You know what a real disaster is...that those countries mainly responsible for the wars causing the refugees are so hesitant taking them in. It's a shame the U.S., U.K. and Canada above all derange everything and don't want to be held responsible afterwards. I'm proud that my country reacted as it did. Me and my family even help refugees almost every day. The message it sent to the wrong people is surely questionable and has been corrected since, I still think showing a heart is the better solution that spreading hate most of the times. |
Not wanting uncontrolled immigration into our nation is not hate, it is a logical expectation of a country with national sovereignty.
Imo most people do think you guys did a good thing in principle, but the manner it as done did a lot more harm than good in shaping refugee policy in the Western World...Frankly, I think in the next wave, I doubt the German government or EU nations will open their arms at all or much and the 2015 experience is a direct cause of that.
Scenes of mass floods of people, New Years Sex assaults and all that imo sort of soured public Opinion in many other nations towards refugees.
I be honest in Sept 2015, I was like wow so much compassion but seeing what happened afterward hardened my opinions.
Here in Canada due to what Happened in Germany, the government had to pretty much assure the public that:
-Refugees were being pre-screened and that security was number one concern
- Focus on real refugees from Syria and not economic migrants...
- Focus on people in families, as lone males were banned as refugees into the nation.
- Bringing in a manageable number over a period of time.
I think imo a sensible policy serves the nation and helps refugees most..
