Well, you see alot of refugees aren't really desperate, they come to Europe for two reasons.

1) As part of the muslim conspiracy to conquer Sweden through immigration and out-breeding.

2) Because they're lazy and don't want to work.

Because they know which countries are run by Xenophobic asshats and which are not, its not the 1920's anymore. Stuff like statistics about asylum grants as well statements by leading politicians are not hard to come by online. Not to mention a Smartphone will not cost you 500 dollars in lebanon.


With all that in mind, would you risk applying for asylum in Viktor "Defending Christianity" Orban's Hungary or in Sweden after coming so far and selling everything you owned back in your home country? I know I wouldn't. Ofcourse that wont stop some posters from trying to frame it as if they only were after a welfare check.

This does not mean that Sweden or Germany or whathave you can or should take in everyone while the rest of the EU sit and watch, we are all in this together and all countries should abide by the same standards when it comes to asylum grants etc.

Having 80% of Syrian asylum applications rejected in Hungary while the exact opposite occurs in Sweden is a sign of how hosed up Hungary is.

I have no loving clue, and I really don't give a poo poo, I'm not Swedish. If you want some statistics, look them up yourself. Your the one who's been throwing around accusations, so it's your job to back them up. So far, you'v been completely unable to do so for any of your crazy statements, so I don't have high hopes.

Anyway, most countries have laws against lying about your identity/origin when applying for asylum/residency, and the punishment is usually deportation.

quote:

You can demand something that you have right to. As a citizen of Estonia I can demand many things from my fellow countrymen and the government, but when I go to Sweden, I couldn't, because I have neither the moral nor the legal right to do so. I'm not Swedish, I don't have family there, my tax money hasn't gone to support and expand the country and the welfare of its people. I don't expect anything, I don't take anything for granted, and if I'm given something, I'm grateful.

How's that for basic human decency?
If a country willingly accepts refugees (as in, people who have lost everything, including their loving homeland), they should be able to provide them with a adequate accommodations. The idea that they should have beg for access to basic facilities is absolutely disgusting.

I don't get why some people are getting so worked up over the fact that refugees are seeking out the countries that are more likely to accept them and provide them with the means to start a new life. It's obviously the smartest and most sensible thing for them to do. They have nothing, so they'll need all the help they can get to get back on their feet.

Likely sometime in 2010, when Hedegaard lied his way out of a conviction by claiming that he wasn't aware that a video interview, in English, for Gates of Vienna would be made public, even though the interviewer claimed different and had e-mails to support that claim. In it he claimed that Muslims as a matter of course raped their own children, and that politicians who "collaborated with the enemy" might be executed after a popular revolt. Which is funny, because Khader used the exact same interview as grounds for quitting the Free Press Society, of which Hedegaard was chairman at the time.

Khader has totally lost his marbles since New Alliance was hijacked and turned into Liberal Alliance, back then he wanted to establish a counterweight to the Danish People's Party, now he's batting for people who excuse violence against hijabis like his own goddamn mother. Zornig earns the label for being guilty of the crime of helping a refugee family. He's a piece of poo poo. Full stop.

How do you arrive at that conclusion? :psyduck:

In other news, the government is plundering SJ and Akademiska Hus to fill holes in their budget (which btw is based on the summers migration prognosis, next is due in a few weeks). Akademiska Hus is interesting because it is literally the state taking back money it says it have given to science, as anyone who have worked in academia knows.
Also, MigV is investigating whether it is feasible to build an actual refugee camp in Rinkaby, an old military exercise field. Here's hoping for a mild winter. I have been on that exact place when it was -20C.

I think we used that spot after WW2 for storing people running away from the Baltic states and Soviet. Those people we later deported back to Soviet.

The good thing about a refugee camp in Rinkaby is that we will get a worse reputation and probably lower levels of immigrants.
The bad things are obvious. The budget of the municipality will be hosed, as well as the schools unless new procedures are applied. You don't dump 10k people into a 40k municipality without drastics consequences.
Malmö which is a bigger city have already said that for the next years they are forced to only build schools just in order to keep up with the inflow (as reported in Sydsvenskan). Anything else is out of the budget.

I was thinking that it probably also has something to do with the US not really minding IS giving it to Assad, and that they're hoping Russia might expend some of their military might getting bogged down helping him out. I mean, they otherwise seem perfectly happy to spend tax payer dollars and lives fighting in the middle east, so either this area is not all that important to them or they've got something to gain by letting things go on. I'm no expert, but people seem to be clamoring for IS to get hosed over, and nobody seems to care that much about continued drone strikes or whatnot, so how negative could public opinion of more involvement be?

I think one of the main reasons the US hasn't taken any direct, troops on the ground type, action against IS is because they haven't attacked the US mainland. Al-Queda attacked the US military openly when they bombed the USS Cole in Yemen but the US wasn't interested in attacking them, probably because they'd be forced to declear war on Sudan and Afghanistan and break a ton of international laws in the process. It wasn't until 9/11 and the public outcry forced their hand and they had to take action that they actually started thinking about putting boots on the ground but even then they were hesitant and they probably let Bin Laden get away at the start of the war because they relied on local militia to try and capture him. A strategy that they're still employing in Syria because it makes it look like they care while at the same time they can also wash their hands of any failures or wrong doing that it eventually leads to.

And even if the public wants their politicians to take action against IS, theres almost no success stories of international intervention working in recent years. Afghanistan is a mess and the Taliban are resurging. Libya isn't looking much better and Iraq is it's own story. Not to mention that US/international intervention in the middle east is what led to the creation of IS and I can't see any politician going back in to try and right the wrongs of the past with that knowledge hanging over their head.

As to letting Russia do some work, you're probably right. It's a win/win for the US in the same way that letting Turkey bomb both IS and the Kurds is.

I don't think the thread natives can read our "Immigrant" language.

TLDR: The refugees in my town are protesting over the inedible bland POS "food" we are giving them and demand real food.

On one hand I agree with them. It is inedible bland POS food. On the other hand, It is literally the same food our school children (age 7-18) eat for lunch.
Cost of the ingredients is up to 72 cents per plate.

To call the bland and barely edible swill served at the average school cafeteria food is an insult to the over 10 000 years of culinary development that mankind has gone through. Kids only eat it because a: It's only 1 of their third meals a day and b: Because they unlike adults cannot protest.
