UN refugee chief says Europe must prepare systems to cope with bigger migrant flows

Jan 26, 2018 4:37 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The hijrah continues to be escorted into Europe by the United Nations, which has signaled to Europe that whatever the price-tag, whatever the cost — including mass rapes, violent no-go zones, jihad attacks and other abuses — European citizens must accommodate Muslim migrants and expect more to flow in.

United Nations refugee chief Filippo Grandi has said that EU nations must prepare their asylum reception systems to cope with bigger migrant inflows.

The Visegrad group (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia) — especially Hungary and Poland — has resisted the hijrah, and have managed to “cut illegal immigration by 99 percent.” For this, the UN singled it out as being cruel in rejecting innocent people who were “fleeing war and persecution.” Yet that is questionable, and all the while Christians continue to be wiped out in the Middle East with nary a whisper from the UN.

“UN Refugee Chief Says Europe Must Prepare Systems to Cope with Bigger Migrant Flows”, by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, January 25, 2018:

United Nations refugee chief Filippo Grandi has said that EU nations must prepare their asylum reception systems to cope with bigger migrant inflows.

Speaking to Refugees Deeply in Davos, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said the “big failure” in Europe’s response to the migrant crisis in 2015 and 2016 was that governments visibly struggled to house, feed, and clothe the massive influx of third world migrants who marched on the continent after German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the border.

“We need to work more with Europe, and other countries that receive refugees, to make reception systems more effective for larger numbers than before,” he said, lamenting that migrant reception systems in the bloc had “cracked under the pressure” of huge inflows……

The Italian diplomat is not a fan of walls, as Breitbart London noted in September when Grandi blasted Hungary’s border fences for doing their job.

On a visit to the Visegrád nation’s border, where walls have cut illegal immigration by 99 per cent, the UNHCR boss complained: “When I was standing at the border fence today, I felt the entire system is designed to keep people, many of whom are fleeing war and persecution, out of the country.”

In the interview, which was published on Wednesday, Grandi also told Refugees Deeply co-founder and executive editor Lara Setrakian that Europe should speed up granting passports to refugees, claiming that the privileges of citizenship aid migrants’ integration.

For “wealthy states, especially European states”, resettling large numbers of refugees on a scale like that seen at the height of the migrant crisis is perfectly doable, he insisted.

“Of course it requires an effort. In the case of Europe, it also requires regional cooperation, something that is politically difficult,” the Milanese figure said, remarking that “European Commission leaders in Brussels” appear to be working along lines which would further UNHCR goals.

Breitbart London reported Thursday on EU migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos’s announcement that it would be “unacceptable” for any European nation to refuse the resettlement of third world asylum seekers, declaring that mass migration from Africa and the Middle East is part of the “principles and values” on which the bloc was built.

    Filippo Grandi should prepare for the unemployment line if funding of UNHCR dries up.

    “When I was standing at the border fence, I felt that the whole system was designed to keep people out…”

    Well spotted, Sherlock. You’re starting to get the idea.

    BTW, Signor Grandi, how many ‘refugees’ have you accommodated in your home?

    • WorkingClassPost says

      Jan 26, 2018 at 6:19 am

      Yes, I chuckled at that astute observation, too.

    • Michael Copeland says

      Grandi’s house has a door, if not a gate as well, the whole system “designed to keep people out…”

    Macron told May France would ‘Frexit’ if given the chance. They need to take that move and the Hungarians, Poles etc who know what Islam is doing need to stand against this also.

  6. traci94 says

    I have to wonder, are people like him being paid by the OIC or something to assist so willingly and insistently with the hijrah?? There is just an incredible amount of arrogance here – the insistence that any disagreement with him and the agenda of the UN is totally unacceptable. I can only hope that he and his cohorts experience the consequences of their own miserable, stupid, reckless ideology.

    But, are there any opinions out there regarding the money issue? Do you think these leaders (Merkel, EU leaders, etc.) are receiving any monetary compensation for these reckless policies?

