European politicians, frankly being in the discomfort zone, try to "atone" the problem by common tortuous phrases. Nobody wants to take responsibility for hundreds of thousands of human lives and feed the hundreds of thousands of hungry mouths.
However, to shout "stop" when the train started - it is useless. The Syrians have flooded to Europe. There are many "streams" of Arabs, Ukrainians, people from countries from the Middle East and Africa. Let's be honest - if this stream increases in any way - Europe will choke. Neither fences, nor refugee camps, nor barbed wire or free soup will solve the problem. The EU economy, already pretty exhausted by crisis, by the penalties, the PIGS countries, etc, can’t carry such a load.
Reacting to the situation by calling for "let in all", without any thought how to live and feed “all” - reckless populism. Of course, it sounds appealing, but in reality it only delays the precious time given to solve the issue.
Photos of drowned Syrian boy awoke the world public consciousness. But the question is - is it the first child victim in the process of illegal migration? The world did not know before about the hundreds of people suffocated in freight containers? Drowned or died of starvation, locked in the prisons, wagons, trailers? And it's not on the way to the Nazi concentration camp, but in an attempt to get more comfortable life. And it is the 21st century. Syria and Ukraine - are the first "swallows". When the 2nd largest in size and the army force country in the world doesn’t recognize either borders, or laws, or morals - what kind of democracy, stability and human rights in general can be said?
Unfortunately, the world has not established an international organization capable of fulfill the mission of the League of Nations and the UN - to make the world a safer place. Economic penalties, as we have seen, effective means, but not enough. There is no need in free soup or beds for solving the issue of migrant workers. It’s necessary to build such world order that people do not have to flee their native country.
Eliminate the causes, but not the consequences.
