Microsoft founder Bill Gates has called on Europe to stop demonstrating generosity towards asylum seekers to avoid an overwhelming migrant influx. He also advises European states to make Africans' way to the continent much more difficult.
During an interview Germany's Welt am Sonntag, Gates, one of the richest people on the planet, warned of the grave consequences of exceeding generosity towards refugees coming to Europe, whose numbers would only rise unless something is done.
"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 said.
While Germany has been one of the pioneers of the open door policy, it cannot "take in the huge, massive number of people who are wanting to make their way to Europe." Thus Gates advised European nations to take action in order to make it "more difficult for Africans to reach the continent via the current transit routes."

"The blacks in the US ghetto might even be living better lives than the blacks in USA when slavery was legal."
They have supermarkets full of food, they have shelter with electricity and heat, and modern civilization provides them with luxuries unimaginable even a few decades ago. In purely material terms, they live better than the wealthy did 150 years ago.
US blacks have a different problem, specifically, they have a culture problem. Studying hard in school is "acting white". [jstor.org] So is having a good work ethic. [nationalcenter.org]
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.
