Germany starts Syrian migration debate after Assad's fall | DW News

"More than half of young Arabs in north Africa and the Levant say they are actively trying to emigrate or considering leaving their home countries" - Reported by the FT. This is the reason they will not return home.

[@Coriolanable]

There is no such thing as an excuse for staying in Europe. . The prisoners being freed from Assad's prisons have shown the monstrous regime of Assad. And it remains to be seen whether IS is still there.

[@antunmcmagnais8856]

That's right. He's an armchair warrior at best. He, along with hundreds of thousands of other fighting age men, simply ran, leaving sisters and mothers to fend for themselves. What he wants is to stay in Germany, but have Syria as a place to visit once and only once it looks like it did before the civil war erupted, which, frankly speaking, is decades away if ever. No. They're not going home because the concept of home for his ilk is anywhere, but home.

[@asmirann3636]

You are right but that is how colonization works. Anglos had no reasons to be in Australia but they wanted to steal the land and resources. So all of these excuses were made up such as escaping poverty, war and persecution. Overtime so many millions of Anglos and Europeans migrated that they completely pushed away the Natives.

If Germany is starting a debate, then its conclusion will come soon, probably around 2035. Then, after the results of this debate have been approved, it will be possible to start drawing the appropriate conclusions. Thanks to this, quite quickly, no later than 2040, it will be possible to prepare the appropriate regulations, which the Bundestag will try to approve at an express pace (which means definitely by the end of 2050, or possibly in the first half of 2051). Then only the consent of the Supreme Court and the document can be sent to Brussels. There, after discussion and agreement, everything will be implemented already in 2055, unless someone protests the procedure, but then the whole process will certainly start all over again. And this unwavering perseverance will finally lead to the desired goal at the beginning of the 22nd century. So get to work! Good luck, friends!
