George Soros Demands EU Accept 1 Million Refugees (Costing €15 Billion) Per Year For Foreseeable Future

Tyler Durden's picture




 

George Soros want Europe to do a lot more for the refugees, asylum-seekers, and migrants mass-exodus-ing from The Middle East. As he writes in a Project Syndicate op-ed, The European Union needs to accept responsibility for the lack of a common asylum policy, which has transformed this year’s growing influx of refugees from a manageable problem into yet another political crisis.

Each member state has selfishly focused on its own interests, often acting against the interests of others. This precipitated panic among asylum seekers, the general public, and the authorities responsible for law and order. Asylum seekers have been the main victims.

The EU needs a comprehensive plan to respond to the crisis, one that reasserts effective governance over the flows of asylum-seekers so that they take place in a safe, orderly way, and at a pace that reflects Europe’s capacity to absorb them. To be comprehensive, the plan has to extend beyond the borders of Europe. It is less disruptive and much less expensive to maintain potential asylum-seekers in or close to their present location.

As the origin of the current crisis is Syria, the fate of the Syrian population has to be the first priority. But other asylum seekers and migrants must not be forgotten. Similarly, a European plan must be accompanied by a global response, under the authority of the United Nations and involving its member states. This would distribute the burden of the Syrian crisis over a larger number of states, while also establishing global standards for dealing with the problems of forced migration more generally.

Here are the six components of a comprehensive plan.

First, the EU has to accept at least a million asylum-seekers annually for the foreseeable future. And, to do that, it must share the burden fairly – a principle that a qualified majority finally established at last Wednesday’s summit.

 

Adequate financing is critical. The EU should provide €15,000 ($16,800) per asylum-seeker for each of the first two years to help cover housing, health care, and education costs – and to make accepting refugees more appealing to member states. It can raise these funds by issuing long-term bonds using its largely untapped AAA borrowing capacity, which will have the added benefit of providing a justified fiscal stimulus to the European economy.

 

It is equally important to allow both states and asylum-seekers to express their preferences, using the least possible coercion. Placing refugees where they want to go – and where they are wanted – is a sine qua non of success.

 

Second, the EU must lead the global effort to provide adequate funding to Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey to support the four million refugees currently living in those countries.

 

Thus far, only a fraction of the funding needed for even basic care has been raised. If education, training, and other essential needs are included, the annual costs are at least €5,000 per refugee, or €20 billion. EU aid today to Turkey, though doubled last week, still amounts to just €1 billion. In addition, the EU also should help create special economic zones with preferred trade status in the region, including in Tunisia and Morocco, to attract investment and generate jobs for both locals and refugees.

 

The EU would need to make an annual commitment to frontline countries of at least €8-10 billion, with the balance coming from the United States and the rest of the world. This could be added to the amount of long-term bonds issued to support asylum-seekers in Europe.

 

Third, the EU must immediately start building a single EU Asylum and Migration Agency and eventually a single EU Border Guard. The current patchwork of 28 separate asylum systems does not work: it is expensive, inefficient, and produces wildly inconsistent results in determining who qualifies for asylum. The new agency would gradually streamline procedures; establish common rules for employment and entrepreneurship, as well as consistent benefits; and develop an effective, rights-respecting return policy for migrants who do not qualify for asylum.

 

Fourth, safe channels must be established for asylum-seekers, starting with getting them from Greece and Italy to their destination countries. This is very urgent in order to calm the panic. The next logical step is to extend safe avenues to the frontline region, thereby reducing the number of migrants who make the dangerous Mediterranean crossing. If asylum-seekers have a reasonable chance of ultimately reaching Europe, they are far more likely to stay where they are. This will require negotiating with frontline countries, in cooperation with the UN Refugee Agency, to establish processing centers there – with Turkey as the priority.

 

The operational and financial arrangements developed by the EU should be used to establish global standards for the treatment of asylum-seekers and migrants. This is the fifth piece of the comprehensive plan.

 

Finally, to absorb and integrate more than a million asylum seekers and migrants a year, the EU needs to mobilize the private sector – NGOs, church groups, and businesses – to act as sponsors. This will require not only sufficient funding, but also the human and IT capacity to match migrants and sponsors.

The exodus from war-torn Syria should never have become a crisis. It was long in the making, easy to foresee, and eminently manageable by Europe and the international community. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has now also produced a six-point plan to address the crisis. But his plan, which subordinates the human rights of asylum-seekers and migrants to the security of borders, threatens to divide and destroy the EU by renouncing the values on which it was built and violating the laws that are supposed to govern it.

The EU must respond with a genuinely European asylum policy that will put an end to the panic and the unnecessary human suffering.

I agree with Soros. Each .001% member of the human race has selfishly focused on HIS own interests, often acting against the interests of others.

He should immediately "give" the EU all funds necessary to put his plan into action. After all It's the politically corrct thing to do.

Sounds like an 'infinity' bond. Or a 'parasite' bond where someone (think George Soros) wants free money for his own political views.

He's an evil old bastard who just will not kick off nicely.

