"JUST PASSING THROUGH"

9/9/15 The News-Dispatch & 9/11/15 The Herald-Argus

Migrants fleeing the Syrian civil war and ISIS to seek safe haven in Europe have encountered resistance at the Hungarian border, leading to conflicts between the refugees and border patrols. Hungary doesn't want any unregistered immigrants, especially from Muslim countries, to take up residence there, out of prejudice and the misperception of them as terrorists. Germany and other more open nations in the EU are welcoming the Syrians, who are now being bussed there from Hungary.
Many Europeans are paranoid about losing their cultural identity to the influx of Muslims. Europeans have themselves to blame, and not Middle-Eastern immigrants, if that is their concern. Fewer Europeans, despite their social safety net, are opting to have children.
