Should Austria's refugee policy be accepted endlessly?

On the 4th, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Guterres called on Europe to expand formal channels and accept more refugees fleeing the war. On the same day, in the face of huge international and domestic public opinion pressure, the British, Austrian and German governments indicated that they would allow more refugees to enter the country.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Guterres said in a statement on the 4th that Europe is facing the worst refugee crisis in decades, and the EU is currently preparing to hold an emergency meeting on mass smuggling and refugee crisis. If the fragmented situation of the countries concerned cannot be changed, it will be difficult for Europe to take effective large-scale concerted action. In the face of this crisis, no country can act alone, and no country can be immune.

On the same day, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that in the face of the increasingly serious refugee crisis, Britain decided to accept thousands more refugees. Britain has a "moral responsibility" to accept more refugees, but it will not join the EU refugee quota plan, and will directly accept refugees from refugee camps opened by the United Nations in the Syrian border area.

On the same day, the Austrian and German governments also agreed to release the refugees pouring into Europe. According to the Hungarian News Agency, Austrian Prime Minister Feynman said in a telephone conversation with Hungarian Prime Minister Orban that in view of the urgent situation, Austria and the Austrian government will allow refugees to enter Hungary after consultation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. It is reported that in the early morning of the 5th, several buses full of refugees left Budapest East Station in Hungary for Austria and Germany.

Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy said on the same day that although it is an expedient measure to rationally distribute among EU countries according to their respective economic conditions and receiving capacity, Spain still supports it. However, in order to better solve the refugee crisis, Spain suggested that the European Commission should take a long-term view and formulate economic assistance plans for countries of origin or transit of refugees, at the same time, crack down on illegal human trafficking by war and carry out the repatriation of illegal immigrants in an orderly manner.

At present, the EU has not found effective measures to deal with the refugee tide acceptable to all member states. According to the latest figures released by UNHCR, from 1 to August this year, more than 300,000 refugees and illegal immigrants entered Europe via the Mediterranean, exceeding the sum of last year, and 80% of them came from Syria.
