Greek police using masked 'mercenaries' to push migrants back across border

Like they say migrants will do the jobs no one else wants because its the only jobs they can get.

This is why I support most migrant-friendly laws. I'd rather have mostly dads working for their families than only those with the highest criminal energy. We are -indirectly- rewarding criminals and punish those who try to enter legally.

Defenseless is quite ambiguous to say

Its insane how other people fails to realise human trafficking is flourishing because of this, stopping thisbl litteraly helps everyone.

And yet we say this in the USA and half our country can’t grasp that

lol people will hate on illegal migration as “crime” but have 3 dui’s. I think driving solo in the carpool lane is a far more immoral and flagrant crime than crossing a border to feed your family.

Its a made up crime/law though, at the end power defines hierarchy and nothing else.

What should probably stop is people like you with very strong opinions on immigration talking about it without knowing the basics of it. Seeking asylum is legal. edit: couldn't care less about downvotes from far right bros and bots

Why would the Russian and NK bot farms be anti-illegal immigration? They would obviously be pro-illegal immigration because that's a terrible policy. This is a classic "appeal to both sides comment" so I just want to point out that the "bots" are the ones that are ultra pro illegal immigration when everyone who is over the age of 15 knows that's dumb.

But do report them. There’s a catch all ”bigotry offensive“ category for the sub that probably has a counter on it before it triggers, so let’s use it.

its insane how obvious it is. lots of comments making good points or even quoting sources, getting heavily downvoted with no replies. someone is spending a lot of money to try and turn listnookors against asylum seekers.

I bloody hope they are bots, because there’s some inhuman fucko posts. How can you tell?

To be fair, a majority of greeks are extremely racist and petty. Many of you dont know their true face because you went there as tourists.

Don’t forget the Tel Aviv bots.

Also Israeli bots. Don’t waste your time as I did.

Yeah, threatening people with r***, beating them, and sexually assaulting them as you search them are things Superman totally did. If these other comments are true and these are essentially human pawns, they’re probably super poor and were given no other choice by their home country. Imagine celebrating those people being assaulted. I don’t give a shit if they are deported, but this is dehumanization. Shit is evil and we need to knock it off as a species. Everyone celebrating this is just propagating evil.

Ah yes, it's usually the masked ones doing the good work when it comes to interacting with unarmed civilians...

You aren't going to fool us ICE thug.

Probably worse despite this being ignored for 5 years.

working age. Old enough to be mobile, not yet too old to be mobile. All different, less loaded ways of deacribing the same thing. Except a lot of these victims are literally children and babies, so hardly of "fighting age" anyway.

Hot take: people on the internet referring to hateful comments as “bots” is copium so they don’t have to accept that real human beings feel that way . That’s the scarier part to me, that these people actually are real and exist in my country.

If you believe in the democratic system then you'd understand that it's working as intended when everyone gets a vote, even if you don't like their opinion.

This is how the fascist wave rose in Europe. Everything is being blamed on the 'immigrants'.

Ok it's a fair point but it's going require a shit ton of money to take care of a lot of people that show up at doorstep and the economy of Europe is not exactly thriving right now. Maybe we shouldn't be giving a bunch of ammunition to the far right because if this type of migration was something good, and that people loved, I guess everyone would have noticed that by now, and they haven't.

Yup. Thank you. To add to that, the Mediterranean is by far the deadliest border in the world right now, close to 30,000 people have been estimated to have died or disappeared there between 2014 and 2023. That's compared to about 8,000 deaths and disappearances during migrations *all over the Americas* in the same time span.

>Edit: Oh, a reminder of the EU committing atrocities at its borders is not what the kids want, eh? I dunno about that. But I'm not Greek either, and unlike most of you I don't get off telling other countries what to do.  Or maybe I'm just not enough of a doomer to cry in the corner when I read news like this, so I just have to make a comment for good boi points. 

There’s literally been border patrol for hundreds of years across the world
