    If they’re anything like other western countries, they already do.

    Typically it’s standard to have refugees undergo basic language and civics education before integrating them with the rest of the community. The gold standard is to set them up with subsequent employment.

      That would be nice, many are less fortunate, you could point to the camps in Lesbos, or the general treatment of migrants at the south-eastern EU border where they do illegal pushbacks into Serbia instead of taking care of people seeking refuge. You could point to the endless death in the Mediterranean that is just not being televised anymore.

      Europe is an inhumane monster, anybody who says otherwise can fight me.

        My apologies. I’m speaking mostly from a New Zealand perspective.

        Over here, we’re fortunate enough to have Australia take the bulk of the refugees and put them in offshore concentration camps for us, so we don’t get our hands dirty.

        But the few refugees we do take, we put through basic courses for a month or two in a camp before integrating into the wider community.

          Sorry I didn’t mean to attack you.

          In all fairness, if you make it to ie Germany and you can proof that you come from a country Germany can’t wiggle out of accepting like Syria, you get basically the treatment you mentioned, but if you only flee from poverty in ie Serbia(not part of EU) they send you the fuck back no matter if you’ll end up on the street.

          I just wanted to point out what hypocrites we are in Europe. But it seems that, at least your neighbors, are not much different than us.

      Uyghurs aren't refugees though. Even if the response is better than the US, it's with taking a critical look at practices that may result in cultural assimilation, a rise in racism against a minority group, and leave a lot of room for individual cases of abuse.
