The European Union announced a €7.4 funding package and an upgraded relationship with Egypt on Sunday, part of a push to stem migrant flows to Europe criticised by rights groups.

    FCK Frontex and the idea of Fortress Europe. The make the Mediterranean Sea a mass grave.

    Europe doesn’t have a migration problem, it has an integration problem.
    Demographic changes affect the whole continent. We need migration to keep pension funds and healthcare insurance alive.
    We just completely failed to integrate migrants into society, fight poverty (especially among the youth) and offer chances to grow and self realize.

      We don’t need more people we need less and when we take everyone from developing countries, they will get problems as well.

      I agree we have a integration problem for the most part, but that is also caused by illigal immigration and shitty politics regarding the issue.

      Mediterranean sea is btw already a mass grave, frontex escorting them back to where they started doesn’t make a difference at all.

        when we take everyone from developing countries

        Just pointing out that this is a straw-man, and that discussions get better without them.

          Just pointing out that the above comment is utter trash and useless as hell.

            I was wondering if I had to go into why straw-men are bad for a discussion, but figured odds were likely you already knew. But assuming the goal is to find common ground and/or convince other people, then including straw-men makes those people assume you’re not understanding their point, and then dismissing the rest of whatever you’re trying to say.

            I hope it’s more useful now.
