Plus it re-inforces the xenophobic Brexit mindset. Not really surprised you've been taken in by it. Some funny looking Syrians there! And wasn't the oldest unaccompanied "child" they found about 31 ? The majority are economic migrants from all over Asia and Africa. This is established. Where have you been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you're starting to sound very Dacre-like. With it's recent history it's no surprise to the educated that Germany would respond by opening it's borders.

Did you look at the link? I already said I couldn't substantiate the 31 precisely. I don't need to retract what I didn't assert in the first place. I posed it as a question originally because it was and is illustrative of the problem. 31, 25, 20 makes no difference. Two thirds of them weren't what they were supposed to be - children. They should have been back in their own countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if we don't, we simply encourage more on a perilous journey across continents, quite likely into the hands of the traffickers and possibly to their deaths.
