Rania's odyssey (2017): A 20 year old Syrian refugee Vlogs as she flees her town of Kobane with thousands of others, crosses the Med on an overstuffed boat, gets teargassed, as others carry those who can't walk between them. An interesting look at the refugee's journey.

I think people should respect the law. And not lie, or go somewhere under false pretenses.

It doesn't matter what my or your or anyone else's stance is. The fact is that by the time she reaches safety in a neighboring country, she is not a refugee anymore and has no right for asylum in Europe or anywhere else. You can have all the empathy or pity in the world for her ordeal. That doesn't make her a refugee.

And it doesn't matter what I think. There are laws, they're there for a reason, and they are to be respected. If you don't agree with those laws then campaign to change them. That is your right. But you simply cannot just break any law you disagree with.

That said. No. If it were up to me I think refugees should stay in safe zones and internationally funded camps inside their home or neighboring countries and just not go to Europe at all, no matter where.

Also, why do you think a country like Sweden, who has never meddled in the Middle East, never done anything to deserve those millions of refugees, should shell out billions of Euros for them to eventually just form parallel societies anyway? What has Sweden ever done to deserve to be burdened with that?
