Europe should just follow Australia's lead and send them all to offshore processing centres until the real refugees can be separated from the economic migrants.

If you arrive by plane there's a bunch of bureaucrsts who assess your claim on its merits. If you arrive by boat it's straight to hell, you will not be settled in Australia even if you had your dick chopped off and 'you will die if we see you again' branded on your scrotum.

The system works too. A "bad" reputation is exactly what you want so it filters back to wherever the economic migrants come from.

To be clear for anyone who doesn't get it, a "bad" reputation is actually a good reputation to have.

Lets face it, if you only wanted to not die you'd be happy with a safe shithole on a desert coastline. If they get snarky about not getting free whatever because they bought into some refugee boat timeshare bullshit then that's just Darwinism.

So, you'd be happy with that if your country was at war, that's what you're saying?

Sure. If you want to be picky about where you end up then you're just an economic migrant. A queue jumper.

Imagine if you will a refugee boat pulling up to a wharf in Venice. No, lets say Finland. Some people greet them.

The first is an old gent who takes ties them alongside and tilts his worn peaked cap with a warm well-practised smile.

As the weary travellers disembark they meet the second, a smartly dressed (and conservatively, the new arrivals are Muslim after all) woman who also smiles and hands them all A4 buff envelopes with their their new passports, apartment keys and a free car catalogue with a selection of new-year BMW, Volvos and Audis to choose from.

The last is a sharply dressed young man in business pants and a v-neck sweater, he looks a lot like an accountant. He hands them all unemployment and medical benefit cards and tells them "You'll be taken care of, we encourage you to apply for jobs but you know that's not strictly necessary". He winks once to each passing New Citizen.

Once everyone has their new lives a fourth person in a tuxedo walks up to the crowd and waves them all into his fancy restaurant, free meals on the house for the beloved new arrivals. :awesome:
