Steely Dan Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I see the invasion comes from another route now that Turkey has been bribed to police its own borders, though given events there that may not last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyarddog Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Now as in today load them in military transport planes and fly them all back to where they came from. Not difficult to do. About four or five trips using a C5 Galaxy. Its not even a long flight. Get this in the media. Every one that arrived will be back home within twelve hours after being pick up.

Jonmarleesco Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Europe, so disparaged by some appearing to be blind, is still considered a haven of peace, prosperity and freedom for all these people. A haven that lunatics with knives, axes and guns are putting at risk, and with it, a better than evens chance that Germany will change its immigrant refugee open door policy.

The problem is that if you had a million dollars, and gave a million poor people a dollar each, nobody would be much better off, and you would be as poor as them.

GOLDBUGGY Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Now that someone has figured out how to make money from this, at x$ per head, it will never stop. It is easy to feel sorry for them. But less easy when you are the one who has to pay to support them later. Just to think they first laughed at Trump for wanting to build a huge fence on the USA-Mexican Border. At least that is possible. I would like to see how they plan to stop this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDBUGGY Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I still smile when I think back many years ago when Cuba pulled this one over the eyes of the USA. Cuba sent a bunch of immigrants in poorly constructed boats from Cuba to Florida, which the US Coast Guard picked up and then they openly welcomed them in to the USA. It seemed like the noble thing to do at that time. But it turns out that a lot of these so called immigrants weren't really innocent immigrants at all. As Fidel Castro decided to empty his prisons and put the worst offenders on these boats. The USA wasn't really aware of this at first until the Crime Rate shot up in Florida like a rocket, and they did some further investigation. It has been said that: "Kindness is a Weakness". As I get older I am beginning to believe this more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
