I cannot confirm the numbers you are throwing around there, but it is true that the fathers often leave their families behind (either in their hometown or some place on the way that is a little more safe) and plan to get them to e.g. Germany once they have reached it AND their application for asylum has been approved. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove other than that the conditions in the countries these people are fleeing from must be horrendous. Otherwise they wouldn't risk everything and go on this hellish journey. Let me start by saying that the Dublin treaty is bad and the (wealthy, Northern) states should feel bad for imposing it on the rest of the EU. The states at the Southern and Eastern borders shouldn't be left alone with the refugee problem, but on the other hand I find it outrageous that states like Hungary, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and so on refuse to take in any (Muslim) refugees. You can't be part of the EU and only take the good without the bad. You can't reap the benefits and then point to Germany and Sweden when it comes to taking in refugees. The EU won't fail because of migration. It wil fail due to a lack of solidarity between the member states (if we let it happen). Speaking of which: what's currently happening in Hungary is a disgrace. If you consider yourself a Christian, how about not treating the poor at your doorstep like dirt and live by actual Christian values instead? When people are being crammed into camps and don't get proper help, of course they will start to be aggressive. You make it sound like these people are aggressive by nature and are out to hurt us. Please be careful with such insinuations. Also stuff like "Don't trust the media." and referring to so-called "specialists" without naming any sources is dangerous. It's part of the reason why dumbwits think it's their responsibility to defend the motherland by setting refugee homes on fire. Sorry, I tend to get carried away and get too emotional in discussions on this topic. There is no doubt, that an intake of refugees at this magnitude is going to be a challenge. All these people will need to be integrated. But it is also an opportunity. I encourage everyone to look at the cold, hard facts. In 2012 foreigners paid more taxes to the German state than they cost it in social benefits. The German population is getting older on average and is shrinking. Job sectors like handcraft are desperately looking for people to train. Also, I cannot speak about Poland, but by German constitution, every human has a right to apply for asylum here. It doesn't mean that they can stay here. The German government is about to declare countries like the Balkan states to safe origin countries, which will make the chances to be granted asylum close to zero and send them back home. Syria is a hellhole and we do right to grant these people refuge. That's my opinion, anyway. Peace.
