Aren't we thankful for the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and a very cold Canada up north?

And they want to welcome them here with open arms. I didn't see one woman or child or any older people.

At least the government, yes our government is smart enough to have vetting that takes over a year, but conservaterr0rists want to shut down the government.

Well...

How the hell can they vet them with no documentation or government?

Right. You can't. Obama is blowing smoke and mirrors.

It's a mess. You understand then the UK politics and the rise of UKIP. You can literally see Calais from the white cliffs in Dover.

It's true there are no women, children or older people but I don't have enough context to form an opinion.

Short: I don't KNOW what those guys do on the street, what their purpose is, what they want. The video doesn't explain the context, and it just shows those guys.

There are camps in the background, are those guys from the camps and maybe have left children and women behind in the camp?

As said, unable to form an opinion here since I am not sure what's going on.

Just judging from the video, they don't "look" like "refugees", but rather what we in Europe call "autonomous", eg. folks who go out rioting. Some even have masks on.

What % of news broadcasts about the migration crisis feature shots of women and children on US and European Media? What % of the discussion?

I have seen similar (though fewer in #) on the roads in my area. I'm not gonna say where I live but the image was identical, young men and every once in a while a woman.

Usually carrying phones and taking selfies in front of interesting houses on the side of the road or just walking on the side of the road. The place I see them, there are no camps nearby. It is in the middle of nowhere, migrating from one place to another is the only explanation.

all background checks are going to be profiling of one sort or another. there is no documentation to go by, so you either profile people based on an interview or you profile them based on other factors.

people are purposely not carrying documentation.

Refugee's have become a big business. We spent $1 billion last year on bringing them in. The two biggest players of nine major contractors in the biz are Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services. Once they get the initial wave settled, they then get reimbursed to bring in the relatives of that wave. BTW that $1 billion number does not include TANF, food stamps, housing, utility bills, health care, SSI and all the rest, that's just the price tag associated with the resettlement contractors.

Additionally, the definition of refugee has been bastardized beyond any reasonable form of recognition. Those that wish to come here know that if they say a few key words, that they will be given passage and that a bureaucratically overwhelmed system will essentially swallow them up without a second thought.

How does this benefit the nation? What exactly drives the need for more dependent people? It's truly nice to be humanitarian. It's noble and righteous. But is there a limit? When jobs are scarce and money is tight and budgets are out of control, is there a point where enough is enough? When does practicality supersede emotion?

Right and the alleged vetting discussed by Obama and the White House is all just smoke and mirrors. In plain words it is just bull shit.

We already know they're fucking cowards or they'd be fighting for themselves in their own country. You get hurt fighting ISIS or Assad then we'll talk about giving you refugee status, but not before.

There is no freedom of assembly in France, the camp at Calais exists at the whim of the government. The camp will be shut down the day the French government finds it no longer politically useful to have it there.

I'm amazed that the french are so emasculated that they have allowed that camp to continue for this long.

Soft targets... we're easy pickings.
You call them cowards, I call them smarter than the guys dying in the desert.

I kept rooting for those trucks to open up and for 100 goons with baseball bats to spill out of the back of each one.


There is something unbelievably ironic though about listening to a Frenchman yelling at other people to go home and fight.
