Greece wants to give asylum seekers the right to work

 

 

ATHENS: -- The Greek migration minister has asked the European Union to speed up the relocation of refugees from Greece to other member states.

 

Last year the EU promised to ease pressure on Greece and Italy who are on the front line of the migrant crisis.

 

Under the plan 160,000 migrants could be relocated over two years, but so far just 4,000 have actually moved.

 

Yannis Mouzalas said he wants to give migrants and asylum seekers the right to work.

 

“This work on the preliminary registration gives us the ability to move forward with the programmes being developed by the Education Ministry for the children at the camps, for the children of the refugees,” said Mouzalas. “It also gives us the ability to change regulations – we will see how this can be accomplished – to give these people the right to work.”

 

Mouzalas said Greece has 7,000people ready to be relocated and no answer from EU member states which would be obliged to accept them.

 

Most refugee camps have been criticised by humanitarian organisations as having poor, unsanitary and unsafe conditions.

 

Hungary and Slovakia have challenged the relocation plans in EU courts.

I can think of a place where these "refugees" are perfectly entitled and able to work. At this place they will also be surrounded by family and friends, a familiar fashion, climate and culinary experience, and cultural norms that are appropriate. It's called home, which is of course where they should all be sent.

Younger Greeks are fleeing Greece in their thousands because there is little to no work for them.

No.  He wants to give them papers that will make it easier to move the migrants on from Greece.

 

In the meantime, the migrants need work.

In return for safety, shelter and food. Get them working in the Refugee camps turning them from pigsty's into something a little more habitable.

Stupid idea.. This just encourages more illegal entrants. Process their asylum claims at a faster pace. Anyone who has crossed international borders illegally - excluded. Anyone coming from a country not in a state of war - excluded. Anyone without skills or considered to be a burden - excluded. Criminals and anyone with false papers etc - excluded.

 

Shouldn't take more than 12 hrs to consider a claim. Exclude any that fail and deport them immediately with all the other illegals. Until a hard line is shown the hordes of Africa, the Middle East and South Asia will continue to arrive. If they want a better life return them to their backward country of birth and have them work for it.

 

Genuine reffos can be housed in refugee camps paid for by the do-gooders, religious nutters and liberal lefty types.

 

Anyone wealthy with skill can be admitted on a limited time visa and taxed on their earnings..

 

Sounds fair....

With that single sentence you have solved the whole migrant crisis.

 

 

Everyone of those migrants that paid a people trafficker is illegal.

well... that's got a lot of building jobs at least

 

- must be better than the Gleeks shouting "they gert our Jerbs, they gert our Jerbs"

 

But the Syrians will instead let the Chinese in, who simply love building deserted cities

Greece can't take care of it's own citizens.
