RE: Out of Office AutoReply: FREEDOM BEHIND BARS ?

FREEDOM    BEHIND   BARS  ?

There was no TV , when Allied Army invaded the shores of Normandy on early morning of 6th June 1944

People of the World learned about it 24 hours later thru newspapers

But , in the afternoon of 16 Sept 2015 , the entire World was watching on TV 

INVASION  OF   EUROPE ,

by hundreds of migrants trying to cross the Serbia - Hungary border

Of course , closed gates / 4 meter high barbed wire fence / water cannons and tear gas shells , held back those few hundred refugees

But , for how long , when those few hundred become few thousands  ?

Hungary's response :

Passed a law treating illegal migration as a criminal offence

I presume , Hungary will prosecute those thousands of Syrian / Libyan / Iraqi refugees and imprison them on its own soil

A step that would be welcomed by those refugees , even though they have no intention to seek asylum in Hungary !

Getting imprisoned in Hungary will ensure that

>  they have a roof on their heads

>  they will not die of cold in coming harsh European winter

>  their children / infants will not starve

>  they will not get killed by wars ravaging their own countries

I expect them to sing :

" Stone walls do not a prison make , nor iron bars a cage "

I hope rest of Europe realizes that no fence can stop millions of migrants marching from its eastern borders and over the Mediterranean sea

They are trying to escape from war / hunger, to peace / food  !

But then, this problem will not remain an European Problem alone, for long !

It is bound to get replicated all over the World !

World over, poor people will try to migrate to " Islands of Prosperity " - whether just across the borders or across oceans

In my 08 June blog, I had suggested turning Antarctica into a ,

UNITED  STATES  OF  MIGRANTS ( USM )

But on a serious note :

Russia / Canada / Australia / China / Mongolia / Scandinavian Countries are , relatively prosperous countries

They also happen to have millions of square km of uninhabited - but entirely habitable , land masses

Between them , they should be able to accommodate ,

100 million migrants ,

- and still have population density far below the world average !

It is still not too late for such a constructive - and humanitarian solution !
