Shoot them all and pretend there is a god that will sort it out?
I think there's something a bit fishy about the whole thing - it seems very organised to have an army of 60,000+ almost exclusively made up of young men of fighting age, conveniently just after Spain prevented the US using bases in Spain to bomb Iran.
But I think the solution (to migration generally rather than just this invasion) is ideally a two-pronged approach. First, there needs to be a very tough policy of sending illegal migrants home and removing incentives to stay (benefit payments, free housing, free mobile phones etc).
Second, the root cause needs addressing. That's tougher and needs a long term approach, but basically revolves around making life in the countries the migrants originate from bearable. EU, UK and US trade policies are very protectionist against imports from Africa and other developing nations, and the "developed" world can be incredibly paternal. The age of Empires is over, and we need to recognise that. The West should offer investment and equal trade terms, not "foreign aid". African countries should be encouraged to develop in their own way and in their own cultural traditions, not shoehorned into a Western mould, and in due course, I would hope they could be equal but different, and offer their people employment and other opportunities that make it more attractive for people to stay there rather than become immigrants.
Yes I agree. Such insane mass of people do not appear out of nowhere like mushrooms after the rain. I believe that was nearly the size of Spartacus rebels army...
100%
I don't know enough about it to say anything. Is it like the masses that try to come into the US from the south? I'd wonder how many people are drawing parallels.
Europe always has a lot of people trying to get in.
