Europe is experiencing a mass immigration without historical precedent. At this clip, several millions from North Africa are moving in every year, what this will add up to in a couple years boggles the mind. We are witnessing the transformation of Europe into an islamic continent in fast motion.

These people are refugees, not migrants. They are seeking refuge from wars. They come from all classes. They have been cheated, exploited and brutalized. They have been brutalized in countries where they have sought shelter. This is a a humanitarian crisis of overwhelming proportions. Understanding that these are refugees fleeing violence is the first step in solving the problem.

Immigrant forced migrations are deliberate attempt by Islamic State to force Sharia law in Western nations by sheer numbers. Islamic radicals know perfectly well what they are doing by terrorizing town after town to force fleeing masses to the West. It is a win-win situation for Islamic State to make sure they conquer all countries with radical Islam.

When you see some of the reasons why these people are entering Europe it can be rather annoying. A large number interviewed are after a better life in a rich country. Some want to go to university (they say) in the UK because they can speak English. What's that got to do with being brutalised or tortured... sitting in a transit camp at Calais won't do them any good.... and neither will getting themselves killed hanging on to trains or lorries, or terrifying holiday makers by trying to get into their cars.

Of course there are genuine refugees, and they should be accepted by the first country they arrive in... that's the EU rule, not wander across Europe looking for a richer country to settle in for a more comfortable life.

Agree with Thunderbird2.

The situation across Europe is out of control. Amnesty complained that camps are badly run because they have 2-3 times occupancy.

Don't get me wrong I feel for the Migrants, heck I migrated to 2 countries myself. But economic Migrants are NOT refugees and most want to live in a country of their choice.

I am all for accepting genuine Refugees into Europe and my home country, Migrants need to go the proper route for immigration.

The current situation is a huge drain on government coffers and economies.

The factual circumstances around European refugee crisis bring to focus this Vedic astrology writer's monumental predictions made as early as last year on 2 June 2014 , which were published in article - Stressful times ahead for world economy in 2015 and 2016 - online at astrologyweekly.com. While mentioning the identified period from May 2015 to October 2015 in relation to economic growth trends in, among others, EU as well , it was predicted : " Discernible concerns would surface. Definite rumbles of distress would be heard." Areas or aspects of life which could be impacted by the planetary influences so as to generate aforesaid trends were also identified and mentioned clearly. The news reports about Greece and unprecedented influx of migrants-refugees to Europe plus hesitation of unanimity news for an united action, seem to point to precise accuracy of this writer's predictions. Readers may, however, note that planetary impacts suggest likely trends which are not synonymous with determinism. So will power and appropriate strategy has a role if brought to play for bringing situation under control or in some cases changing course of such trends.
