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."

Well that is because none of the North American ones could build past the large village stage without drowning in their own waste. Now the ones South of the border managed a few cities.... just don't look to close at the human sacrifice and other abhorrent practices. Kinda hard to condemn the Conquistadors too loudly for wiping them out. And who cares, they were immigrants too, they just got here a little before the Europeans.

Sauce?
The ones who didn't build cities were hunter gatherers. When you move around you don't waste time building giant structures.
Spot on with the just immigrants point though. Technically the europeans are the original african migrants.
