EU to send €1 billion in aid to Lebanon to curb migration | DW News

The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced a 1-billion euro aid package for Lebanon and urged it to tackle illegal migration to the EU. She's meeting with Prime Minister Najim Mikati as well as Nicos Christodoulides - the president of EU member Cyprus. Because of its location in the Mediterranean, Cyprus is dealing with a sharp increase in the number of Syrian refugees arriving by boat from Lebanon -- and has lobbied the EU for months to extend aid to the cash-strapped country. Lebanon currently hosts more than two million Syrians -- over half of whom have entered the country illegally - fueling tensions with local communities. We speak to DW's Beirut Bureau Chief Mohamad Chreyteh, and Brussels Correspondent Teri Schultz. A WARNING that some viewers may find images in this report disturbing.

    Because you want money, thats why you work. If you are working above average hours thats because you want even more money, no one is forcing you. You could go to wild and live off nature. But you want money since you enjoy luxuries that todays system and society offers to you. Like health care, wide variety of food, clean drinkable water and hot water. Dont take everything for granted. Those people dont have even 10% of what you have. I am not pro migration, but stop playing victim.

    Instead of giving the money to Lebanon why didn't they just give the money to Cyprus to vet the immigrants. Allowing the ones that turn out to be useful(can help the EU economy with their skills) for the EU and safe of course. The rest they put back on a bout and deport them. Why must we accept every person that crossed the border? And one very important thing if you want to stay in Germany, for example, then you must accept and adopt German customs and culture. In other words fully integrate into German society. If you fail to do so in some predefined amount of time you will be deported. This way the EU will avoid what happened in France to a teacher teaching his class about free speech!

    i do not now exactly what you mean with integration but i can tell you a thing or two about german integration both here in the US and in Argentina.... neither went that well the first 50 years or so. They refused to learn the language and customs of their new homeland. These events are very well documented.

    @@leonardoorellano6652 I mean exactly that. If someone wants to come live in your country permanently(obtain citizenship) then he/she must learn your language, your customs, with time you couldn't tell he wasn't a native. If someone wants to come to your country for tourism or work then no need to integrate. It is sufficient to just obey the law. Now I'm not familiar with the example you gave with the Germans in the US or in Argentina but it sounds to me they would have to be deported under my definition of immigration above. Now people might say that my views on immigration would violate some human rights but remember the country you are immigrating to is not forcing you to integrate, you are free to go somewhere else. Unlike what, for example, the Ottomans did in the Balkans centuries ago.

    The University in Kiel published a research just last year showing aid does not really curb migration, simply reduces it temporarily. However these politicians only need to be re-elected once every 4-5 years. Once re-elected, they do not care if migration starts again till the next election cycle.
