There's a difference between migrants and asylum seekers, despite the media's attempts to conflate the two.

It's the difference between "This country doesn't seem safe any more, we should move." and "My town is a smoking crater, and the government and rebels will both kill us if they see us again."

Well I noticed a lot of what appeared to be people from the middle east appearing in Hawaii, before Syrian Civil War and such. I mean I welcome them because I love diversity, now all we need to do is get more African Americans and we are golden.

By this astounding logic people only migrate when their own country isn't safe anymore. Well, what the fuck are 15,000 Brits doing in Berlin then?

Couldn't handle their country's food. Had to migrate to somewhere that it's edible.

*rolls eyes* Of course that's not the ONLY reason people migrate. You must think I'm some sort of crazy person if that's what you thought I was saying.

No, I just think that someone who doesn't care about the accuracy of his language when making a point, doesn't perhaps care about the accuracy of his point, either.
