It was supposed to be the first step on their journey to Western Europe. But now thousands of migrants are mired in despair, anger and frustration on the scenic Greek island of Lesbos. After perilous sea voyages from neighbouring Turkey, they have been stranded here for days, some for nearly two weeks, running out of money and desperate to get to mainland Greece and continue their route. The island of some 100,000 residents has been transformed by the sudden new population of some 20,000 refugees, mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan – and the strain is pushing everyone to the limit. Fights break out among the migrants as they wait in long lines for hours in the summer heat and humidity after days without showers.

HALTING THE IMMIGRATION INVASION OF THE WEST!
Pack ALL the muzzies among them back aboard a ship or train BACK to whereverthehell they came from along with a rifle and 500 rounds of ammo for each military age individual — male and female — and any older men who want to fight for their freedom.

During the trip back, REQUIRE them to watch a short video of the sort linked below (with subtitles in their language).

Once offloaded, and under armed military control to prevent them from turning the weapons on their “liberators”, pass out the weapons and ammo with a map pointing out where current satellite images indicate the folks they’ve fled are located, pat them on the back and wish them luck!

BTW, why wouldn’t that work for the Mexican and Central American illegals here? Only difference is that the folks they need to wipe out are the crooked politicians and drug cartels now running their homelands?

The one thing I notice is how overwhelmingly young and male these so called refugees are. I guess they do not give a rats arse about fighting for their homeland.

An invading army is likely to be overwhelmingly young and male ... and fighting for one's homeland can have multiple meanings.

Yep.

Since they are invading the Island of Lesbos, where is the Lesbian Army?

Surely they might want to protect their home island? (a joke!)

I was thinking of Rush's "All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion"

Like the dumbasses they are, they went somewhere they weren't wanted. Sucks to be them.

Offer then free rides off of Lesbos and back to the Libyan shores. Make them sign promises with their biometric IDs registered. And to not to try it again or they end up in prison. Even give them each $1000 to go home with so they can brag about a victory. Pay them off but just get rid of them.

Their ‘homeland’ is the Caliphate.

They’re engaged in battle for the worldwide Caliphate with every step into Europe.

They are invaders. Historically, how did countries handle an invasion?

Although he is not a General, I would proudly follow Col. Ralph Peters. If you get to hear his comments on our times and the Idiot Stick in the Oval Office, you will understand why I say that.
He is not bashful with his comments!
