And there is a housing crisis in all these European countries these refugees want to go to. In my country refugees who have received their official refugee status get first priority in getting social housing. While the waiting lists grows larger by the year, because of the crisis. It’s no wonder that people have changed their tunes when it comes to the refugees.

The real problem is of course our short sighted governments who are only thinking of the next election. They are treating every refugee crisis like it is the last one. And only implement measures to deal with the current influx and not trying to make the entire system better for the future. Thus when a new wave of refugees arrives the government is overwhelmed by the refugees and is always scrambling to find shelter for them.
