Nongovernmental politics/ The Migreurop Network and Europe's foreigner camps/ Claire Rodier

The article is about a network called Migreurop who wants to point to and discuss the immigration policies used by the European union. The discussion in Europe is whether or not the asylum seekers should be taken care of outside or within the European union.

Seems to me like a horrible suggestion. Like the text says it just puts the problem and the effects of the mistreated immigrants farther away so the it becomes more distant and less our problem.
Also the countries in the European union have such different views and policies to immigration that it seems difficult to unite on one way of handling the issue.
And when the asylum seekers are fleeing their country they are usually in danger in neighboring countries as well and need to cross the border in to safer territory.
