Just spent some time crunching the numbers and the number of migrants (6 million) is the equivelant of the number of working age people in the UK that were classed as capable of work in 2017 (OK I didn't get the actual number but I took a third of all adults who were out of work which will do). I think Sweden is said to have a 16% migrant population so what's stopping the rest of the west from taking on more?


Because the current government won't let them all come to England.
I'm not sure that is a reason.

Migrants are "working strength". Thay do everything for less money.

@jackg I did some digging and found out that UK is the home to 1% of the world’s refugees, and further each year more and more refugees are applying for their citizenship. Also it’s not always a bad idea to take in the refugees, because Germany has benefited from allowing refugees to come, and live in their country. Lastly @Jet Cash I don’t doubt your words since you live in UK, but can you be more specific as to why you feel, that UK won’t let refugees come to UK?.
