So why are they talking about a treaty to distribute 160k

[Suff]

When they fully expect 3 Million?

Just another half truth in EULand in order to create divisive legislation and then pour on the immigrants in the same ratio as soon as the ink is wet on the deal....

If they want public unrest, these kinds of lies are exactly the way to go about it....

[edit]

Then they say

The new arrivals would give a short-term boost to growth from higher government spending on new asylum seekers, the Commission said.

Correct me if I'm wrong but most of the EU countries are running a budget deficit.

So we're going to borrow money to spend on the immigrants and it's going to have a negligible (read none), impact on our economic growth. Erm, then that money will be lost won't it. We will have spend money we can't afford so that we can take in people who should not be here in the fist place.

Oddly, I'm not sold on the idea...

I saw the figure and started to weep.

Not for the refugees, but for Europe.

My daughter is hoping to emigrate to Oz - she is well qualified. If she gets there I am going to try to follow for my remaining years.

Not a bad move really. If you can swing it, then go for it. Because the way things are going in Europe, we'll be swimming in people who don't want to be European, let alone British....

I can't fault you.

Here is something to consider. It has been reported in some papers that if a person is "fleeing from extreme poverty", then they are a legitimate asylum seeker.

If true this makes just about everybody in the third world a legitimate asylum seeker, and that any and all of them can come to the West.

The only answer to this is to say that we are tearing up any asylum treaties that we might have, and to get out of the UN, because they are some of the people behind this.

This business gets more serious every day.

All I can say is that I have not much longer to live in this once-Great Britain, and I have no
younger family members to worry about. Never-the-less, I am deeply saddened when I see
this country, that I have loved and been proud of for most of my life, going 'down the drain'.

Why do not the British people see what we are heading for? Is is because they are mostly
too occupied with modern technology? There is little doubt that this is the chief preoccupation
of a large percentage of the population. The fact that children are suffering as a consequence
is not the only result - the effects of current life-styles could well have other unwanted effects.

When this country is overrun with fast-breeding strangers, it will be too late to do anything
about it.

They are brain washed with the attitude that to deny someone what they want, even though they are illegally demanding it or could, though extreme hard work and effort, get it themselves at home, if their race or creed is different from ours, is racism.

That is the most stupid idiotic and destructive thing I have ever seen in my life.

However, if that is what they truly want, then they are welcome to it and can have it. I already have a home in France, #1 son has a home in France, #2 son lives in Argentina, #2 daughter is talking about moving to Canada.

I can't fault them. The more I look at the UK it is not the country of my birth and very, very, little of the changes are for the better.
