In a pair of statements adding to the confusing EU refugee policy, top officials made two separate statements demanding that Turkey let more Syrian refugees across the border, and demanding that Turkey keep the refugees away from Europe.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini insisted that last week’s pledge of some $3 billion in new aid was meant to ensure they could host all the refugees, and demanded Turkey reopen the border. Turkey insists the border is mostly open, though they kept one of the crossings, where a lot of refugees are massed, will remain closed.
EU enlargement commissioner Johannes Hahn, by contrast, insisted that there was “no doubt” Turkey could do more to stop the refugees, and that a November deal obliges them to do something to prevent refugees from reaching EU soil.
Hahn warned that Turkey’s refusal to stop the refugees could lead to EU nations building walls between their own nations, in an effort to keep the refugees largely confined in southeastern Europe, which could lead to a domino effect ending the EU open borders policy.
Sounds like the E U must be racist
So then, American Indians were xenophobic & racist for resisting the beleaguered European migrants.
The indigenous peoples of Europe have every right to resist having their cultures & homelands over run by outsiders.
US / NATO weapons & troops out of the Middle East, agreed. But compounding one wrong with another wrong does not make a right.
Dutch, French, British, and who knows how many
other EU members are enthusiastically bombing Syria and Iraq– and making
refugees every day. (So, of course, are the US leaders of the pack, Canada,
Russia, and Turkey.) What right has the
EU to tell Turkey anything? None.
Turkey has received many hundreds of thousands of
refugees and done its duty for them.
“Stopping” them is not Turkey’s job– except it should stop
bombing in Syria and Iraq and lay off its own ethnic war. Turkey will see fewer refugees that way, but it
should work to get the US and NATO out of the area.
Because Turkey is a Muslim country, that’s why.
