Conor Devlin attends Thompkins School in Katy. Texas. The essay topic is: An Informal Treatise on Immigration. Something that has been plaguing my mind. most of western Europe. and this presidential cycle. is immigration. Initially. let me delineate "refugees" and economic migrants because many people. especially the authoritarian left. like to use a sweeping generalization and label them all refugees when they are clearly not. Refugees are people who are forced to leave their country due to war. extreme persecution and natural disasters. An excellent example would be the Kurds in northern Iraq. who are currently in battle with the Turks. ISIS. and Russia. and the middle eastern Christians who are being executed and forcibly converted by ISIS and Islamic regimes. These people are the embodiment of refugees. the Kurds are fleeing from war and persecution and the Christians are fleeing from extreme persecution and discrimination. On the other hand we have the economic migrants who are abandoning their countries and arriving at the border of Europe by the thousands. These. predominately male muslims. have no desire to assimilate into Europe despite what many of Europes leaders may think. and they simply arrive wanting to receive benefits and free money from the European governments who seem all so willing to give them. The issue stems from the seemingly unwillingness on behalf of many leaders in the EU who simply do not want to be branded as racists for proposing the idea that introducing a population of people who are antagonistic and loathe the European culture could possibly be a bad idea.
Identified stereotypes
Generalization that Muslim migrants have no desire to assimilate into Europe and only want benefits.
