oh, its another one of the "why didn't they stay in their cozy refugee-camps in lebanon!?"-threads. Is it the third or fourth this day?
Now with the twist that all of the refugees came only because A. Merkel has promised them a better life, and the other countries are steaming that Germany doesn't want to take all refugees in.
Hi, welcome to the EU. Its a community. Who only wants to pick the cherries might consider leaving.
*looks back down*

They are not going to take jobs because there are no jobs to take. You know what I honestly believe? I think people who think like you are seriously mentally ill.
And when I say that, I am not trying to be a jerk either. I just honestly believe that people like you desperately need help. ~$heopleNation

Nah, ForteanOrg is just using the 'you are scared' line because as a national of the Netherlands he/she realises there is # all they can do about it because his/her country is a minor player in the EU with little influence.
The UK however has full legal control of its border and can simply decline the 'refugee shared around the EU scheme' if it feels it is a stupid idea. It has.
I am happy to say that is not the case in the UK. The majority government here is far from socialist, even though 56 out of 59 MP's in Scotland are left wing SNP.

Scottish MP's are irrelevant to the current UK government though so it matters not lol.
Agreed.

Well then I would say the UK will fare better than the rest of Europe. The rest of Europe isn't prepared for what's to happen.

Or should we just let these people in and allow the hatred they cause...
Yes, we should let them in. Actually, we're doing just that. And they do not cause hatred - hatred is mostly caused by folks that wouldn't touch a foreigner with a ten foot pole for fear of being turned into a radical terrorist.
Instead of being afraid of them - offer them a warm welcome. Help them as much as you can. Allow them, even stimulate them to stay, to work here, to create their own businesses, to pay taxes and contribute to OUR way of life. Allow them to blend in, to add to the mix.
Again: even if all Syrians came to live here, they would just be a measly 4 percent of the population. So, what's there to fear - but fear itself?
