  1. Whatā€™s the difference between immigrants and refugees?
    Immigrants are qualified people withĀ financial abilityĀ fortunes or skills. The requirements by governments ensure that the immigrants wonā€™t be a burden to the society. But refugees areĀ people whoĀ donā€™t possessĀ financial stabilityĀ fortune or skills, they need support from the receiving countries.
  2. To refugees we both have sympathy. But we must be clear about the definition of refugees. Simply speaking, refugees are people who have a very strong reason to leave where they are.Ā These reasons include the riskĀ of political persecutionĀ orĀ loss of life.Ā Ā or they will have risk of lives or political persecution. People who are not under any such risks and are just seeking forĀ an improved living situation shouldn’t be regarded as refugees.Ā want to improve their living level and break into other countries without permission shouldnā€™t be regarded as refugees. They are stowaways.Ā These people are illegal immigrants.Ā I want to live in the USA or Australia, but if I just break into these countries or stay there over my valid visa, do would theseĀ the countries welcome me?
  3. In developed Western countries, there are currently many cases of immigrants applying for false/inauthentic refugee status.Ā 
    And there is a badĀ sitautionĀ phenomenon all over the rich countries in developed Western countries, especially in the top western countries, that many illegals apply for their identities with fake refugee reason. The USA has a huge troubleĀ problem with this.
    Seeking asylum: éæ难 = safety, shelter and basic supplies
    If there is no real cause for immigrants to enter a country under refugee status, then they should not seek asylum from developed countries.Ā 
    If thisĀ illegal immigration is unacceptable, why do some people just say they are refugees and show no proofs and just walk into another country and ask for accomodation, even house and money? Such situations areĀ Look what is happening in Germany and Northern Europe. Some of my friends have come backĀ to China just because of the numerous crimes committed byĀ these so-called ā€˜refugeesā€™.3, Even to theĀ forĀ real (genuine) refugees, we still need to answer this question: what is the price we’re prepared to pay for the refugees who have contributed nothing yet to our country?Ā Are we a country with unlimited resources? There should be a boundaryĀ Are we angel with unlimited capabilities? So there should be a boundary.

    4. Look at the ā€˜refugeesā€™ now in Germany. If they are real refugees who seek safety, why donā€™t they stay inĀ GreeceĀ Greek or Spain? They are not seeking safety, but money! Chancellor Merkel, the German politician, will be responsible for what is happening in Germany and what willĀ continue to happen forĀ the foreseeable future.Ā the coming 30 years and even longer. And she will be remembered not for her mercy but herĀ stupidity and shame. Itā€™sĀ The same is happening now in Mexico. The ā€˜refugeesā€™ donā€™t want toĀ seek asylumĀ  stay in Mexico safely with food supply. They insistĀ on going to to go to the USA. What is this?

    5 In the end we welcome real genuineĀ refugees who seekĀ come for freedom and safety. All fake refugees who justĀ come hereĀ to seek for a just for wealthy life but areĀ not willing to work are unwelcome.

    Ps. Please note the characteristic of Islam. It is not a simple religion. It is a kind of mixture of religious and political organization.
