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. 

I'm glad to know you know the personal circumstances of every one of these people who are desperate enough to get on a boat to take a journey that has a good chance of ending with them at the bottom of the mediterranean. Perhaps you should go and work at the UNHCR and you can decide on people's refugee status by simply having a quick look at them.
