Bill Gates: German open door migrant policy heading for disaster

According to Microsoft founder Bill Gates, migration to Europe will increase. “The pressure is enormous – just because of the extremely high population growth in Africa,”

Gates, one of the world’s richest individuals, believes European leaders are fuelling the migrant crisis by continuing to welcome huge numbers of Africans. He was referring to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open border policy.

In an interview with German weekly Welt am Sonntag, the 61-year-old spoke of the problems caused by “the German attitude to refugees”, including illegal immigrants.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has for years been trying to promote effective measures against extreme poverty and diseases in Africa and other underdeveloped countries, suggesting that Gates speaks from experience.

The IT billionaire said German hospitality has contributed to the influx. “On the one hand you want to demonstrate generosity and take in refugees, but the more generous you are, the more word gets around about this — which in turn motivates more people to leave Africa,” Gates eplained.

“Germany cannot possibly take in the huge, massive number of people who are wanting to make their way to Europe.” Gates said Europe needed instead to “make it more difficult for Africans to reach the continent via the current transit routes” to stem the current flow.

Italy has taken in nearly 85 percent of this year’s arrivals of migrants, most of them sub-Saharan Africans, while many European countries complain that they too were struggling to cope.

France has rejected the plea by Italy’s Interior Minister Marco Minniti to open its ports to migrants. Minniti’s counterpart Gerard Collomb told AFP this would only encourage more migrants to come.

On Tuesday, the European Commission announced a new aid plan for Italy and Libya, worth 35 million euros, to try and decrease the flow. As FWM reported with the proposed border closing by Austria, a fresh migrant crisis is brewing, the continent’s worst since World War II.

The EU wants to encourage Egypt, Niger, Ethiopia and Sudan to take back their nationals, the Commission said. The plan will be discussed by EU interior ministers meeting in Estonia’s capital Tallinn on Thursday.

The decision in 2015 to distribute around 160 000 refugees across different countries, relocating the glut from Italy and Greece under the scheme, was refused by Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic.

European migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos called on Tuesday for EU countries to speed up deportations of failed asylum seekers to ease the pressure, but said that this needed cooperation from their home countries.

The UN figures show that between January 1 and July 3, more than 85 000 migrants flooded into Italy, almost 9300 into Greece, 6500 into Spain and over 270 into Cyprus.

“We are under enormous pressure,” Italy’s Minniti said at the weekend. The Red Cross meanwhile warned the situation in overcrowded reception centres was becoming critical, while the UN’s refugee agency warned that Italy would not be able to continue absorbing tens of thousands of migrants on its own.
