"As this legislative cycle starts, the E.U. can and must do better than abandon its commitment to the global refugee protection regime," said an Amnesty campaigner.
The asylum system is broken af. We need something but it’s not working as is. Millions displaced and more coming and they can’t all fit in the west.
How about a buddy system? Each country picks a couple of hopefully nearby countries with similar cultures and language. The buddy countries guarantee citizenship for displaced people from their country. The west agrees to assist financially with repatriation. For bonus points this also provides incentive for the buddy countries to push for stability.
As bonus bonus points it’d allow the millions of currently displaced to have a home and stops the source of people smuggling and ends a huge source of human suffering.
We need to start focusing less on admitting people in and more on improving countries so there’s less inequality. Asylum is fundamentally flawed at present.
You’re going to be in for a shock when climate change increases the number of asylum seekers exponentially. If you decide they can’t all come, they’re going to decide you’re wrong and they’re likely a lot more determined than you are because their life is on the line.

Exactly. We need a working system for asylum before then! Open door really isn’t practical…if you have a better suggestion than mine I’m all ears
