So; really, we're talking ILLEGAL Aliens, NOT "Migrants". Same thing happens daily in the deserts of Mexico/USA...they aren't "Migrants" either, they are ILLEGAL Aliens. RIP.

I see you didn't list refugee and asylum seekers.

Got no problems with immigrants that go through the proper channels. When immigrants try to use the refugee/Asylum seeker route I don't want those as they usually cause problems for locals and established immigrants.

See the recent rape attacks across Europe, my hometown currently is paying 235 Million Euro for Ayl hilfe and that comes from 1.9 million residents.

RIP to the 41 migrants.

These people didn't have to drown in the cold sea. Even though they're no longer welcomed in Europe, because of the massive influx and social tensions, they still keep coming and coming.

Shame on Saudi, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar etc . . . It's time to start pointing some blame on some of these rich Gulf nations.

There appear to be the grand collation of everything the right-wing hates: The cultural incompatibility of Islam. The xenophobia bomb that is associated with Latinos. The lower class culture that is associated with Blacks. And they belong to two of the most hated races on earth.

My biggest problem with this is not that they are fleeing war and seeking help, but that they come from countries that haven't seen any major surge in war-like activities recently; I'm reading about people from Pakistan and Somalia coming in on fake passports - why the hell should they apply for asylum when pretty much the entire undeveloped world is no worse!

When the gates are open they will come. When the gate is secured they will not in any significant numbers.
