Speaking to the Huffington Post this week, Michael Møller described his dissatisfaction with response to Europe’s migrant crisis, specifically taking aim at the media for failing to “educate” the public, and calling for schools to “educat[e] the youth for the problems… of tomorrow.”
But amongst his critique of the Western response to the migrant crisis, the Director-General lets slip two major points often dismissed by open borders campaigners:
1. The migrants from Syria are not fleeing because of the Syrian war:
Mr. Møller says the main reason people are leaving Syria “isn’t the crippling violence in the country”, the HuffPo reports.
“The number one reason why people leave Syria is not the bombs or the food or the cold, it’s because they want to find educational opportunities for their children,” he explains.
This would mean that most of the Syrian migrants would fall under the category of “economic migrants” rather than “refugees” – a point that Mr. Møller even clarifies later in the interview.
He says: “To put it very bluntly, every refugee is a migrant. Not every migrant is a refugee. It’s quite clear actually.”
2. Gulf countries have not taken a single migrant/refugee
While this point is hotly contested by the governments of countries like Saudi Arabia, it didn’t stop the UN chief making the claim.
Mr. Møller told the HuffPo he wants “greater international solidarity”, stating: “There’s absolutely no reason why places like Canada and the United States, Australia, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, even Asian countries who we helped not that long ago, shouldn’t take many more of these people. Not to speak about the countries in the Gulf who haven’t taken a single one.”
Speaking of the press reaction to the crisis, he has claimed that not enough has been done to report favourable stories about the migrant crisis. ...
Love it. Mr. Moller doesn't think the globalist press is pro-invasion enough. Another problem is caused by the "billion" opinions on the Internet. Yes, I bet. The same problem Conservative Inc and its former media monopoly--National Review for your birdcage anyone?--has been having with Trump supporters. [smirk]
