European leaders should have learned long ago that once you pay the danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane. This will just encourage Erdogan and others to send more “refugees” to Europe, in order to squeeze more jizya from the foolish and self-deceived dhimmis.
“Migrants on Greek islands to be offered €2,000 to go home,” by Jennifer Rankin, Guardian, March 12, 2020:
Migrants on the Greek islands are to be offered €2,000 (£1,764) per person to go home under a voluntary scheme launched by the European Union in an attempt to ease desperate conditions in camps.
The amount is more than five times the usual sum offered to migrants to help them rebuild their lives in their country of origin, under voluntary returns programmes run by the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The offer will last one month, as the commission fears an open-ended scheme would attract more migrants to Europe. It will not apply to refugees who have no homes to return to, but is intended to incentivise migrants seeking better living standards to leave the islands.
The EU’s home affairs commissioner, Ylva Johansson, said the scheme was “a window of opportunity for a targeted group”, adding that the IOM would run the scheme with the EU border agency Frontex.
“Refugees will not return, of course, they can’t return, but economic migrants that maybe know they will not get a positive asylum decision could be interested in doing that,” she told a small group of reporters.
The scheme, she said, could be a quick way to relieve the pressure on camps on the Greek islands, where conditions are “totally unacceptable”.
The commission said it hoped 5,000 people will take up the offer, although it acknowledged it lacked statistics on how many people on the Greek islands were “economic migrants”, rather than refugees. Migrants on the Greek mainland were likely to be offered extra money to leave – much less than €2,000, but higher than the usual resettlement sum of €370….
Even before the recent flare-up in tensions at the Greek-Turkish border, the UN refugee agency reported last month that more than 36,000 asylum seekers were staying in reception centres across five islands, originally designed for 5,400 people….
COLIN POWIS says
The Turks are holding us to ransom by corralling tens of thousands of migrants up against the Greek border then demanding the filthy lucre to hold them back ; this is an act of war and they are cunningly using migrants as weapons to fire at us
There are only two possible outcomes ; our spineless pathetic leaders will pay the Danegeld on a regular basis and/or the EU will order the Greeks to let them pass and we will witness the disgraceful spectacle of an army of foreign, feral migrants marching across half of Europe during a pandemic with the full approval of our spineless governments

Suicidal AND stupid. This is not a good combination. I believe Tony Soprano said it best: ‘There’s good, and there’s not good. And this is not good’
Thomas Ardoline says
The EU can’t “order” Greece to do ANYTHING! Greece has the absolute right to bare arms to defend its sovereignty. If young, immigrant males are being used by the Turks to invade Greece and armed by the Turks and transported by the Turks then they are enemy invaders/combatants. Defend yourselves. Fire on these young people that have contempt for your borders, your women AND your young boys.

better and cheaper idea, send in the military and remove them every one….
NITZAKHON ProIsrael says
Migrant shows up at border. Migrant gets money. Migrant goes home and gives money to jihad.
Thus, stupid Europeans are, once again, taken and supporting their own demise.
Martin says
What happens when the coronavirus starts sweeping through all those filthy, overcrowded, Greek island “refugee” camps? There currently aren’t enough doctors and hospital beds for Greek taxpayers so I imagine all these “refugees” will be flat out of luck when the virus hits.. The ones who stayed will soon be wishing that they had taken that 2,000 euro (per person) bribe money and had quickly left those camps before the coronavirus arrived.
mortimer says
Ah… pay the jizzya out of hand with humiliation!
The money would be better spent if they PAID Muslims to take a deprogramming course to disabuse them of the idea that the Koran is of divine origin.
Muslims could be paid upon the successful passing of an examination that produce the ‘correct’ answers regarding the non-historicity, illogic and incoherence of Islam.
As long as Muslims see the Koran as divine, there will be jihad. The only effective solution is COUNTERJIHAD IDEOLOGY.

