And 5% of 1.3 billion is more than many countries population.I agree that I have given a wrong number, but that dosent change the fact that China has alot of poor people.

"We shouldn't encourage them from coming in the first place!" is a grammatically nonsensical sentence.

OT: The biggest problem with all immigration questions is that no matter what solution we choose, from the ones already on the table, the global economical structure will not change. If poor regions of the world had a chance to develop their own infrastructure, political stability and economical base, we could change the outlook by not relying on (essentially) three power centers in the world; Northern-and Western Europe, North-America and Northern-and Eastern Asia. Instead, we colonized and then removed the troops but installed governing bodies, created influx economies made to feed our own and keep their down and constantly insist or "intervening" and proposing western solutions to non-west problems, we create and sign international mandates and decrees that others should adopt and follow our own systems and we build a relation where one party becomes perpetually dependent both physically and mentally through hand-out's and charity. We do the same with the poor in our own countries, only on a smaller scale.

Bottom line; the developing world needs to be allowed to actually develop, without our constant and belittling meddling, we are causing even more strife and disagreement and doing society a huge disservice, from parlament to farmer and industry.

" AFRICA IS A CONTINENT. IT HAS CLOSE TO NO RESOURCES"

i haven't read something that ignorant in a long long time lol

Like my country Brazil. India and China have a lot of Land Territory and the territory is fertile, In those countries you throw a seed onto the ground and it grow alone, in Africa is very harsh to make resources, and the European countries took a lot of Diamonds from Africa, The Diamond that the Queen of England uses (i think that is the biggest one in the world) came from Africa.

What is the problem with this thread ? "A Lot" is open to  a lot of meanings and does not means Majority, but people who came from Haiti to my country majority are Doctors or atleast have University Degree.

I Was not refering to the Africa when i said majority, but of course there are doctors amoung those people.

what always seems to be overlooked in these discussions is that the reason these people are running north to begin with is because their homes are being destroyed by the western governments...

so its kind of dumb to say they have to fix the problems in their country when your own country keeps jumping in and dropping bombs on them

the thing is that at this point the problem has progressed too far and as a result because of the apathy of the citizens of the western countries like those of Europe the problems your governments are causing for other people are now coming back to bite you ironically

what i don't get is how people could not see this coming... you really thought that this could just continue indefinitely without some kind of reaction or some type of action on their part to preserve their lives?

Oh they have seen it coming allright, lol. The ones that are droping bombs are United States of America and they do not suffer frome this migrant crysis one bit. They only keep talking big about human rights but we are yet to see them taking in some of those refugees :)

Love how you pick on two of the most corrupt, poor and disfunctional countries in the continent (Congo and Zimbabwe) then make that ridiculous blanket statement. As if judging the whole ofEurope based on Greece and Spain would make any sense.

India has more poor people than the whole of Sub Saharan Africa combined. Ive heard more than one horror story about the worse of parts of the country from several friends. Not to crap on India but to show how skewed and biased your perceptions are. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jul/14/poverty-india-africa-oxford

As I said, it has resources, but nothing for Africans themselves to use.

Many of their resources are owned by non-africans. Uranium, coco, nickel, platinum, and so on. Most companies obtained them before most Africans could.