 

Perhaps he needs a hand....

Uprated not because I agree, but because it's essential for the world public to know what this guy is trying to force on us -- historically, we've only seen the damage after it was done.

Mr. Soros is quite explicit in making the Syrian crisis EVERYBODY'S problem.  Yours, mine, the dog next door.  Somehow, we are all responsible for the power-plays of the High & Mighty and the excessive reproduction of the entire Middle East.  We are all to pay higher taxes, higher rents, and increased job competition for what jobs there ARE, so that we can make the consequences of imperialism and wars of adventure go away, freeing our senile elites to continue murdering for "democracy".  One supposes Mr. Soros is willing to pay his fair share of the cost -- perhaps even as much as you and I.

Enough with the bleeding hearts.  To be coldly practical, as long as we keep picking up after the messes that Our 1% Rulers make -- Soros being among those -- we enable them to go merrily messing along.  We wouldn't tolerate this behavior from a ten-year-old, and we shouldn't tolerate it from them.  The time to worry about a Syrian refugee crisis was, ultimately, before we decided on forcing "regime change" for the greater security of Israel.  Notice who is NOT taking any refugees?  Yeaap.  Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, or . . . Israel.

The best way to solve the Syrian refugee crisis is to STOP BOMBING, and support Assad in cleaning up a backyard he knows a lot better than we do.  The best way to solve the general worldwide "asylum" crisis is to let would-be asylum-seekers know that they will be kept in Spartan camps behind barbed-wire fences with no monetary support while their petitions are considered, and physically delivered back to where they came from if they are rejected.  Fifteen thousand Euros each, for two years!  Hell, *I'LL* seek asylum in Europe on those terms! I'm sure my government doesn't like me, is readiing all my e-mails, and will bust my door down at 2 am if I grow any number of useful medicinal herbs in my garden.

George Soros Demands EU Accept 1 Million Refugees

Can someone explain to me why it is that it is overwhelmingly the Jews (Zionists actually) in both the USA and the EU that have been the ones pushing for all this immigration (primarily illegal immigration) and no-one seems to want to bring this issue up???  This is just another example of a group that comprises less than .001% of the world's population exerting undue influence over the affairs of the rest of us.  When is this bullshit going to stop??

They think Jews are safer if the host population are turned into a minority and they don't care how many non-Jews get hurt in the process. They've been destroying civilizations in the same way one after the other for 3000 years.

I don't think the destruction deliberate; they just weaken the host population from the inside to the point where the civilization either collapses or gets over-run from the outside.

He forgot to add all the costs, human, economic, opportunities for youth(citizens of the EU), cultural costs, Court System Costs, Infrastructure costs of building facilities to process through courts, government services, jails, prisons, medical costs, disease, rape, murder, trends away from European Values within the Government, Media, Educational System, and strain to Educational Systems.

Article 2 of the UN convention on genocide.

 

"Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroyin whole or in part, a nationalethnicalracial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

They should all be on trial.

From a guy that ratted on his own people in WWII and profited greatly from the suffering of others (Asian crisis which killed 400,000 people due to malnutrition and lack of access to medical care) you can expect anything. I demand that Soros leaves this life.

Most of the "immigrants" are young males. So, instead of the dumb ass French and US destroying ISIS "training grounds", capture them and then take all these young Syrian males and train them to fight for their own country !!! Sorry, we have 92 million people who cant find a job--we dont need 100,000 more per year. And, if that doesnt say it clear enough, I dont want Saudi contributions to build mosques here for them here either !! The Saudis have temporary housing already built to house them all--Vatican and Soros can chip in on their care while the Saudis train them to fight for their own country. If Obama says we should do more , he can give up his Illinois Congressional pension and his Federal Congressional pension and his 191,000 PER YEAR Presidential Pension

This sounds like a Bankers Plan to me!

Europe gets millions of refugees > has to pay for free shit like housing, food, medical aid > Europe gets bankrupt > Governments need more debt/expensive money > European Governments go ask Soros and his Bankster Criminals for Loans > Bankers happy = Everybody happy.

Germany giving free money to the camel fuckers, means something very close to Helicopter money = Quantitative Easing on Steroids! How beautiful.

George Soros needs to go ASAP!

Oh, I forgot the best part:

Europe needs more militarization (either for the Police or the army, doesn't make a difference) to later take care of the shit show that this will create.

Refugees into Europe = more debt = more chaos = more arms sales = more evil Bankster & Military Complex profits.

Fuck, THAT is what I call a evil Plan.

We need to understand Soros is crafting a WW3 in Europe - he himself admitted this in several interviews.
He, as a resperesentative of the global corporate/banking cartel, plans to destabilise Hungary and execute a regime-change there similarly to the Ukraine scenario. What is told in recent RT post

"Why the US, UK, EU & Israel hate Syria"

is equally applicable to Hungary.

The refugee crisis is part of the elites' plan to import the Mideast conflict into Europe meanwhile create an atmosphere of a demonised Hungary as a pretext for planned regime change. More details on this in posts: https://twitter.com/glopol_analysis/status/647322154556653569
