Thousands are piling up in the southern European countries. If you were to believe the media, most are children, judging by <a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/photos\/picture-gallery-others\/europe-tries-to-plug-refugee-influx-migrants-to-survive\/6\/\">the pictures they publish<\/a> to tug at heart strings of Europeans. In reality, some folks are saying that over 80% are military-age males.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Last week, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker set out proposals for mandatory quotas for EU countries to take in 120,000 refugees who were already in Italy, Greece and Hungary, on top of plans made in May to relocate 40,000 from Italy and Greece.<\/p>\n<p>EU member states must still agree to the European Commission&#8217;s proposals, which are backed by Germany. Their interior ministers are due to meet Monday in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss the issue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Germans brought in Turkish &#8220;guest workers&#8221; after the Second World War because there was a shortage of labor after that slaughter. The Turks never really assimilated to German life, and they were never accepted by most Germans, so I don&#8217;t see this going any better for the Germans or this new wave of immigrants, either.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, here in the US, <a href=\"http:\/\/fox2now.com\/2015\/09\/13\/rally-held-to-bring-syrian-migrants-to-st-louis-area\/\">folks are rallying<\/a> to bring more of those military-age Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Afghans to this country, too.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[Faizan Syed, executive director of the St. Louis Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations] says he\u2019s received overwhelming support from people sharing is position.   Critics have argued St. Louis can\u2019t afford to welcome refugees when there are existing problems that need help.  Syed has heard that argument before and doesn\u2019t buy it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you bring in other refugees they get some limited government assistance in the beginning, but then they\u2019re able to help rebuild they\u2019re able to start working, pay taxes.\u201d?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How&#8217;s about we get jobs for the people who are already here before we start employing people who aren&#8217;t here yet and counting our chickens before they&#8217;re hatched. <\/p>\n<p>Funny how the US shouldn&#8217;t be the world&#8217;s policeman, but when we&#8217;re not, when we don&#8217;t take the helm in the world&#8217;s affairs, everything turns to crap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germany isn&#8217;t the most friendly place in the world for people who come from the &#8220;south&#8221; &hellip; <a title=\"Germany closes borders to migrants\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61830\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Germany closes borders to migrants<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61831,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foreign-policy","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/61831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
