Note they are identified as migrants, not refugees. That means they are illegally entering Europe.

but it is, since it may affect me. It is of global political interest, and it is none of your business what interests me. But I can think of a number of reasons why you might like to stifel comment and bury the report, not least embarrassment.

@robertskolimowski7049 you are failing to distinguish between economic migrants and refugees. Economic migrants must apply for permission to move to another country before travelling there . Refugees are supposed to apply for asylum in the first safe country they reach, they are not expect to travel on to a country more conducive to their economic aspirations. How many of these migrants will meet the above criteria?

@robertskolimowski7049 why obviously. It is not obvious, as is evident by those who burn their papers to avoid identification and those who fail to apply for sanctuary on arrival.

@robertskolimowski7049 your previous comments do not amount to evidence and Africa and the middle East is perfectly capable of producing conflicts without any western influence. Syria is a case in point. There are plenty of despots and dictators willing to murder their populations without help from Western governments. But again I ask, how many migrants will seek asylum in the first safe country they reach? Those migrants tracking across Europe at the moment are not running for their lives, no one is chasing them, they are seeking economic advantage, that makes them economic migrants.

@robertskolimowski7049 by accepting economic migrants as asylum seekers, you are endangering the lives of those who are true asylum seekers, those who really are in danger of being murdered. You are also aiding those criminals who arrange transport for economic migrants, falsely promising them a better life in the west. Clearly not the case for those trapped in migrant camps on the edge of Europe.
