  1. This crisis needs to be resolved quickly, but Trump is the absolute last person that has any right to speak about battling migration. The USA has over 11 million illegal migrants as we speak, and that's just the ones they know about. We have 2-3 million illegals on a population of 510 million. And if you look at legal migration "affecting our cultures", Europe is still 95% European. The crime spike is not true either, and even if it would be we'd still have 5-10 times lower murder rate than the US, depending on the country you look at. Trump should shut up and look to his own problems before he starts shouting at others.

  2. +Max Mustermann I like our countries the way they are too. What I don't want is for our countries to turn into the US. More immigration will turn us into the mess that the US is. I want a society that lives together, not a bunch of communities that live separately from one another like in the US, no rampant individualism and zero care for your countrymen like in the US. Multi-culturalism does not work. We must welcome the people that are already here and embrace them into our culture, but we shouldn't allow uncontrolled immigration.

  3. +Dabaq Yashar I agree with it, don't attack me over this. America is stolen land, it never was a true "white" country. It's an immigrant country now, but it used to be for the natives. This is why I always laugh when an American yells about keeping the US white. It never was a European country, whites aren't native there. There is nothing to "protect", since everything native in America has already been destroyed. I just wanted to point out their hypocrisy when they say Europe is so screwed up with migrants, even though they themselves have much bigger issues on every subject. In my opinion, migrants coming to the US is no issue at all because it isn't a white country anyway, but too many migrants coming to Europe is. I believe every country should be left to the natives to have their own people and own cultures. That includes us in Europe, but not America

  4. +Tony the french Trouble Who the hell cares what their religion is? The Middle Eastern stream of migrants has been stopped by the EU some years ago. It dried up with the Turkey deal. What we have left now is the Libyan stream with Africans. They are Christians.... but I don't care. They're illegal migrants coming here for economic benefits, mostly. The EU must deal with the African stream like they dealt with the Syrian stream. Unfortunately they've been slow... but at least Italy has started a new discussion about this and I'm certain we will get a solution in the end. You call European leaders "veggies" without spines, but the EU has stopped the biggest migrant stream within months of it starting. That is what I call resolve and effective policy, yes with a spine. We have so far made a deal with the Libyan coast guard and gave them some ships to keep the African stream down, but that deal wasn't completely succesful. Now we are working on another solution. What have the Americans done? So far, just about nothing . Do you call that having a spine? Ripping families apart by forcefully removing children from their parents upon getting caught in the US is having a spine? It's the ultimate example of not having one. I want a leader that solves issues, not one that desperately builds walls that will never actually stop migrants or desperately resorts to punishing migrants by taking away their children. Americans have let migrants cross freely for literal decades and to this day do not have a solution. Instead they resort to breaking apart families and yelling at Europe.
