Re: Unstoppable migration?
Of course the cultural differences being alluded to here ought to have been considered by those who decided that they'd simply open the floodgates to all and sundry without a thought about how to deal with the masses. As it is, there's a growing number of people* within the EU who, left to their own devices, aren't going to integrate and are going to prove a serious problem in one way or another. There's also all of those who've been traumatised and otherwise damaged by their awful experiences who're similarly likely to have serious problems unless they're given the long term support, counselling etc. required to help them recover. Given that we're clearly struggling to cope with our existing vulnerable, mentally ill etc., I have no idea how the resources necessary to stop such people descending (or being drawn into by others) into depression, drugs, criminality etc. are going to be found. I suspect the money/resources won't be found and what will happen is that these people will largely be left to get on with it and in time the rest of us will be required to pick up the pieces. That of course excludes the proportion of migrants who are plain criminals and quite possibly escaping 'justice' in their own countries or just looking for far richer pickings in the west. It doesn't take many to cause a whole lot of grief.
(* and given the huge numbers it doesn't have to be a large percentage to be a very serious issue)
