As yet it's but a proposal which must be approved by EU member states. That the other member states will allow immigrants to be shipped over is very unlikely. Some people feel that it would be unfair for some nations to allow refugees to enter their country then send them elsewhere.

The countries in Southern Europe where many of the refugees land, most notably Greece, Italy and Malta, are also pushing hard for other member states to help alleviate the pressure on them.

Illegal migrants getting into Europe from the war torn Middle East and some parts of Africa has become a huge problem which must be addressed because refugees can't be sent back to wherever it is they came from. Stopping smugglers could be a much better solution than distributing illegal immigrants across Europe.

What do you think would be the best way to solve this problem?

Personally I don't think this is a long term solution, it's more of a temporary fix before something else can be put in place.

The trouble with that, is that sometimes these temporary fixes can be in place for a number of years and they slowly become more accepted.

Surely the solution is to stop the smuggling in the first place. If people don't have the option to leave a country, they're less likely to try?
 
Should this proposal actually be approved then it's going to cause some serious problems. Are there enough jobs for every qualified European worker? No.

So where are the illegal immigrants going to get jobs? Would employers prefer to hire illegal immigrants because they'll get to pay them lower wages? What then will follow when the some "Natives" don't get jobs because they have been taken by immigrants?

I believe that the reason some European countries object to immigration is because their people know that their wages will have to be slashed because migrants provide cheaper labor and their employers will use that as leverage to get [the Natives] to accept what's offered.

To avoid social unrest the EU should focus on stopping the smugglers.
 
And that's exactly my point. Here in the UK, immigration is a massive problem at the moment, and the last thing we need is another few thousand being dumped on us.

What sort of guidelines and rules will a policy like this use? Will it go off the size if a country as to how many it should take? Will it go off how much that country is worth?

I don't see how there will be a fair way to distribute illegal immigrants, well, certainly not one where the UK won't be stuffed over by the EU again anyway...
 
At Least Europeans are not turning the boats back like Australia's Prime Minister. Migrants to the USA and Australia have not lower wages. Both have high wages despite high immigration.

This is not true, at least not in America. We've had an increase in legal and illegal immigration over the last 20 years and wages aren't what they once were in areas where these immigrants have settled. Skilled workers do alright, unless their industry is infested with H1B visa holders, but the lower skill levels are taking a hammering.
 
Being from the UK, I would actually love to be able to turn the boats around and send them back personally.

The country needs an immigration policy like the Australian's have, nobody is accusing Australia of being a racist country, while here, mention immigration and your automatically called a racist.

Tell people that you voted for UKIP and your lumped in with the BNP and the far right, when that is far from the case.
 
Centrehalf, In Australia we have a basic wage. It is enforced by the government. We have strong unions. While there may be temporary migrants who work for lower wages it is only for a short time. When found by governments they are amended. Permanent migrants receive the same wages as other Australians.
pwarbi, The turn back the boats policy works here as most migrants come from Indonesia. We can turn the boats back to Indonesia where there is no harm to the migrants. To turn back the boats to an African country which is at war would harm the migrants. It is also against the UN charter.
Burning the boats and punishing the people smugglers would be better but you have to find who are the smugglers.
 
Well it's definitely something that needs to be looked at and changed then, because the rest of Europe, the UK in particular, can't take any more immigrants. The welfare system we have in place, is being bled dry.

How can people that haven't paid into the pot, be allowed to take anything out of it?

And this might have something to do with why your country will always convince itself that your wannabe immigrants will be just fine if sent back home. Other countries should accept them, in fact have an obligation to accept them, but not yours though. Your situation is different.

Centrehalf, I am not saying I agree with the turn back the boats policy in Australia. But our government and most people do.
