Mapping A Migration: An Infographic Look At Europe's Refugee Crisis Response

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Well, it’s official, Washington can add “out of control refugee crisis” to the list of bad foreign policy outcomes stemming from America's Mid-East meddling.

That list also includes things like accidentally arming an Iran-backed militia with a half billion in sophisticated weapons in Yemen, sponsoring the nullification of a democratic election outcome in Turkey, abandoning support for one Egyptian despot only to see the new US-backed despot sentenced to death after being overthrown in a military coup, and training a group of Syrian freedom fighters who later metamorphosed into a black flag-waving band of marauding jihadists bent on establishing a medieval caliphate. 

And that’s all in the space of, let’s call it five years.

Of course the US has a habit of dragging its European allies along for the ride and the conflict in Syria is no different only this time around, not only will Western Europe be expected to join (or at the very least verbally sanction) the invasion of a sovereign Middle Eastern country at the possible cost of thousands of soldiers’ lives, it will now also have to cope with an unprecedented flow of asylum seekers fleeing the carnage in Syria. The EU’s first stab at tackling the migrant crisis came on Wednesday in the form of a compulsory quota system that seeks to distribute some 160,000 refugees. Because the “plan” has been the subject of some confusion and a lot of criticism, we thought it useful to provide an overview of the proposal and on that note, we turn it over to The New York Times:

The president of the European Commission offered a plan on Wednesday to share the burden of resettling 160,000 people in Greece, Hungary and Italy, the three countries where the most migrants have arrived in Europe.

 

The plan assigns each member state a number of people based on its economic strength, population, unemployment and the number of asylum applications it has approved over the last five years.

 

Based on the proportions outlined in the proposal, here are countries that have already approved asylum applications at a rate:

That's a lot of new mosques to be built. Wonder if those contracts will go to natives or immigrants...

Saudi Arabia has offered to build an incredible amount of mosques for this exact purpose.  Interestingly, however, they are not offering to shelter any refugees despite the fact that they have all of the vacant tents with AC and plumbing for the Muslim events they host and they are of the same religion etc.

President Barack Obama has directed his administration to prepare to take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees next year, a White House spokesman said on Thursday.

The number reflects a “significant scaling up” of the U.S. commitment to accept refugees from the war-torn country and to provide for their basic needs, White House press secretary Josh Earnest.

It ain't the mosques. It is the madrasas that recruit suiciders. Really a sad cynical system.

BTW, we have a lot of them here... http://en.travel2moscow.com/where/pilgrimage/mosques/
So as we have sufficient amount of catholic, greece-catholic, buddhist, baptist, lutheran, judaist, etc. churches. It is quite strange but there is no problem with it.

Time to add America to the list. Obama wants 'at least 10,000' according to NYT.

You can't ever trust government planning or their numbers, there will be many more than they admit to and they will end up in more areas.  Any word yet on who paid for the transport, life jackets etc for the first wave?  If the stories of fresh immigrant crimes are true it makes one wonder where they got these guys?  They, being the people who bought the life jackets etc.

The Syrian refugee crisis that the media bleats about is not a crisis.

This is almost funny. You can't order those emigrants to go to Poland. They are not an animal they will just run away from Poland. Some ppl think they will work for their pensions :) This is also very funny. In Poland we had nice case with Romes in Pu?awy, about 500 Romes lives just on social, and even tho 500.000 euro was spend to help them find a job. Guess how many started to work. ZERO, not a single person acquired for job for over 7 years.  They just get food, house, medical care, spare for booze and they don't care about job, perfect life :) Weird there is no such help for native ppl only for emigrants. Common ppl in Poland can get social help for 1 year than you are on your own without any help. While emigrant gets help forever. That's sick system that promotes "not finding job". In germany, sweden you get even more help. So don't wonder why they don't run away to Russia or Turkey or Emirates. Why would you work if you can live for free.

My local paper has a comment section and quite a few people there think that this mass migration is going to be all love and kisses. I've tried to explain that this isn't a case of people actually willingly leaving their homes in order to settle in a new country. They are, for all intents and purposes, on a forced migration from their homelands because the West fucked around with regime change and didn't seem to understand that people like Qadaffi, Saddam and Assad, while assholes, actually held the disparate groups in these countries, groups that want to exterminate each other, together. We offed (or want to off) the leaders, but we don't have shit to put in their place, so the exterminations start. These people want to survive, so they move.

Now, does any sane person think these people are going to assimilate into Western society? No. They're going to be in their own little enclaves, speaking their own language and letting their hate for the West, who they know is responsible for fucking up their homeland, fester.

It won't end well in Europe nor will it end well here. But the U.S. And the West bought this problem on themselves.

It's certainly true that the USA, and it's European enablers, triggered the current migrant fiasco, but the demographic and resource issues of the MENA region are long-term, and would have terminated in the same situation anyway, and soon. 

If you have a water-poor, food-poor, money-poor region with an expanding population lying next door to well-watered wealthy region where the inhabitants can't be bothered with having children, the poor are inevitably going to "invade" the rich, unless they are physically prevented from doing so. 

You can't beat something with nothing.  And the elite of Modern Europe are so very close to being nothing at all.
