> You can't blame genuine refugees for wanting to goto countries where they have the best opportunity of leaving a normal life.
And there lies the crux of the problem: many - if not most - of these migrants want to lead a 'normal life' among people of their own ethnic group, from their own background,
speaking their own language and perpetuating their own culture. A culture which is often diametrically the opposite from that in which they landed. They don't want to 'integrate' or 'assimilate', they want to be amongst their peers. While this is understandable, it is a recipe for disaster as a quick look at eg. Malmö/Rinkeby/etc in Sweden, the banlieux in Paris, Schilderswijk in The Hague (etc) shows. It leads to segregation, unemployment due to language barriers, increased crime rates due to the latter as well as due to cultural differences (see the 'rape epidemic' in Sweden) and more such destabilising problems.
