They have taken millions, they cannot take anymore.

Italy and Greece especially should be tired of the waves of immigrants, they're bearing the brunt of it.


I am confident that the Greek people will survive the migrant crisis,
Considering they survived Ottoman rule, and not having an independent country for centuries.
In fact I beleive when Greece gained independence from the ottomans they had not been independent since the fall of Byzantine.

I think that is stupid way to request asylum. One should be able to request asylum in their home nation either through a NGO or an embassy of the nation they are applying to.

That’s how the US and Australia do it. I see no reason why the EU can’t, unless they want to have an excuse to keep them from ever gaining asylum

"Getting to Europe and then applying for asylum is the legal method."

lol, and that is also the cause of the problem, it needs to end, At least Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary is trying to change it, asylum, refugee whatever, no one has the right to emigrate illegally to another nation and say surprise i'm here now you have to make me legal, I sent my kid first now you have to make us legal, I had a kid in Italy now he is italian and I am too, you have to make me legal, so where is my million dollars that I am demanding? Even Mexico deports illegal immigrants, even Mexico deports illegal immigrants, legal immigration is legal immigration, illegal immigration is illegal immigration and should not be tolerated, it is that easy and it really is that easy, I support the Great Wall of Trump, but we dont need the The Great Wall of Trump, just dont tolerate illegal immigration, it is that easy, and it really is that easy, I agree with Thermy.

While nations such as Italy and Greece are overwhelmed by migrants, other nations such as Hungary completely or almost completely close their borders to migrants. (sigh)

It is patently stupid to have a system that requires people fleeing danger to wait patiently in danger while their application for asylum is reviewed. The only sensible thing to do is to let people request asylum when they get to Italy, or Greece, or wherever.

What if we build a safe area on the border where asylum seekers and refugees can stay while they wait for the system to let them in, it would raise taxes but keep the morality of the nation intact without endangering the citizenry.

I say we turn a few islands into international refugee camps. That way nobody has to worry about a refugee invasion and the bleeding hearts get to feel happy that nobody has died

I don't see what's better about that. The first "safe" nation might well be the kind of shithole that keeps children in concentration camps. It's not realistic to expect people to stay there and submit themselves to a government like that if there's a better alternative a little further away, and refoulement on that basis alone would be ridiculous.
or we take over Bermuda and make it an international refugee camp

What? Why?

while refugees are a slice of the immigrants in mediterranean, so that it wouldn t cause a great matter to adress, for most part of them the line between simple immigration and decent living seekers is foggy.

most part don t flee a slaughter attempt, still they flee a quite certainly harsh and submitted life.

that is why you should see the request, not between nations, even between cities, conditions. and this makes the thing difficult.

the adress of the matter would be a great work of preparation.
and also going to the africa coast either with few boots either with local allies, Un and Eu. still doing this badly would even worsen things

approach discussed in thread may even be a good base to see the thing in carabbean, for few i know about. nevertheless, the mediterranean scenario is such, that concepts used in the posts are useless.

so to adrees real life, in mediterranean, we would even need different ideas (from the ideas showed in the posts) just to merely read what is actually happening.

Tfw giving refugees a safe area to flee to that has better conditions than what they’re fleeing from while they wait to be processed is negative.

That is a silly way to put it.
You secure a partition where targets of persecution can be vetted and and cared for without unfairly impacting a host nations security or infrastructure.
It has been done in Africa to some good effect often enough. More importantly, refugees dont whittle themselves down by attrition trekking across a continent with little or no resources and a limited ability to survive the vagaries of climate and environment that change as they progress.
I have seen that in Africa too.
Some of you may be familiar with the lost children of Sudan.

In any event, the refugee crisis from the middle east has been handled irresponsibly in the extreme, and worst of all, for the sake of political narratives.
