Biggest news stories nowadays are related with ‘refugees’
from Syria and few other countries. Naturally lots of people immediately felt
sorry for them and started donating or judging some EU countries who limited
migrant flow. I wrote ‘refugees’ as most of these people in my opinion are
purely economic migrants who don’t really run from war, but look for better
life and countries with biggest social support that’s the reason why instead of
choosing countries good for working people like Croatia, Hungary, Czech
republic they are desperate to reach Germany, Sweden or UK. Nothing different
from economic migrants in Europe. This situation is one of the reasons why I didn’t
get emotional about ‘sad, scared, poor people running from war’ propaganda. I ran
myself looking for better life but since I was planning to work, not rely on
social support, Czech Republic was just perfect choice. UK social support
system is so poorly organized that looks soon one working person there will
support two-three freeloaders. I understand
Hungary and Croatia protecting their boarders from people who just complains
and trashes their territory and rarely even says ‘thank you’. Protecting oneself
or family is not the reason to expect everything to be handled on silver plate.
I wonder what will be long term effect of this influx. Mix
of nationalities and religions – for sure. But how it will affect social
support and job markets? Are most of EU countries ready? I just think that
forcing quotas are definitely not best way to deal with situation –some
countries simply don’t have resources to provide enough support for such huge
amounts of people. Some, like Serbia
just forces people into neighbors and then complains about their lack of
enthusiasm. I read that lots of people were very judgmental about Hungary’s decision
to build fence, but in my opinion that’s best way to protect country from being
trashed. Country shouldn’t suffer purely for being on borderline of EU.
