The principal reasons why many nations oppose immigration are:-
- wages will come down, as immigrants will take lower paid jobs
- they abuse welfare systems that they've made no contribution to
- often, they refuse to assimilate - insisting on keeping their own cultures, even laws
- crime levels rise on their arrival
- the threat of terrorism increases
Despite these concerns, people like Dr Merkel have made bold and strong humanitarian decisions.
And very unpopular ones...

Jean-Claude Juncker, anyone?
Elected yes - by the Member States.
The latter being European countries/governments (like ours) - voted in by the electorates.
Cameron wasn't keen on him though, as JCJ is a straight talker and thinker with - being from a very small country - no hidden agenda.

most of the comments on here against immigration and even asylum seekers are ridiculous and the same old stuff wheeled out time and time again over decades.
Except for JK who I admire for his beliefs which co-incide with mine (a good example of JK's sheer brilliance )
How many of you shop at a Westfield ? (JK does)
Built and owned by a former Haganah member (deemed terrorists by the British government) Sir Frank Lowy possibly Australia's richest billionaire who arrived in Australia as a penniless refugee.
Lowy's partner in Westfield was another refugee the late John Saunders (no idea what his Polish Jewish name really was) who was the only well known businessman to send a wreath to my father's funeral- seeing it was my dad as a British bank representative in Oz looking for business opportunities funded Saunders and Lowy (and dozens of potless Italian immigrants) as he correctly perceived that these people coming from dreadful murderous situations and arriving in a land where they were free were more likely to work hard and make a success.
He was spot on and he got a Gold Watch back in the UK when he retired.
Today's refugess / immigrants are no different.
How many brilliant people are you turning away by having this fixed attitude that treats people as possible threats?
Sir Gustav Nossil another Aussie fleeing from the Nazis who eventually won the Nobel Prize with his brilliant work on immunology.
The Chinese Australian Victor Chang the brilliant heart surgeon (sadly murdered) who Princess Diana chose as her last public appearance to launch a charity in his honour..Australia is full of Asian and Chinese students who top every school and university honors...
The Australian research unit the CSIRO peopled by refugees who fled Europe after WW2 and invented WIFI... WIFI for God's Sake !...and dozens of other inventions like my favourite.. permanent pleat pants.
why are you allowing your views on immigrants / refugees to be formed by the absolute gutter of British citizens who think a career criminal like "Tommy Robinson" somehow has a brain and who parade their phony "patriotism" (waving idiotic St George flags) and then off to the pub for a booze-up and bash the missus when you get home?
Honestly I think there is a new generation who don;t realize Alf Garnet was a send up

I am horrified at the selfish attitude of "we need them to work in the health service".
So let them come so long as we get something out of it?
Never mind that a lot of migrant people are FORCED to leave their own countries because conditions are so terrible.
And, those people who can move countries are the more able and (comparatively) wealthy.
Sod the others that cant get out then?
We are using the fitter, smarter, richer and healthier people for our own benefit, and leaving the more vulnerable, elderly, sick, and poor to fend for themselves, when the aim should be to make the situation better for people in their own country.
As long as WE are alright, (Jack) who cares?
