Pull up the drawbridges. Anything else and the North will be swarmed by the South, not helping the South while destroying the Northern golden goose.

I was a refugee and it's simple: 1. stop exporting weapons, invest in diplomacy; 2. stop exploitative trade agreements let countries keep their own profit; 3. stop polluting; 4. invest in education, public services, infrastructure; 5. combat tax fraud & corruption

And, the prediction of more droughts and famine in the future because of climate change - also will cause more mass migrations. THis has been studied by the UN and the US military. We are not prepared.

Now isn't that obvious? Abolish wars. Example African migrants on boats is due to no adequate governance for border controls in Libya due to War. Militia take money to put people on boats to fund their weapons procurement. Why? = War.

Well certainly not by letting them all come and live in Europe We need to build a fortress and keep them all out

The question is how many of them are economic (welfare) migrants?

Call some of them what they are. Invaders. Ask Germany.

Simple...send them back home...prob solved

Could the chart giving the "number of refugees resettled elsewhere in the rich world" be clarified ? 3005 resettled in Germany doesn't make sense to me.

If you close your border there will be no refugee problem ;) #ita #hungria
