While admitting vast waves of Middle Eastern refugees does present very real security concerns, I don't think it's fair to take an "us first" approach in response. Without cheapening the tragedy of what happened in Paris, this attack should remind us what some of these refugees face on a daily basis. Terrorist attacks in Syria, Israel, Jordan, etc barely even make the news in the West because of their frequency. You then propose to deny those who flee safe harbor, as if they brought these attacks in like some sort of contagion?I mean you make it painfully clear that you know absolutely nothing about the situation some european countries are in. Denmark is already far over capacity, so is sweden, infact sweden is trying to reallocate a lot of the refugees they have already taken in. And only more are coming.
The attacks on Paris are shocking for the Western world because they reminded us that no one is really safe and that anyone could be attacked. Ignoring the refugee crisis and turning them away won't keep you or me safe.
We cannot support any more refugees and the security regarding letting the refugees into europe are atm a pineappleing joke.
So why exactly should my country continue to burden itself when we've already taken in a pomegranateload of refugees? We simply can't help more people. I mean i can't really put this nicely but refugees are overall a resource sink, they cost countries a LOT of money to take in and take care of, Denmark is not a huge country with a massive economy to support a super high number of refugees. There's a reason denmark as a country has been making it harder and harder to get into denmark and cut further and further back on the support immigrants and refugees get, because we simply can't afford helping people the way we used to.
So yes, i'm taking an 'us first' approach, i want denmark to focus on itself, i want denmark to focus on its own citizens and the refugees we have ALREADY taken in. I want my country to not collapse because we took in refugees we couldn't realistically support.
I don't think this should be hard to understand.
