But there was some hoaxes, so we shouldn't worry about it.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands: the government facilitates reuniting Syrian asylum seekers (who are already here) and their underaged spouses. Television station RTV Noord has seen documents from the Immigration Agency and found that two 13-year old girls and two 14-year old girls are on their way to their "husbands". A 15-year old girl is on her way to her 38-year old Syrian "husband". The Netherlands apparently recognizes child marriages as long as they have been contracted abroad.

Healthcare workers have criticized this policy, stating that many of these girls are traumatized and that the government is allowing girls to be sexually abused. "These girls need help", one healthcare worker told RTV Noord.

Despicable.

A CDA motion in parliament to stop recognizing child marriages was rejected by a majority of VVD, PvdA, GroenLinks and Group Kuzu/Öztürk (PvdA splitoff).

You are not welcoming enough, you need to adapt to them, not the other way around....

Guess you won't be woting Greens any time soon..

Is this real life?

    Just read another story about migrants returning to the middle east from Germany.  The migrants usually mention how they were told by the human smugglers that life in Germany would be paradise, with big houses, good jobs available, and then they find that that's not the case.  I wonder how many migrants would have come had they known the truth from the beginning.  I don't like reading about migrants who are trying to get home who have to scrape up the money to do so.
  The European governments need to do a better job of making sure that anyone who wants to go home should be given free tickets home, plus, ideally a repatriation bonus.  A repatriation culture should be developing.  Hopefully over time this will emerge with positive results for everyone involved.  A win win situation.

Austria launches a massive TV, radio, internet (social media) ad, billboard poster campaign in Afghanistan to deter possible economic migrants from coming here.

1 of 4 posters:

https://twitter.com/Migration_Oe/status/704628326405705728

...

The posters in English:

"Smugglers are lying ! Inform yourself ! Austria's asylum law now even tougher !"

"Smugglers are lying ! Inform yourself ! Asylum is now only temporary anymore."

"Smugglers are lying ! Inform yourself ! No family reunions without enough income (of the Afghan person already in Austria)."

"Smugglers are lying ! Inform yourself ! Family reunions only possible after 3 years."

[Tender Branson]

They should have added another poster though which reads:

"If you come to Austria for economic reasons, you will be swiftly deported ! Don't waste your time !"

[Tender Branson]

The ad campaign will then be expanded to Morocco, Algeria and Libya - where many illegals (=economic migrants) have recently come from to claim asylum here - often without papers (which they destroyed) and falsely posing as Syrian/Iraqi war refugees.

[Tender Branson]

Apparently, the Austrian campaign is similar to an earlier Australian campaign:



This Aussie poster uses the exact same words as an Austrian Far-Right group:

Its a very tough issues with a lot of emotional outcomes for families.

Australia has been very successful in managing Syrian refugees.

Since a change of government 3 years (?) ago;

(1) Number of Syrian refugees arrived by boat = zero.

(2) Number of economic Afghan, Sri Lankan, Iraqi, Iranian and similar muslim national refugees arrived by boat = zero.

(3) Number of new children in detention = zero.

(4) Number of actual asylum seeking refugees from Syrian warzone flown here by the government taken=12,000

We have offshore detention and we are working on resettling some refugees in muslim countries like Malaysia and Indonesia.

So what has happened is the Australian opposition party who had a more "Angela Merkel" approach during their tenure attracted boat people resulting in 2,200 drownings at sea for potential asylum seekers.

So all of the children in detention were put there by the former government, who are now in opposition.

So stopping the economic refugee flow has resulted in:

No deaths at sea; and
We can now fly to Syria and choose genuine refugees;
No money for Indonesian human traffickers.

In an amazing political backflip, the opposition party has no argument, because all of the sad issues which dominate this thread were caused by having their relaxed immigration policy.

Now things are managed more strictly, we have no drownings at sea and no new children in detention.

Great news. I detest both.

The message we have sent out is that Australia will not setltle you if you arrive illegally by boat. If you are seeking asylum, apply through the normal channels like everyone else. Get in the queue.

And ever since that message was broadcast, the number of economic refugees has been zero.

Once you take the carrot away, the economic refugees will not come.

Australia has been successful stopping the boats, but very poor at integrating the African and Middle Eastern refugees who now live here.

Unemployment rates and social security dependence on our latest refugee arrivals is astronomical compared to your average.

So there is vigourous debate about immigration policy.

