German Chancellor made his comments in an interview with weekly ‘Der Spiegel’. Scholz is focusing on migration after a pair of regional elections in which voters punished his three-party coalition
Europe is responsible for crisis in other parts of the world, which leads to migration in the first place. Germany
Germany was steadfastly opposed to the Iraq war. A fairer solution would be that European countries which joined that war, like Poland and the UK, take all the Syrian and Iraqi refugees. They helped cause the problem, it’s only fair that they should help solve it.

Ukrainians are highly educated and motivated. Employment rates in some EU countries are as high as 40%. I’m afraid that you can’t say the same about some of the migrants Europe fails to deport.
If there’s a choice between someone who never learnt to read, versus someone who knows advanced calculus, it makes no sense to choose the former. Especially as they’re less likely to have problematic political views.
If there’s a choice between someone who is genuinely fleeing persecution, or someone who escaped a Tunisian jail and went on to murder people because he wasn’t deported after his request for asylum was refused, that’s also an easy choice.
