Refugees

Australia has increasing unemployment heading towards recession, turning into a welfare state......

But seems were going to take 20,000 Syrians and those who legitimately want to immigrate to Australia for various reasons cant do so, but guess we will have to spread out to all country until its settled or just stop the war and let them sort it out themselves, not sure that right solution either.

question why are they all seemingly heading to Germany are they the easiest destination but you just have to get there and once your in your in type thing

That "region" of the world has been unstable for as long as I can remember and as a child feared it was going to be WWIII. Fast forward 4 decades and its still a basketcase. Why, regional strife or International meddling? Likely some of both.

My opinion, it will never be resolved by outside forces, regardless of the cause. If it regional strife, that will always exist. If its International meddling, spending a decade there until it looks stable, install a puppet government, then after leaving things revert back to "normal". Maybe a complete invasion and occupation is the only way, oh pardon me, that would be our way.

Some of them just keep getting "reasons" to hate us. Put yourself in their shoes. Countless lost family lives with decades of instability.

Just rambling, I don't know how to fix it, that's why I grow food.

Europe is committing cultural suicide by accepting droves of Muddle East immigrants; most of whom have NO intention of assimilating; rather, their focus is on creating cultural enclaves, within which they will send money back home, adapting to their role as economic immigrants. Their main purpose is to spread their faith.

I have kids so yes I have skin in the game, breadwinner!

Its a terrible thing to watch. And who should take responsibility? We ve meddled there for ever and have really accomplished nothing good and never will until we go there for the people and not for money.

my main regional centre 48kms away possibly 8 maybe 10,000 have a real cultural "pot" chinese,kiwis,sudanese,vietmanise local indigenous us caucasions,south Africans,pakistani, the odd middle eastern,a few Europeans and poms we all get on ok so not against it at all.

But genuine people wanting to resettle here have to wait along time have a very good English Friend and his german wife they had to wait for three years and numerous hoops to jump through but they were granted entry eventually and it cost them a pretty penny and they had to have full time employement before entry, have two children born in australia so are productive and adding to the country as do all those above.

But some asslymum seeker a few years down the track are often on the wrong side of the law and get off when in trouble because of there status.

But as I said we will take them but when and how do you draw the line.

Some of my scandanavian friends Sweden and Denmark have said enough is enough and there politicians listen to them maybe there more patriotic,maybe that isn't the word but they look after there own first. Nationalistic may be a better term

Hamlock. President Obama is NOT the head of NATO. Jens Stoltenberg of Norway is the Secretary General of NATO.
Second, NATO has never been involved in the fight against ISIS. Some member countries like the US, Britain, France, and Canada are but they are doing so NOT as part of a NATO mission. Some NATO member countries like Turkey who are even closer to the fight are not involved.

I fear that Islam has world domination as its objective and the refugees are the means to invade without use of military. They believe death is a passport to heaven for believers and not to be feared.
It is a large emigration without needing acceptance by the accepting countries.
We may weep for the two year old while they praise him for opening the doors.

Dml you are correct what I meant to say was the coalition against Isil is led by the US. In a May 26 press release Jens Stoltenberg after a meeting with Peesident Obama said that all NATO member counties were contributing to the US led coalition. The tone of his remarks show NATO support for what is being done. I appreciate you correcting me
