Summary
In the midst of
hordes of Syrian Immigrants flooding into Europe: European nations
are taking measures in hope of stunting further migration. Countries
like Denmark and Sweden have either passed laws to prevent
immigration or have found themselves overwhelmed by immigrants and
forced to deport people back to their home countries. This is due to
many countries lacking the infrastructure to support so many new
immigrants: yet in spite of this, there has been so specific strategy
taken by the EU.
Analysis
Boyle has stated
that "more than 1 million refugees and migrants are believed to have traveled to Europe this year” : in the
past, European countries were open to taking the immigrants as
refugees, but recently the same countries have begun to pass bills to
deter further migration. The laws have been passed because countries
are being overwhelmed by migrants that their infrastructure cannot
withstand, and issues of safety have been raised adding to the
laundry list of Europe's leaders. Officials have stated that “Leaders
don't want to go through another year of high levels [of migration]
when they don't know if security can handle it, [or if[ their
infrastructure can handle it”. While Boyle says that they have some
good reason for wanting to stunt the flow of migrants, he emphasizes
the lack of unity in the EU and their failure to create a unified
front in dealing with the situation.

ReplyDeleteI love the way you analyze the reasoning and logic behind the choices being made by EU. Your explanation of quotes are awesome because it adds more of an understanding of what you read and the purpose of the said quotes. I wonder what your take is on the issue at hand? I personally can see the point of view of EU however, it is still wrong to just reject migrants especially if they are trying to escape war. The EU needs to find a way to help these people out because back where they live its much worse. Overall you did a great job analyzing the quotes in the article and show what their purpose is in the text

ReplyDeleteFirst things first I don't sugar coat things, so know what I say is to try and help your writing, not to just criticize it. You address, the problem, showing that the EU needs to find a better solution rather than turn away the immigrants flowing into the country, great job on that. But with your analysis, just add a little more on how it ties into your views, how the problem should be addressed. Right now your analysis is borderline summary. I have to say though I do like your writing style it's, elegant and professional. Good job keep it up c:
