For months, international media headlines have been telling the story of migrants making their way into Europe<\/a>\u00a0from conflict areas such as Syria, Eritrea, Libya, and Iraq. Nothing has caused public outcry and criticism\u00a0since pictures surfaced of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, a Syrian refugee whose lifeless corpse washed up on a beach Bodrum, Turkey. However, while\u00a0some welcome the arrival of refugees, others are protesting.<\/p>\n

In Germany, Chancellor\u00a0Angela Merkel received the Bundestag\u2019s approval to unilaterally suspend Germany\u2019s adherence to the Dublin Agreement, which stipulates that migrants are to be registered and resettled in the country where they first arrive. However, the permit extends only to refugees\u00a0from Syria, causing migrants from other countries\u00a0to dispose of their passports\u00a0before entering Europe and claiming to be\u00a0Syrians. This has led the Hungarian Prime Minister\u00a0Viktor Orban to deploy the Hungarian army to assist with border control.<\/p>\n

Previously, aggressive border control\u00a0prevented refugees from entering\u00a0Hungary. Recently,\u00a0Hungary, Germany, and Austria have created\u00a0a simpler path from the Hungarian border to resettlement in Germany. But Hungary’s strict border control continues to make\u00a0it easier for smugglers to find desperate\u00a0refugees, who pay\u00a0thousands of euros to evade the \u201charsh and unpredictable Hungarian police,”\u00a0according\u00a0to The Guardian.<\/em>\u00a0Authorities have erected a fence of barbed wire, with another to be complete at the end of fall, and are passing new laws to criminalize\u00a0crossing\u00a0the border or damaging the\u00a0fence.<\/p>\n

Hungary’s reluctance to take in refugees stems from the inevitable burden on state resources.\u00a0Aside from\u00a0imploring\u00a0parishes across Europe to take in refugees, Pope Francis recently\u00a0stated that the Vatican will begin\u00a0housing\u00a0refugees, albeit to a limited extent, while states enforce resettlement plans.<\/p>\n

The BBC reports that considering their increasing estimates of\u00a0incoming migrants, now a staggering\u00a0800,000, Germany\u2019s government has released an additional 3 billion euros from the federal budget to help local governments. Hundreds of citizens have volunteered to help at stations across Germany’s southern border. Unfortunately,\u00a0relocation facilities have become\u00a0targets of\u00a0\u201cpolitically motivated arson,\u201d according to police in the central German state of Thuringia.<\/p>\n

The influx of refugees from the Middle East also affects European migrants–the German government will change the status of Kosovo, Albania, and Montenegro to \u201csafe\u201d so that migrants from those countries\u00a0can be easily deported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
