Austria prepares to deport Syrian migrants after Assad regime falls
Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, the U.K. said they will halt Syrian asylum applications one day after rebel forces ousted the country’s dictator.

Austria has announced plans to deport Syrian migrants following the fall of the country’s dictator Bashar Assad to rebel forces after 13 years of civil war, while Belgium, France, Greece and Germany are pausing Syrian asylum applications.

“I have instructed the ministry to prepare an orderly return and deportation program to Syria,” Interior Minister Gerhard Karner told Austrian media, without clarifying which migration statuses would be targeted. Some 100,000 Syrians live in Austria, according to the country’s statistics agency.

One day after Syrian rebel factions, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) — designated as a terrorist organization by the United States and the United Kingdom — took Damascus, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Greece and the Netherlands are using the success of the rebels to revise their migration policies, with all six closing their doors to asylum seekers. The U.K. has also said it will stop processing asylum applications from Syrians.

The decisions to revise the asylum policies come as anti-immigrant far-right parties have surged in popularity across the European Union in recent months. Germany, for example, faces snap elections in February, with far-right parties currently performing strongly in the polls.

Obviously, Politico couldn’t leave that bit of moonbattery out. Maybe citizens in 1st World Countries are simply tired of being overrun with foreigners who do not share their values, their mores, their beliefs, their culture, and so much more, and refuse to assimilate to the host countries, all while being told that

• Citizens of the host country must assimilate to the foreigners
• Money and housing will go to the foreigners
• Citizens just need to suck it up when it comes to things like crime, assault, sexual assault, and so much more from the foreigners
• If citizens say or do anything Mean in person or on the Internet the citizens could go to jail

Seriously, it’s not like many of these Syrians are Islamic extremists, right, and, that most tend to be fighting age men, right?

(Washington Post) Some have been eager to return — as they felt the pull of family, faced the difficulty of building new lives in resistant host countries or found themselves in places even more unstable. As Lebanon emerged as the latest battleground in the Middle East, thousands of Syrians had begun streaming back across the border.

But for refugees who have spent more than a decade in the liberal democracies of Europe, returning to a Syria under an Islamist government, even one that has publicly pledged tolerance, could be a jarring change, particularly for children.

The problem here is that the Syrians are mostly keeping their own culture. They have not given up their Syrian ways.

If Biden-Harris want to attempt to bring Syrians they’d have to do it quickly, obviously. Be thankful Harris did not win, I could easily see her taking tens of thousands if not more Syrians in, all unvetted. Trump won’t. Trump will most likely look to send the ones here back.
