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."

None, because the correct answer is to just say no to taking in Suckistanis in the first place. If you take over Suckistan you still get to take care of all those Suckistanis who can't maintain a civilization on their own, only now you get to do it while "all right thinking people", the U.N. and such condemn you as a "colonialist power" and human rights abuser.
Our basic problem is Colonialism stopped being profitable, which was the true reason why the Colonial Powers were willing to part with their overseas possessions. They can't govern themselves and maintain anything like the greatly expanded populations made possible while they were under competent administration and we get sadz seeing the quantities of dying children that would be required for their population to fall back to balance.
What we need is to devise a less than horrific form of government and a basic technology simple enough for 70 IQ people to mostly maintain on their own but capable of feeding themselves and avoiding horrors. Any ideas?
