Migrants brawl on Greek island as refugee ship lies empty
Marine Link ^ | August 16, 2015 | Joseph R. Fonseca

Outside the island's main police station, about 50 migrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran threw stones and exchanged blows as tempers boiled over in the intense mid-summer heat. Riot police stood by without intervening.

The migrants have little chance of getting aboard the ship, the Eleftherios Venizelos, as priority is being given to Syrians, who are treated as refugees as they are fleeing their country's civil war and have greater rights under international law than economic migrants.

All have crossed the narrow stretch of water from Turkey in small boats and dinghies as they try to find a better life in Europe and leave behind either conflict or poverty.

The lefties of Europe and the US need to emmigrate to Paki, Afgani, and Persia to institute their dreams of socialist utopia.

It’s ironic how none of these Muslim refugees are trying to immigrate to Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar or other Islamic run nations.

“Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran threw stones and exchanged blows “

Just makes you feel all welcoming towards them. . .why aren’t they rioting and acting like the uncivilized animals they are back in their own country. . oh, that’s right. . .they KNOW their country would kill them but they KNOW the West, especially Europe, have no spine and will not fight back against “economic” refugees (?).

What?

If I can’t find a job I can claim refugee status. . .insanity.

Next they will sue the broke Greeks and the
Germans will pay the retribution.
They will inhabit Greece, make lots of
Babies, collect welfare and a certain
Percent will indulge in terrorist activities.
Greece thought they were done before.

I watched the video of the episode last night on German state-run news. The migrants now grasp that there’s two categories, and the Syrians rank higher on the help-level than everyone else.

Presently, if you are Albanian or any nearby group.....in Germany...almost zero percent chance of being granted asylum. But they get six to eight weeks of food and shelter in Germany until the approval is denied. Tons of money being wasted on this waiting period.

Problem is Obama’s not allowing Christian refugees, Just Musim ones, because we’re in need of transformation you know.
