I Wonder How Much Longer the EU Will Last?
#24
RE: I Wonder How Much Longer the EU Will Last?
To address the OP, seems a bit issue at the moment is that a lot of the migrants currently in the Jungle at Calais believe the UK to have cities which are lined with gold where jobs are abundant and people of their own nationalities have built utopian socities where they can settle and live happily ever after.

After sleeping rough in the wet british weather under the M25 for a month, I doubt you'll find many migrants who don't regret believing the people traffickers.

I think to combat this issue we need to look at the grander scale of the problem, the poverty and destruction prevelant in many states in Africa and the Middle East which means theres often more worth in spending everything they have on a perilous journey where thousands die to come to Europe than stay wherever they come from. In comparison to these areas Europe is a technological and social wonderland, at least in their estimation. You can't solve a migrant crisis by locking migrants up and keeping them in a shanty town, after all, as otherwise you'll just be building bigger shanty towns, pissing everyone of even more.