I think what has happened in Syria is appalling. Very surprised that the muslim population are not resettled in muslim countries nearby.

Anyone sensing the slightest bit of Schadenfreude amongst the Macedonians in regards to the Greeks? (I mean, if I was Macedonian I'd feel nothing but contempt for the Greeks, so I understand why).

[DavidB.]

Former GroenLinks MP and one-time contender for the party leadership Tofik Dibi (who lost his seat in 2012) is a gay Muslim. Yesterday he appeared in political talkshow Pauw and talked about gay asylum seekers, who will now be accommodated in different places because of the ongoing violence against them in regular asylum seeker centers. Dibi, however, thinks that gay asylum seekers do not only fear homophobic fellow asylum seekers, but most of all Dutch people demonstrating against asylum seeker centers. "These bruises will just disappear in time", Dibi said, referring to anti-gay violence in asylum seekers. How a supposedly progressive politician manages to utter these words is beyond me.

A new Unique Research poll for "Heute" newspaper shows that a full 73% of Austrians support the new SPÖVP government policy on asylum seekers and economic migrants, with 25% opposed.

Incl. 89% of FPÖ voters, 79% of ÖVP and 72% of SPÖ voters. 63% of Green voters are opposed.

The new measures (as we all know) included Faymann and Co. finally dumping Merkel's silly welcome policy, introducing border controls at the Southern border, an upper limit of how many migrants can enter, more and faster deportations of illegal economic migrants, organizing a Balkan summit which led to Macedonia sealing their border to Greece to stop the flow north and an ad campaign in countries like Afghanistan, Morocco, Algeria etc. to prevent more illegals heading north.

Ok, guys - crisis solved. Migrants will no longer come to Europe.

[Tender Branson]

It seems the EU has agreed on a plan to shut down the Balkan route for migrants (or to significantly reduce the flow there) and basically adopted Austria's policy (after Merkel and Germany failed to lead the way).

Well, I guess someone had to step up the game and if it means Austria, I'm fine with it. Mugwump Merkel should better stay out of the matter and go back to what she's good at: managing the German economy, instead of risking Europe's security with her social engineering through a reckless, uncontrolled mass immigration policy.

A year ago, I was ridiculed by the leftist haters on here and now the EU is exactly doing the same thing I have advocated a long time. I now accept my accolades from you naive haters

The excesses I warned you about are now starting in full force:

Hey Tender Branson, a question for you


what if a syrian refugee who happened to be a cute girl asked you out on a date? would you accept?

[Tender Branson]

Hey Tender Branson, a question for you

what if a syrian refugee who happened to be a cute girl asked you out on a date? would you accept?

In the very unlikely event this happens ... yes, of course.

But, what exactly has this to do with my postings ?

It's not that I'm against taking in Syrian refugees, I just want the high number of migrants (many of them illegal economic migrants posing as war refugees and/or terrorists) reduced to a sustainable level.

And by sustainable level, I mean 15.000-20.000 a year for Austria - instead of the 90.000 last year.

The Balkan-route is now basically closed, with Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia all blocking their borders and not letting any further migrants through.

Greece is about to dismantle the camp at their Macedonia border and transport the migrants who camp there into the interior of the country (where they are safe, for pete's sake !).

Austrian foreign minister Kurz: "The Balkan route is now closed. And that's good. We needed to act and shut down the route because the main reason people were drowning and dying was the fact that Europe acted like a magnet for migrants."

Well said ...

Why the hassle? Simply anyone who is caught spreading Sharia and making others obey it should be deported, no questions asked. And this could be done, just like Hungary didn't let Refugges through this could be done.

After all, it is the Extreme Green/Red Leftists who brought you this.

If something drastic does not change, in 10 years some parts of Vienna will be off limits to police and any other goverment service, just like in Malmo or like some zones in Paris, France.

Östersund police advise women not to walk around on their own at night, but don't worry, the police chief had this to say

he went on to add that maybe they wouldn't get raped so much if they didn't wear such short skirts.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Hard to ignore these data:

http://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/world-economy/cologne-is-every-day-europes-rape-epidemic/news-story/e2e618e17ad4400b5ed65045e65e141d

Economic migrants are not just coming for the money. These migrants are viewing women not dressed according to islamic standards as prostitutes who can be legally raped.

Tough to read, and hard to imagine what the Germans and Swedes will do about it.

Either way, right wing groups are surging in a political sense.
