Because the current government won't let them all come to England.
My main point was that Europe should try to unite and make some sort of task force. It's not enough to just take the ones that make it to Greece and claim asylum there or further.
In this circumstance, if the UK took a mere 1 million refugees itd do quite a lot and wouldn't be that expensive for refugees (they are allowed to work and receive half of the unemployment benefits the unemployed receive).
@juggy777, every country (in Europe) has to take refugees if they come within their terratory so the UK already accepts a lot that way. (to be in English terratory, they have to be in the sea from France on the east side of the channel afaik.
I'm not sure that is a reason.
Migrants are "working strength". Thay do everything for less money.
You'd think walking 100s of miles would be proof enough of their working capabilities - not to mention if they've made it to the UK they've managed to travel 2000 miles at least.
