Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Why are a bunch of North African immigrants coming over if the "refugee crisis" is supposed to be Syrian refugees (which, go figure, according to those statistics are remarkably behaved)? Was the response to trying to sort out who was a refugee and who wasn't simply to let them all in
Nah the EU has just always had an open door

People from North Africa have been trying to get into Europe long before the whole Syria mess erupted. In fact, the European immigrant crisis before the Syrian exodus took focus were the smuggler boats taking people from North Africa to Europe (commonly Italy) and those boats often sank.

North africans have been trying to get to europe since basically forever, and its always been kind of a huge issue, specially through italy. Now with merkel spreading germany's legs to the worldthe middle east, it only made things worse. These guys will do anything to get a chance at it too. Here's a particulary disturbing video of a group of misc african immigrants intentionaly capsizing their boat near a fishing vessel because they mistook it for a coast guard ship and though they'd get rescued.

Most of them drowned.
Let that sink in
pffft sorry

The guys couldn't just take them on board cause they'd present a huge security risk and because its not unknown for pirates to pass for immigrants or refugees and then capture boats when they're brought on board.

Imagine a party.

The guy on the door won't just let people not on the guest list come in.

A guy wants to go to the party but isn't on the list, so he puts himself in danger. Maybe it's raining so he runs across the road to the house, slips, and whacks his head on the pavement. The door guy isn't a bastard, so helps him into the lobby rather than leave him facedown in the rain. The guy gets himself back up and tries to slip into the party before someone else spots him so he can have a good time, even though nobody wants him there or really wants him in.

Another guy is taking a smoke break outside the next party over and is attacked by some thugs. He runs for the safety protected by the huge guy at the party's door and the door guy lets him in so he isn't beaten up by the thugs (They later throw firecrackers over the wall into the party garden). The guy realises that this party is much better than the one he came from, and as long as he can't go back to the party all his mates are at because of the thugs, he should check out the real party instead of waiting in the lobby with all the guys who ran across the road and knocked themself out trying to get in.

Yeah, it seems then that to those who tried to compare it to the US, that these are entirely different situations. It especially seems that, at least in the US, that people kind of mixed up these two things into one "migration" crisis despite the fact that they're two entirely different things.

It's one immigrant crisis. The actual Syrian refugees were a minority among the immigrants that arrived in 2014-15 (even including people with basis for asylum from other countries). Media kept referring to them all as refugees regardless, despite how it made it seem like they all came from Syria. This is the kind of thing people is getting at when they talk about media narratives regarding immigration.

Now, I'm all for making it easy to immigrate, or at least easier than how the US currently has it (or at least less costly/miserable), but open doors? You're just asking for conflict that way.

Red = Countries with serious conflicts going on, pretty much all of them except for Ukraine related to islamism
Blue = Countries who have skimpy borders and that doesn't mean they're asking for it, we don't country slut blame here

The EU is a big neighbourhood. Lots of families have their own homes cobbled together with their own front doors and walled off gardens and such, but one day the Europeans get a bright idea - what if they knocked down all of their doors and turned all of their houses into one super-apartment. Sounds great, and if anyone disagrees you just ignore them and keep knocking down doors anyways. Things get better as all the students realize it's really fun going through everyone elses houses without having to ask for permission, everyone trusts one another anyways so it's no big deal.
The surrounding neighbourhoods were absolutely fucked, and got even more fucked as time went on. The sheer levels of fuckery that occurred could not be detailed in one simple post, no the fuckery could not be contained, spreading into other neighbourhoods and causing even more fuckery. Some of the families in the European neighbourhood were even involved in the fuckery, returning home to their big neighbourhood with loot and shit.
That's when the European homeowners council start getting complaints. They forgot to install a gate for their little community. Suddenly loads of people start showing up; it's ok though, France can vouch for them. But the volume is increasing further and that's when things take a complete fucking shit turn, tens of thousands of families moving in from Africa, prompting the German family to say everyone who arrives from Syria is welcome, especially Syrians from Africa who have never been in Syria before
The European homeowners spend so long arguing with the European homeowners council that nothing gets done and the Serbian family is panicking telling everyone else that jihadis are moving into the apartments. The Austrian and the Hungarian families are busy boarding their houses up whilst the British family is deeply concerned with the recent string of murders taking place amongst the European families, in order to placate their fears the European homeowners council decides to hire one Turkish bouncer to police the European community but he doesn't even do his job and just stands by his gate smoking euro notes whilst everyone walks past.

Fast forward 3 years. Most families have determined that the European council association of homeowners is feckless and have just reinstalled their doors. Nevertheless they have to now share their home with four men called Umar and one of them goes on about how he doesn't support ISIS, but understands it, sharpening his machete whilst reading lewd theology. The Swedish family laments that although they fucked their house over and they can no longer pay the bills or stop the house from falling apart, at least they were tolerant. The German family is haunted by the fact that every time a jihad lorry runs into the house, their Grandpa starts quoting mein kampf on his twitter; in response the German family have decided to keep the door open but demand that no one wear burkas inside the house. Them's the rules. The French family have decided too that anyone who wants to use their beaches have to wear bikinis or go nude, that is simply the French way. The British have started a bonfire using sterling notes whilst a grey Englishman simply yells 'we burn sterling you burn Churches doo da, doo da.' The Hungarian family decides that one fence is not enough, they need 2Fence. The Ukrainian family pretends like people have actually noticed them. The polish family shrugs its shoulders in confusion, no migrants ever tried moving into their house, and the door is still open. The Croatians and Serbians remind arrivals that their houses are still full of landmines and they don't know where they put them all.

The stream coming from Syria caught the medias attention because it was such a massive influx all at once that it completely overwhelmed the system.

@Whispa because I ain't quoting that monster post

I wasn't making an analogy about the incredibly fucked situation causing the crisis it was about why you have two main types of immigrants in Germany and why the crime rate in one is reportedly 80 times higher. Ones a partycrasher who has discovered that despite what his mate who sold him directions said the party is not in fact nirvana while the other is just glad to be in a party at all instead of being beaten up by thugs.

Both know it's not really their party, but only one is smashing up the place

I would disagree on the last point, both know it is their party, both know euros are too old. While Europeans are doing disco, Newropeans are doing ironic peppa pig halal remix raves; it's clear to whom the future belongs

No, smjj" you're still not getting it. Most of that "stream coming from Syria" you saw on tv weren't coming from Syria. Syrian refugees were a minority among these immigrants. If only people from Syria had arrived then we wouldn't have had nearly the same kind of breakdown as we did.

@Americans: You also have to remember that a lot of migrants are purely economic in nature since they can come here and live off welfare and send the money back home. Sometimes they even claim for the kids they have back home on our welfare system.

The UK media / government claims there's no fraud in the system (or if it is, it's minimal) but you can't detect fraud anyway so they essentially make up those statistics.

As an example of a common fraud method, when I was in college I knew a guy from Liberia who was integrating pretty nicely. He was a nice enough fella all round. He told me he went from welfare office to welfare office, gave each a new name, got a new National Insurance number and then collected £50 from each every week. It was a total of about 10 offices that he managed in a single trip so about £500 weekly, £2000 monthly (which was about $3500 a month at that point, for a day's "work" a week).

He was also getting free college tuition from the government and wore very nice clothing.
