The majority of immigrants (and I'd dare say 99.9% of illegal immigrants) come to prosperous countries like the US, UK, Germany, etc. because their life is utterly awful and they see this migration as a way to fix that. What makes this situation different? Because this news story comes with sad pictures? Without the sad pictures you'd be screaming about how your jobs are being taken away.
I'm not referring to anybody here, unless you fit the description of who I'm referring to.

He then goes on to say that he never had any help in life, even from his parents and had to do everything for himself. Apparently having to make your own way in a privileged country and risking death to escape a war torn country is the same thing.

Immigration can still be a problem, cause problems, and effect others, and a person can be against a lot of things. It doesn't change the fact that seeing a little child in this situation should make -anyone- with a microscopic shred of humanity feel upset.
UTK wrote:Yes, and a lot of immigrants find themselves in situations like the boy in the picture. But since there's no sad pictures of them, their problems don't matter or don't exist.

What an utter cunt. People like him don't know they're even born. He has lived a privileged life from the start because he was fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy first world country. I would like to see him try and 'do everything for himself' and get himself into the same position he is in today if he were born in a country like Syria.

I would like to see what half the people complaining would do if they were ever put in such an awful situation through no fault of their own.
