Oh please. The problems! Belgium can handle much more then we're handling now. Incidents with immigrants haven't been severe except for some brawls between immigrants in migration centra, which was mainly due to poor conditions. The consequences will be that the nationalists will have to accept that our society, which is now more then ever (and always has been) multi-cultural, will become more cosmopolitan.

We could build walls, but when did that ever work? I stand by my point. Or we accept them, or aid in their own regions or we'll have to withdraw from the Human Rights declaration.

Spoiler alert: the last one ain't happening.

You mean the terrorist attacks commited by 2nd generation immigrants who were born in ghettos never happened? Nationalism is bad? Multi-culturalism is good? How about you back this up and tell me how multi-culturalism has worked.

Merkel said this a few years ago, and only now changes her mind. Guess she really wants the nobel peace prize...

Nationalism is not only bad, it's completely useless. I don't engage in imagined communities. As for the attacks by 2nd generation immigrants. These are very reflective for a society which has failed on multiple fronts to provide a state which truly gives people equal rights and equal chances. Our government should have invested in these people decades ago, but even now, their only awnser to the social problems is sending in more police.

But all things considered, things are mostly quiet. Our biggest problem is our government filled with right wing a*holes, who have caused a lot of damage for the poorer and lower middle-class.

Merkel accepted a lot of immagrants under impulse from German industry and business because they need cheap-labour. She didn't do it because she suddenly grew a conscience.
