictators and violent extremists and then we expect what exactly?!

The issue is the world is largely ran by selfish people. They won't help another country unless there is something in it for them, be it oil or gold etc. Humans do not work together as a unit, at least not decision makers. They work as gangs and clicks and unless you have something to offer them they will either rob you or beat you.

As people have said there is no real solution to this because those who can are doing nothing and at the same time you cant turn people away who are fighting life and death.

If people really care, there would be far more genuine efforts in creating solutions than there is of blaming refugees and immigrants. Blaming the people caught in the crossfire is essentially a cop out.

This is a class example of why Africa is the way it is:

Whoop, my country representin <_<! Always showing the poorer parts though >_>. Over the last few years we've been leaning heavily pro China because of crap like this. Hell, a Chinese contractor is constructing a four lane highway a few hundred meters away from me as I type. Ive always wondered why Western contrators have so few commercial activities here, its probably for the best.

Wtf are you talking about? Majority of those people are doctors?? Are you mad? Majority of them are young illiterate males and 90% of those will nevet have job other then drug dealing. Free money is exactly what they are here for. State gives them a place to live and a pay check for food, that is all they want. I know families who are living from social support money for two generations allready and they have no intention to work. All they do is making children...