    • jan sobieski says

      Jan 26, 2018 at 8:43 am

      The US pays 30% of the UNHCR/UNRWA budgets, SO we, the US, are paying for this a’hole’s salary and so many more at the UN.

      • Michael Copeland says

        Jan 26, 2018 at 8:48 am

        You pay income tax, as well, but not UN employees.

    • Granddaddy says

      Jan 26, 2018 at 9:45 pm

      Yes, I think it’s possible. The Pope is being paid millions for “relocation” of the so-called refugees. But as for Grandi and others in the UN, they’re probably too smart to get caught doing anything illegal. What the Pope is doing is not technically illegal either, just unChristian. Likewise what Merkel is doing is not illegal either. But for sure, money makes a good incentive. If you know of a way to “follow the money”, that will probably tell you the real incentive. For sure, filling Europe with millions of Jew-hating, Christian-hating, ignorant, unemployable, murder-loving, lying-in-the-name-of-Allah, potential jihadis (all Muslims are obligated to participate in jihad, Quran 2:216) is not the incentive. And that’s just what they are. If the Pope, Merkel, Grandi, and others like them are not fools (all they have to do is open the Quran and read it), then they are liars. And liars make good crooks.

    Grandi’s “regional co-operation” is code for submission to Brussels – or else.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Yep. They’re stepping up the pressure. The globalists are getting desperate.

      • LeftisruiningCanada says

        Agreed. I’ve not heard language like this Grandi is using being spoken so openly and belligerently before.

          HA! – have you heard pope Francis lately? He’s even worse than this. – He OPENLY uses moral blackmail to try and force Europeans to open EVERY last border to EVERY last migrant who wants to come in to our countries.

    Arabia has land, money ,religion and culture common with the ‘refugees’ but no claims are made them. Hijrah to the land of Mecca doesn’t count. Migration to dar al-harb is the goal. Its always about whats good for Islam not whats good for the Muslims.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Yep, completely collectivist hive mind thinking.

    Jan 26, 2018 at 8:55 am

    Which are these “other countries that receive refugees”?
    Sudan? Pakistan? Eritrea? China? Saudi Arabia? Indonesia?
    Curiously this obligation seems to be solely Europe’s, and with no explanation.

    • Mockingjay says

      Jan 26, 2018 at 6:41 pm

      EXACTLY. – Why is it that no one seems interested in discussing this?

  10. Heidi says

    Jan 26, 2018 at 9:01 am

    Time to say good bye to this money wasting useless UN. Nobody will miss them. Unfortunately they will not have to prepare for the unemployment line because they shoveled enough of our hard earned money into their pockets. They should, however, be forced to take the refugees in and take care of them. It is easy to be generous with someone else’s money.

  11. MFritz says

    Jan 26, 2018 at 10:18 am

    “Prepare systems”… more crimes, more terrorism, more rape, more repression against critical opinions, more propaganda in the media. Can I have some LESS please?

  12. StellaSaidSo says

    Jan 26, 2018 at 10:47 am

    Sorry, Signor Grandi, it isn’t ‘doable’. But it sure as hell needs to be ‘undoable’, and soon.

    Europe has had enough of the horror.

    • Mockingjay says

      Jan 26, 2018 at 6:44 pm

      – Indeed.

    The day is coming near that the passive europeon citizens will rebel, like we saw recently in Iran, and historically as in the mid-19th century. Yes it will happen. People can only endure so much.

    • Mockingjay says

      Jan 26, 2018 at 6:48 pm

      – Yes. That time has not yet come, but as the “ruling elite” keeps and keeps on pushing, there WILL come the time that the people WILL PUSH BACK.
      It already has become inevitable.

    These are indeed dark times, especially when idiots like this guy…..yet again someone else from our own stock, who is intent on destroying his own people by swamping our lands with the barbaric medieval hordes from Africa and the middle East, the vast majority of whom are Muslims.

