Sure, but they are already in France yet many of them insist on getting to Britain when they don't have any links to Britain. Doesn't the whole refugee law say that refugees should seek asylum in the first safe country they get to? France is quite safe and rich enough. We've promised to take in 20,000 and have done our part.
Japan has the right stance on "refugees", which basically amounts to "our people come first".
They are quite right.
Bullshit..... I get to speak on this because my x-wife is Japanese. Fear of outsiders is wrong no matter who is doing it. Hyper nationalism and paranoia was what caused Japan to shack up with the likes of Hitler, and her grandfather fought against us, that was a person she loved dearly and rightfully so. But at the same time her parents are still old enough to feel guilty about what Japan did. The same hyper nationalism Trump is peddling.
Recently there have been protests in Japan against our American military because of problems when individual military there have raped women, is it right any man to rape a women? Women also get raped in America too. In a comment I saw by Japanese bar owner about anti American Military protests he said "Our prisons have rapists too". Now, when it comes to humans our labels do not automatically make us good or bad. Our species behaviors are in our evolution, and our species will always produce good behaviors and bad behaviors no matter how boarders change in the future.
Our species didn't become diverse by sticking to it's own. Our entire species started out of Africa and because of migration and mixing we have all these different looks on the planet. Every nation has hospitals and prisons both friend and foe alike. What is more important to me are your actions in valuing empathy and non violence as a means to problem solving. Again, our current boarders as a species does not change that our entire species is still stuck on the same rock.
It is the same evolutionary fear regardless of label. Humans are social evolutionary wise, that leads us to form groups for survival, the problem is for most humans is that logic is flawed based on artificial constructs we call race, religion and politics and economics. Those are the excuses humans make to group to compete for resources. None of that changes in the end that ultimately that is what life is. Unfortunately that leads most humans to a very narrow view of the world to the point we think locally and end up defending what our parents pass down to us.
No, sorry, shutting your fellow human out based on fear is not acceptable period. If you want to live in paranoid societies try Iran or North Korea.
