Most fleeing to Europe are ‘not refugees’, EU official says: Dutch commissioner Frans Timmermans says 60% of arrivals are economic migrants

Yeah, for real. Like the hundreds of thousands of greedy and lazy people that are emigrating into western europe because it condones their ridiculous violence and covers it up. Taking advantage of a system is greedy and lazy. God forbid somebody have a bad opinion about the migrants.

"The German Federal Office of Criminal Investigation (BKA) announced that crimes committed by refugees stood at the same level as those committed by native Germans. These findings are the result of an initial evaluation conducted by the BKA in cooperation with all federal states and commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior."

Now that doesn't mean the refugees are bad. But it does mean that welcoming anybody with open arms is fucking stupid, and in order to gain entrance to a country you should, like was discussed above, assimilate with that country's culture and values. If you're unwilling to do that then you suffer the consequences, regardless of how unfair it seems. Letting anybody with any kind of potentially extremely destructive values and understandings of cultural norms (or even worse, people who understand cultural norms completely and are taking advantage of them) stroll into a country is how you flush a country down the shitter.

Fuck no, turning people away because they are different and might be dangerous is goddamn xenophobia and fear mongering dressed as a reasonable concern.

Unfortunately not everybody is as friendly as we'd sometimes like to believe, and the world has a habit of being real sometimes. Certain demographics are and always will be worse off than others.

Yeah actually, most people just want to live in peace and not be fucked with, and you'll find this is universal.

No, the refugees are not coming to take yer jerbs. No, Europe is not going to collapse in Sharia law. No, Europe is not taking the brunt of the crisis. No, the refugees are not appreciably increasing the crime rates, and even if they were it's a discussion of acceptable tradeoffs.

You're spouting BS right-wing talking points, without actually acknowledging that these filthy proles you so callously dismiss as "different and dangerous" are people who need help.
