This is the largest refugee crisis since the end of WWII. The terrors that sent these people fleeing from their native countries, and their plight, are terrible. But, there is no way Europe can absorb so many refugees without further human toll--on the refugees, and on native populations in Europe and their political institutions. This is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
Plus the fact that huge numbers are economic migrants and not genuine asylum seekers. Europe is an overpopulated landmass, most of the EU member States are still recovering from the global recession, jobs, housing and welfare support are just not there to accommodate mass influxes of people.
For the genuine cases of people fleeing ISIS controlled southern Syria and northern Iraq It's a travesty that the likes of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are refusing to take anyone. These are rich Arab nations who should be lending a hand.
