U.N. warns of millions more refugees
Reuters ^ | 11 September 2015

The United Nations called for the swift creation of large-scale reception centers in frontline states such as Hungary and Greece, and one U.N. agency warned that millions more refugees could arrive in Europe if Syria's civil war continues to rage.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said his country, which expects to take in 800,000 asylum seekers this year alone, had finite resources and urged other European countries to do much more to share the burden.

He said Germany expected to receive another 40,000 migrants this weekend. And as politicians from the left and right accused Chancellor Angela Merkel's government of losing control of the refugee situation, the defense ministry put 4,000 troops on standby to help with the influx.

Citing security concerns, Austria partially shut a highway linking Vienna and Hungary on Friday. Some 8,000 people had crossed the border on Thursday and a further 4,500 arrived overnight, Austrian police said. The rail link to Hungary also remains shut due to "massive overburdening" by the migrants.

In Geneva, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said it was sending pre-fabricated housing units to provide temporary overnight shelter for 300 families in Hungary but also expressed concern over Budapest's tough approach, including the possible deployment of troops to tackle the crisis.

Seal the borders.

Everywhere.

Give orders to use live ammunition against any man, woman or child attempting to come across.

Well, the Hungarians in particular might have something to say about that. My advice to the Hungarians: Buy lots of concertina wire, and I mean hundreds of miles of it, and I mean right away.

I am like this ........

If we don’t believe the situation merits us, our allies, and the refugees going to war, we shouldn’t deem them refugees.

There is nowhere on earth where muslims have peacefully coexisted with Jews or infidels.

We don’t need any more here.

I really think you are correct. Merkel is talking about allowing 800,000 "refugees" per year. Not total, per year. Given Europe's insane open borders policy, that will affect the other countries as much as it will affect Germany.

I'm a 2 issue voter: immigration and debt. Can't help but look at every crime and ask myself, "is that guy/gal an illegal?"

But at least the border jumpers here are Christian on the whole, except for what the moron-in-chief special flys in.

Imagine if all 40 million illegals were mulsim??? (I don't trust govt nbrs)

I have long said that Europe was heading for another round of genocide.

I thought that if it happened "soon", the Europeans would kill the Muslims.
And if it happened "later", the Muslims would kill the Europeans.

I'm pretty sure that it is now "later".

Any politician that votes to let these people into this country or sits back and allows Obama to do it solo needs to be fired at the next available election. They need to be tarred and feathered and then run out of town on a rail in fact but that has fallen out of favor unfortunately.
