Our union wasn't forged in the past 10yrs but sure lets really jump that fragile bridge of thought to the south succeeding to keep slaves during the civil war days over the Brits and other "countries" giving up their country of origin to simply be labeled "European" that's like saying no we're not Americans were North Americans, therefore so is Canadians & Mexicans, nope we're just going to run around using continental terms.  These aren't territories/states they are entire individual countries with completely different cultural backgrounds and beliefs.  

if you haven't been to Europe recently to exp any of this maybe you should consider shutting your face because you really have no idea what you're talking about.  There's a good reason Britain jumped ship. 

Secondly I'd like to point out that Switzerland and Japan made the choice of not accepting refugees onto their soil for a reason.  (A good one) considering what Italy, France, and Sweden just to name a few are going through.
