Europe Says No
With all the recent scare about terrorist attacks, people all over the world have started to develop a certain paranoia towards migrants. Europe has always been accepting of refugees, especially Syrian refugees who are trying to escape their war-torn country. Countries, such as Greece, accept almost 1000 refugees a day. Due to their close proximity to Turkey, Syrian refugees have secretly crossed the border in order to reach the coast; when they arrive they take a dangerous trip across the sea in small motor powered dinghy's. Not all make it across. Now Europe is closing their boarders to stop migrants from entering the country. Now if we take a look at past and recent cases of attacks, it comes to no surprise as to why their paranoia would occur.

Taking a Look Back
The Paris attack was a heavy blow to the European nations. It couldn't have been predicted, like the recent attack on Brussels, Belgium.

I think that the incumbent political leaders have created a plan of action to fuel the fears of the people. This plan has resulted in the closing of borders and mistreatment of some groups of our human race.