    People like him no doubt don’t have to live with, or suffer the consequences of being near to these third world heathens, and this is often the case. It is us normal folk that suffer from their pathetically short sighted liberal politically correct decisions, and they know this but couldn’t give a damn!

    People like him need to be ousted from positions that are detrimentally destructive to the people he is supposed to represent, though I won’t be holding my breath to see this ever happen.

  16. Indiana Tom says

    Jan 26, 2018 at 6:28 pm

    This is why the USA should not fund directly or indirectly the UN, EU, NATO, or Muslim countries. EU refugee countries are blowing all of their budgets on the Muslim eaters. Take the free stuff from the EU refugee countries and bring their battles of the budget to a head.

  17. Mockingjay says

    Jan 26, 2018 at 7:37 pm

    No, mr. Grandi of the UN, Europe DOES NOT need to prepare itself for MORE and MORE “refugee”-migrants.
    – What NEEDS to be done INSTEAD is that the whole of the international “refugee” policy should be THOROUGHLY revised.

    People fleeing war (or natural desasters) need to be “resettled” as CLOSE to their countries of origin as possible, so, in their OWN REGION, within their own cultural sphere.
    This is the only solution that makes sense, especially in the long term. To have everyone from every continent come over to Europe is not only blandly absurd, it is simply not possible NOR necessary.

    But I think the real question that needs to be asked is: Why do YOU think it is the ONLY solution to have Europe take all these migrants in, mr. Grandi? WHY?
    Because countries once all signed a treaty saying they would take each and every “refugee” in?
    Well – that treaty is seriously OUT OF DATE, mr. Grandi. I also do not think that it was EVER meant as a means to enable mass-migration, which is what you seem to want to use it for now, – and we are NOT just going to lie down and accept this.

    – You might think we still are, for the time being, and yes, many Europeans still seem to be in a trance of some sort, but even they will eventually come to experience first-hand all the manifold downsides of having limitless mass-migration into their home-countries, and when that happens, there will be a solid majority in opposition to all that you have planned.
    Then we will elect the people who will listen to us.

    – But, to be perfectly honest – by then it might already be well too late to avoid the worst outcome – and maybe THAT is what you have planned all along – could that be the REAL answer to all of this, mr. Grandi?

      It will be interesting to see how this man will feel when he becomes part of the hated dhimmi minority governed by sharia law, instead of telling other people that they should surrender their culture and way of life to these invaders.

        True enough. The EU is surely a practice go at supranational governance, and the way the ‘individual states’ are treated gives us some idea of what the brave new world order would be like.

        Thanks, but no thanks.

        Shame that Canada is on the top of the invite list.

      Well – it is a SELF-INFLICTED punishment, – especially by the Germans who are acting out their WWII – guilt by offering up their whole country to be raped, abused, and eventually, slaughtered.

    The U.N. should encourage migrants to stay home and change things if they can and discourage their emigration to other nations. If other nations allow or encourage immigrants, so be it.

  21. bouboulina says

    Jan 27, 2018 at 4:48 pm

    In the interests of truth & justice any & all future Muzzy migrants must be air-dropped directly into Grandi’s backyard where he & his family can enjoy the pleasure of tending to all their needs.

  22. joanofark06 says

    Jan 28, 2018 at 1:41 am

    Wait till all these many American rich people, realize, there’s no place in Europe, or anywhere, that’s safe…to go on vacation!
    Then watch the EU’s economy start falling, and they still have to feed and house thousands upon thousands of “immigrants”…
    What are they going to do….start asking the US for money, how bout the UN….

  23. Valerie says

    Jan 30, 2018 at 1:18 pm

    Anyone who doesn’t clearly see this as the INTENTIONAL destruction of Western countries isn’t paying attention. The People will have to take matters into their own hands if they want a future for their children. People like Grandi must be removed from power.
    NOT ONE UN OFFICIAL WAS ELECTED. THE UN HAS NO JURISDICTION ANYWHERE ON EARTH!
