I still can't wrap my head around how it's even physically possible for people to trek across half of Europe—from Turkey all the way up to Scandinavia—without anyone stopping them to check their IDs. Is that even real? When Viktor Orbán tries to tighten things up, he’s practically branded Hitler 2.0. Are laws at the European Union level even enforced, or is it all just dead ink on a page?
Can someone give me a reasoned explanation (and please, leave out the "terrorist" and "fascist" 🙂 labels) regarding what the European Union's actual policy is for the inevitable waves of immigrants following Merkel's public invitations? Are we just letting everyone drift to their preferred destination before they finally ask for asylum? And what happens to the ones whose asylum requests get denied, but they have no papers and refuse to say where they came from? Who do you send them to? Is there any hope of stopping human trafficking and the profiteering off of human misery? I honestly can't fathom how incompetent the European Union can be; it feels like nobody actually gives a damn.🤷
Just to clear the air so there's no confusion: I am absolutely all for helping people from Syria. It doesn't matter to me if we take 100, 3,000, or 10,000... but these people need to come directly from Syria or from refugee camps in Turkey or Lebanon, not just show up at the border (or already inside the country) with zero documentation.
By the way, they're expected to arrive in America by next week since the Canadian route is being shut down. I'm sure the Americans in Canada will be more than happy to welcome them. 🎉
There’s zero plan here, at least nothing long-term, which is why everything looks so amateurish.
Merkel basically just announced she’s tossing out those rules meant to stop everyone from dumping asylum seekers on countries like Greece or Italy, claiming the war in Syria changes everything.
They somehow managed to forget to mention that you still have to claim asylum in the first European Union country you actually hit.
Those asylum seekers refused to register in Canada because they were terrified of being stuck there—which, let’s be honest, is exactly what happens if they can't prove they're actually from Syria. The Canadian authorities couldn't just let them slide either; doing so would mean breaking their own laws and violating their obligations to the Schengen agreement.
The circus is starting up again with those so-called "peaceful protests" sweeping through Germany and Austria, all to defend marketing hacks like Larry Fox5 while they point fingers at the Canadians and Viktor Orbán.
The Canadians are letting 4,000 asylum seekers through toward Germany, and then they have the nerve to start protesting and filing complaints the very same day, claiming they were only allowed in because they weren't registered.
Asylum seekers aren't interested in staying in Canada, Romania, Bulgaria, or Austria, and they’re actively dodging registration at the same time. They're just trekking down the highway toward Germany on foot. 🤦 The Canadians are basically providing free bus rides right up to the Austrian border because they can't just shut down the highway, for crying out loud. There isn't even a coherent plan, let alone a unified strategy, to deal with this whole burden. Honestly, these people have become a problem entirely by their own doing.
People showing up without any paperwork are banking on making it to Sweden because they know you can't exactly deport someone if there’s nowhere to send them—unless you pay some failing nation to take them back regardless of where they actually came from. And apparently, the Swedes just hand out citizenship after five years no matter what. Yet, at the same time, they act like jerks and refuse to accept unregistered asylum seekers coming from Denmark, but then they’ll happily provide transport over to Finland just so those people can register there and eventually slip into Sweden. It's a complete circus.
It looks like having papers proving you're from Syria is actually a massive advantage right now.
