Nato should protect greece and southern europeans from these migrants.
its a clear attack against the stability and the integrity of those states, those migrants dont just come once they are inside they start stealing and crime sometimes even murdering locals until the society starts to desintegrate.
why is nato completely sleeping on this are they drunken?
So what the Greeks think about it? are they calling for NATO?
I'm Greek but I've lived Outside of Greece for 10 years.
I think that we should keep an open mind. As long at the laws are being upheld, we're very far away from a malthusian situation. Greece like a lot of the luckier countries is not in a terrible crisis at the moment.
Things will only get worse for people in the middle east thanks to climate change. Since we're luckier we should do what we can to accept immigrants into our country. My current country is the US and I think the same about here.
Some immigrants will commit crime. They start out in a real shitty situation. But in total I think they are a positive thing. I don't see a cultural threat due to immigrants. Greece has an awesome culture and even if we got millions of immigrants in the country that wouldn't change.
Hell, we get millions of tourists every summer and things work out fine.
Edit:
grammar +
If we're talking Syrian immigrants I had one in my class growing up and he was awesome. I remember one day he gave me some of his food, and even though Greek food is probably the best in the world his stuff was also really, really good. He's cool, he's got tons of friends and still lives in Athens.
are you stupid? among those migrants there are also many hateful racists islamists and other haters, that simply don't want to work at home, a society needs labour to be fruitful for all, refugees aren't necessarily labour they could have also come legaly with a work visa.
europe block off these migrants is also helping the development of those noneuropean countries they came from because their labour actually stays there.
We're all people. The idea that they can somehow take over society and destroy a country is far-right fear-mongering. In truth they are a net benefit to society. The rules won't change. Just more diversity in the crowd.
In my experience immigrants were more fun to hangout than racists.
Even in a small village up in the mountains, I met an Albanian, well respected in the community and part of it. Now Imagine that all over Greece but with Syrians. I don't see how it makes Greece any worse.
To your points. There are going to be bigots among the immigrants, just like the native population. Hopefully if the culture goes right these people will become more secular.
As for immigrants not being fruitful labor, you're probably eating vegetables grown by immigrants and enter buildings and drive on roads that were build by illegal immigrant labor. A lot of people immigrate illegally simply to find work.
I bet the reason they don't have legal status to work is because the system failed them. I respect the lengths that these people take to get what we take for granted.
The only point where I'd advocate for a military like defense of the borders would be if it was a legit invasion. And I know you probably get a ha**on just thinking about shooting brown people but this is not what's happening here.
