So far, the veracity of that passport has not been confirmed. They are saying it may be a forgery.
Even so, so many people of ANY persuasion is a lot to handle. I would definitely argue that Germany has a special obligation, given past history, though I know that is not a popular position.
That said, I keep wondering why our guys have to be put at risk when these healthy adults are just fleeing? I would be happy to take any of the children, would certainly agree to honor their parent's religion (if not of my own faith), but isn't it the adults obligation to fight for their own homes?

Betting on nationalism is slowly becoming profitable for the politicians in Western Europe. And whats interesting once one country gets government made up of nationalists, many others will follow.

Not exactly a question anymore. Enough of them have migrated into europe in the past few decades to know things are not turning out as we want them to.

In the US, we have a slightly different perspective, I suppose. Each wave of immigrants has changed us. Does Europe have a right to differ? I would say it is a legitimate debate, at least, without all those engaging being accused of pure hatred and xenophobic fear.

Has it changed us Player? As the child (and grandchild) of immigrants (one of my grandparents was illegal until he joined the army), I'm pretty Americanized. So are all my relatives. Not sure how much the Greeks and Italians and other unwanted southern European swarthy skinned peoples changed the United States.

Seriously? You want me to bring up examples? Or are you just joking?
At any rate, for us, a somewhat better comparison would be Latin America, but it is not a direct comparison. Still, the question of how many we can absorb or should absorb without feeling threatened ourselves is something that I think folks should be able to discuss. Accusing any and all who express any concern as being just hateful xenophobes helps no one.

Well both can be true. You are not as you were, (would you even have been born?) had your family stayed in Greece. However, even broadly, every group of people here impacts our country. As for specifics of Greeks and Italians -- you can look at food, fabrics, language, religion, etc, etc. Those examples may seem superficial, but look at the broader implications of each. (hmm... let's not forget movies...)
