There are about half a dozen countries in Europe where their generous social programs have attracted people from less favourable situations within Europe for years, leading to social programs becoming over burdened and often abused. Resistance has built up from political actors to put the brakes on and it would seem something needed to be done.
But I would argue this is a different scenario now being faced. These poor people are fleeing for their lives, many leaving behind good homes and employment. Some carrying little children they take huge risks to escape the evil forces threatening their very existence.
Obviously the core reason for their exodus needs to be addressed to arrive at a permanent solution. But sadly this ain't likely to happen for at least a year and a half, so in the meantime leaders of Europe smarten up and accept your moral obligations and help out in this humanitarian crisis.

Meantime he has alienated many allies as he sweet talks the most dangerous tyrants and dictators currently threatening World Peace and freedom.
Right now Santa Clause is in Alaska for three days, renaming a mountain and pushing his climate change agenda. If he thinks the ice caps are melting now, wait till the agitators start tossing nukes around. But the World is stuck with him for another 17 months, so the World Leaders need to get with it NOW and reduce all this suffering.
