Europe and the refugees

Whatever it said, there're multiples reasons for welcome with the maximum generosity the hundreds of thousands of people that, since the break out of the refugees crisis, are seeking asylum in Europe. It's not about migrants: it is about fugitives fleeing of a violent death and fleeing of the war in their countries.

The first reason for to host these desperate people is moral, is completely wretched having thousands and thousands of people, including elderly, women and children, dying of cold, hunger and diseases in our borders in the same way that there isn’t any human form of justifying that more than three thousand people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean. Allow this daily apocalypse is equivalent to throw in the trash the reason “of be Europe”. The second reason for welcome refugees would be legal: what is happening now and what starts almost a year ago is a clear violation not only of the Human Right Declarations of 1948, but also of the Refugee Convention of 1951 and of the European Convention on Human Rights of 1953; refusing to grant to these people the right of having rights put us out of the law. A third reason could be a political one: with the asylum policy that we are showing, we are proving and suppose a confirmation that liberty, equality and fraternity of western rhetoric is just that, a rhetoric, nothing, an instrument for show off. And finally, another reason could be an economic one: some relevant economist warn that we need refugees almost as much as they need us because in countries as our countries, aged and with very low birth rates, refugees will be who will pay our pensions.

There are much more reasons for host refugees (without having in account the common sense; we can put a door in a country, we can’t put a door in the middle of a field). What is safe and what is clear is that the Europe reputation is in danger, like the values on which this state has been built (political freedom, religious tolerance and law equality).

I think that the Europe of the future should be reconstructed as it was done at the begging; assimilating what is not Europe, assimilating other cultures, other lifestyles and other values and converting them in Europeans. In this way, we will become a free society, more prosper and more peaceful: a society in which all want to live, in which all want to look like.
