It's because people are like sheep. If someone says that the grass is greener over there, then that's where the sheep will go. Simple.
It's ok until the native sheep complain that their grass is all gone. |

^^^ yep but makes me fume how the media ignoring the fact that most of these "desperate" people are coming from Turkey...in no danger whatsoever and could carry on with a life there!

Totally agree with the OP and have been saying the same (much to the disgust of others), they where being sent money from a relative in Canada as well. The father decided to board one of those rafts to go to Kos with the plan of traveling all the way to Canada, why was he putting his wife and kids at risk with this bizarre idea of getting to a country they had already been denied asylum??

Because the promise of an open door policy (in Germany) was being dangled in front of them, a hysteria has gripped these people via the internet / word of mouth. It's quite obvious why things have kicked off, if you stand back and look at it.

They don't stay in Turkey because they're not welcome, they don't get the same access and opportunities to employment/education, Turkey can take years to process refugee's no thanks to the nationalism the politicians are always fronting, only illegal work is available, Europe treats them like humans.

By:
I thought these people were refugees fleeing for their lives scandinavian? You make it seem like the world is just various types of Holiday Camp with Turkey being Pontins and Europe being Butlins. If you aren't in immediate danger then surely that is the safe haven you have craved?

By:
Was saying to the other half earlier that surely the people were refugees when entering Turkey.When they set sail in whatever craft to reach Greece they surely become econmic migrants.

By:
yes but in their own country (syria libya iraq etc) they dont treat themselves as humans ie sunil hate shia and vice versa
wtf are they over here for they aint going to change ask the 1400 victims in rotherham (tens of thousands elsewhere) they aint western and they NEVER will be try and build a church in mecca saudi arabia and you will get what i mean |

230 thousand so the bbc say have said let more refugEes in but they didnt say that 55 million of us have said fkall
so we are democracy where majority rules thats says to me WE DONT WANT ANY REFUGEES |
|
By:
because it is utter nonsense
|
|
By:
I don't think searching for legal status, an education, lawful employment whilst being treating like a leper as searching for a holiday camp. Life for refugees in Turkey is almost worthless compared to Europe.

By:
Just as well we haven't admitted Turkey to the EU or they would be all over Europe unless Brussels instructed the turks to play fair ???

By:
the 230k who say yes can take them into their houses gardens garages etc under these terms and conditions
you are responsible for them you are their guarantor you are liable for all costs everything that includes benefits any fines that they get any prison sentences they get you pay any nhs doctors fees you pay basically you are their parents YOU TAKE THE ENTIRE COST if you want to claim anything back then take up each case with the EU, THE ARAB LEAGUE,THE UN, not fkin us as we want fkall to do with them as they HATE US |

You make no sense despite the evidence being all around you. Look at the people clamouring to get onto the trains of Hungary, Austria and other countries to move to other countries in Europe. Does it then go from comparisons between holiday camps to a veritable pick n mix? If you're as thick as two short planks then you can be excused but assuming you aren't then please, no more lies and propaganda. England is vastly overpopulated in comparison to our comparable neighbours like France. Hardly anybody wants "asylum" in warm countries like Spain and Portugal. I don't blame them for wanting to create a better life for themselves and I'm certainly not one of the, "they are coming for the benefits" merchants. I believe these people want to work and create a better life for themselves and I applaud them for that but we have to have control of our immigration and borders. Especially as net immigration ratchets ever higher. |

I'm not sure which part you don't understand or what you're misunderstanding but it's simple stuff, they prefer 'certain' European countries if you like because they are better off in welcoming countries like Sweden or Germany than in Turkey where as previously said, it's much harder to gain refugee status and a better life for their family, Turkey is merely a transit nation. My main point was answering the question as to why they leave Turkey, why they are leaving countries like Hungry and Austria is a different one but not far off the same reasons, they are not welcome there either.

EU in a right mess now and its not going to be pretty at all. Talk of quotas is an absolute joke. Say you're a refugee and you get "allocated" to one of the Baltic states or Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria et al and you get your papers..yep, you're really going to stay there.
Schengen then does its natural work.... |

Amazing how "Merkel" is suddenley a saint and that Germany is"leading" Europe..lets see, who were the only countries to admit Eastern European workers in 2004 when the AAscession countries joined the EU..hmm..it seems to be the UK, Ireland and Sweden...... Germany took a "Holiday"
"but Germany have taken in far more migrants and refugees than us" ?? bit strange that Germany, at the end of 2013 had 2 million less in its population from the year 2000, and the UK appears to grown by 6 million..more than the last 40 years combined. im sure someone can explain that |

zilzal1 I brought that up months ago. Once one country gives any of them full validity as EU citizens, it doesn't matter where they go in the short term, they'll go where they want.
Like all of you I've a lot of sympathy for the normal people caught up in a nightmare but I fear this is going to end very badly once the self righteousness rubbish wears off, and the self righteousness rubbish is off the scale now. We should stop fighting assad, he's a dictator but it's quite obvious letting these countries collapse into weak tribal warfare isn't the answer. Thats why all the bordering countries are a mess. Get rid of him and what, we've another failed state, a Libya Mk I and IS just move in? So, get a ceasefire in Syria which just seems to be a war of attrition, then we stop p1ssing around and deal with the murdering nutcases, that's dragged on far too long. All this ignoring the actual source of the problems is frustrating. It's like we're in 1939 and wringing our hands about Poland but not even discussing how to deal with Hitler. |
