This looks old . <| sep |> Daisy Tang <| sep |> Yeah but since when did it become the duty and responsibility of Germany to sort out a crisis that affects the whole of the EU ? And in order to take in these refugees none of these people had much verification or looking into their backgrounds , anybody could have come and claimed refugee status for fucks sake . Not to mention most of these people are single unaccompanied males . What ' s your society going to do with all of these frustrated , unemployed , disenfranchised , impoverished , and quite possibly traumatized male population ? What skills do most of these people have ? So you can just come in and gain benefits because your country is at war ? Most other situations people have to go through proper channels to get refugee status . I ' m not saying they aren ' t deserving of compassion , I just fail to see the justification for taking in tens of thousands of these people with no skills , don ' t speak the language , no education , trauma , vastly different cultural values , and no ability to contribute positively to society until after years and years of taxpayer money is invested into giving them the most basic ability to function as a population . And let ' s not forget all the suburban Arab teenagers who , despite being raised in normal households in European cities as regular members of society , apparently felt isolated and alienated enough to join ISIS , shoot people , or plan acts of terrorism . Yes , I get it , there are hundreds of teenagers to the one that joins ISIS , but I see it is a pretty serious issue that middle class kids are in such bad need of an outlet in their host countries . That ' s not concerning to anyone ? Yes , they do have different educational needs . My husband works with emotionally and behaviorally challenged kids and has in different settings over the year he teaches science . Some of the diagnoses the kids come to him with include PTSD . And that can be on top of learning English as a second language , growing up in a new environment , and any potential learning disabilities they may have . Most public schools in the US don ' t have special ed teams equipped to handle students like this . My husband is employed by special schools that are not part of the larger public school system . It ' s a process for kids to get into these schools to begin with . These kids can not only be challenging to teach , but they must also be prepared to function as normal human beings in society . This requires the efforts of an entire team of teachers , administrators , psychologists , and behavioral coaches in order to get these kids functioning . And most of them will never be really high earners . In the majority of cases , the kid is a success story if he lives his life without going to prison and getting out of poverty and The System is a dream . I understand the system is different in Germany , but realistically do all the small towns that are taking in traumatized high school kids really equipped to deal with the unique set of needs they present ? I ' m going to go out on a limb and say no . But you guys all get to pat yourselves on the back about how great and compassionate you are . Even if they aren ' t more likely to commit crime , what the hell will they be contributing to your society in ten years ? I ' ve heard the language immersion classes are more involved than what people get in the US so that will be helpful . I ' m wondering about the young men who are traumatized , have huge gaps in their education , no skills , and feel frustrated about changing their situation are going to be doing in a decade .