agreed, mortimer, but the muslim must be willing to admit the possibility of his religion being disproved; otherwise, U end up with people who sit through de-programming classes, spouting the right answers at proper intervals (or not; the EUrabian governments don’t seem to care about that), then running off into the cities of EUrabia to rape and murder innocents once they “graduate.” remember the experience of the french, whose de-radicalization efforts failed in all cases? or how about the “asian” fellow in londonahbad who was released from prison after being “de-radicalized,” only to murder 2 fellow attendees for allah at a conference on de-radicalization?
were we to do a one-on-one de-radicalization effort, getting in the face of the muslim, and refuting his ideology 16 hours a day for 2 or 3 decades, we *might* have a few successes, but *all* the changed people of whom i am aware changed into non-muslims voluntarily and unassisted by anybody. to change a pious muslim, U must befriend him, knowing that he will likely only be pretending to be your friend. U will have to live your life with him, being with him in every circumstance. this is not a light commitment; it will take your every effort. U are saving his very *LIFE* from the poison of islam, and U must dedicate your every effort to reaching him.
this is the sort of effort *REQUIRED* to reach a pious muslim. some of the former muslims of whom i am aware had such a person in their life, and they were able to change, but as any of them would tell U, it came at the price of *all* of their muslim friends and family members. every single one of their friends and family, in almost every instance, either broke off all contact or promised jihad retribution for apostasizing. it is doubtful that *A*N*Y* government official would want to, or be able to, make such a commitment to converting a pious muslim; therefore, the only ones who can reach pious muslims are those who are already willing to make that kind of commitment.
and who might that be? it’s anybody who cares about somebody whom he knows who is a muslim. it’s somebody who cares enough to get down in the trenches with somebody to help him escape this evil death cult. as a born-again christian, i believe that my savior has appointed *M*E* – along with every other christian – to do that, and although i have only had the chance to spend time with one muslim in my career (and was unable to spend enough time with him to change his mind), i look at the invasion of the gangsta cult as a chance to reach people for Jesus whom i would not have had the chance to reach without the invasion. regardless of whether or not civilization ends (if the ummah wins), or “only” regresses 1000 years (if the left wins), every free person, regardless of his religious beliefs (or atheistic beliefs), must be willing to reach out to muslims, because the f***ing State is forcing them down our throats, and we have no other choice.

b.a. freeman,
Yes, one might be able to deprogram some muslims, on a voluntary basis.
But…
Only a small percent of the low hanging fruit – ones that actually have a desire to learn the tragic truth about islam.
gravenimage says
True, James. And these are unlikely to be the most dangerous Muslims, in any case.

This is obviously not enough as the so-called refugees have already paid much more for the services rendered by the human trafficking companies which recruit them all over the third world for the purpose of destroying Europe for the glory of Allah!
CogitoErgoSum says
Oh Muslims, the only thing that could be better for you than dying of coronavirus in an infidel country would be death by drowning while trying to return home. You Muslims who survive the plague can stuff your pockets full of money and try making the swim from Lesbos to Turkey. It’s only about 5.5 km (3.4 miles) and if you make it you will have enough cash for a night with a classy hooker or, if you don’t, you get to be a martyr who can spend eternity for free with 72 hookers in Muslim Paradise. What a great time to be alive if you are a Muslim. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. (Hey, it’s what Muhammad promised you.)

How many will take the money, then go back and get in line for more money?
SAFI says
I read this only applies for migrants who arrived there before January 1. So as to avoid this becoming an incentive for more to come. There’s also a typo in the headline, it’s € 2000 not $.
tim gallagher says
Maybe they’ll take to money and go, but I suspect that a lot of these Muslim invaders will not accept this amount of money, because they have probably been informed by Muslim relatives in Europe that they can expect to get far more welfare money than the 2000 if they stick around in Europe. Apart from always trying to spread the Islam virus to all non-Muslims all the time, I’m sure one of the main drawcards for these Muslims is that they can bludge on European style welfare benefits. The thing that strikes me is that islam has turned all Muslim countries into barbaric, backward shitholes and it would be sensible for Muslims to wake up and realise that Islam is, in fact, the problem and ditch it, but instead they always want to impose barbaric Islam on everyone, which would turn our western countries into backward hellholes. Only the Muslim countries which were fortunate enough to have oil have any level of wealth, the rest are basket cases.
ntesdorf says
They will gladly take the €2,000 from the EU and then will be back, heavily disguise, to get hold of another €2,000.
James Lincoln says
Just wondering, will these muslim migrants have to report the $2000 as income on their tax returns?
Perhaps they can deduct travel expenses…

So true.

Appease. Appease. Appease. Appease. And more appease. Until you pay the same total benefits to them direct deposit to their home country?
The only alternative is tell the selfish dastards “No.” “No.” “No.” “No.” ” No.” And “no.”
The net comment who says “gimmiegrants” is correct.

Or as COLIN POWIS says let them in.

That will encourage the Muslim leaders to send millions more to invade Greece and collect the 2,000. Multiple times.
Gork says
How about they start shooting them? A 7.62 bullet is a lot cheaper than a trip home. Keep in mind whose border is whose. In a sane world, this would be called what it is: an invasion.
Anjuli Pandavar says
AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
OLD GUY says
The problem is the leaders continue to look for the easy way out rather than taking the actions required to stop this bullshit. Handing out money will not stop this problem, it will probably expand it. A country that will not protect its border will be invaded and destroyed. The only way to stop this is to control your border based on your countries laws. If a country closes it’s borders than they have the right to use deadly force to stop the invasion of individuals crossing their borders illegally.
