As xenophobic a newspaper as you'll find anywhere.

Largest amount of refugees since WW2 in Europe
by Powermetal4ever inso i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.
so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

So quotas should be applied by the UN to every safe country on earth, from New Zealand to Malaysia to Uganda to Brazil to Fiji.
That way, the refugees will find safety.
Without any one country buckling under the tide.
What do you think?Sounds like a good plan to me. However till it is agreed and able to be implemented the day to day reality is that it's a problem now that the Europeans have to deal with till a better system can be agreed.

"The 1951 Refugee Convention spells out that a refugee is someone who "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country."
I think you will find that those fleeing Syria and Eritrea are refugee's. Many of them having to leave because they are Christians for instance.
Migrants, especially economic migrants, choose to move in order to improve the future prospects of themselves and their families. Refugees have to move if they are to save their lives or preserve their freedom. They have no protection from their own state - indeed it is often their own government that is threatening to persecute them. If other countries do not let them in, and do not help them once they are in, then they may be condemning them to death - or to an intolerable life in the shadows, without sustenance and without rights.
and that my friend is what some European countries have been and are doing. Shame on them and shame on those of you who try to justify it with your comments which frankly to me come across as being racist.

Same has happened here in Ireland today OrphanCrow having followed this Icelandic initiative.
Many like ourselves have pledged a room in a our house, provided in my case that our landlord doesn't object (he's pretty cool so I'd suspect he'd offer one of his own rooms too).
Problem is our government to date insists on all asylum seekers going into centres that are cramped and horrible where they will wait for 6/7/8 years to get processed, in the meantime unable to legally work. I'm hoping one of the things this crisis will do is quicken the asylum seeking process. Though we are talking about Irish governments. *sigh*

Funnily enough though kaik two of the three countries that Merkel recently criticised for not taking their fair share of refugee's in this crisis, Ireland and the UK, both announced today they will be taking more.
So it would seem there is a need. Look people don't risk there lives travelling seas in overcrowded leaking boats unless they are desperate. They just don't so stop saying this is about immigration when it is clearly about refugee's
Not sure if this has been posted here already but watch/read it and tell me this isn't about refugee's desperate to escape. : Desperate crossing

I suspect that the majority of the UK population don't want to take more refugees/migrants. Still, why let democracy get in the way, eh?
I'm not in the UK so can't speak for them but the Irish especially with our history of forced emigration when we had to flee the famine to the US because Europe's borders were closed to us should be a kick up our holes to do something and help.
I often think of the Choctaw Indians who, only 16 years after there own trail of tears and in the midst of their own poverty, raised money to provide famine relief in Ireland. We still owe them a moral debt that can only be discharged by our own humanitarian action towards others in need.
It's alright if you don't feel that need or compulsion to help. You're not in a minority.
