I suppose you would have no trouble contributing in a country where you might not even know the alphabet, let alone the language. They aren't causing a mess, at least directly. There two things that could be called 'a mess': Goverment reactions, and the reactions of people. The first is because the goverments don't know what to do about the situation, and the latter is because everyone's screaming in panic and not assessing the situation in a rational fashion. Again, there are troublemakers, but they're a minority.

So how about they learn the lanuage, assimilate, and respect that country's value's? Oh wait... that's "unfair".

I'm pretty sure learning a new language is difficult even under better circumstances. It takes time, but refugees do often learn the new language. And yes, they also often contribute to the society they're integrating into. I also haven't heard too much about your 'unfair' argument. I see your views are quite black and white, and you're trying your best to exaggerate things. I don't think that's very helpful in solving any problems. Quite the contrary, it often makes solving problems much, much harder.

 

I'm not saying that we shouldn't help these people, but the way it is conducted is bound to be a disaster. You can't bring in millions of people at a time! Many of these aren't going to care about what they do as long as they get help! Facts are facts, these people aren't use to the western world, and they aren't integrating. Unless they can do that, I don't want them coming over.
