Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Migrants and Refugees (HBO)

your you know that thing Belgium is in if if you watch the news at all lately

0:09

you cannot have missed what has been happening there

0:11

Europe's migrant crisis is getting worse by the day in my current crisis

0:15

spiralling out of control hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers are risking

0:20

everything on human wave washing over Europe southern shores hundreds of

0:24

thousands of migrants have streamed into Europe the largest influx there since

0:28

the end of World War Two wow the launches since the end of World War Two

0:33

and remember millions of people back then was searching both for a better

0:37

life until the booth where it was rumored you could slap 28 hitler and

0:41

unlock the scale of this story can be hard to get your head around hundreds of

0:46

thousands of people on the move just within Europe and another four million

0:50

are being hosted in Turkey Lebanon and Jordan and when numbers get that high

0:54

they can be hard to comprehend it's like when someone tells you the size of the

0:58

audience of NCIS New Orleans 17 million people how's that even possible how many

1:06

navy placed crimes could there possibly be in new owners and when you are

1:13

dealing with a mass of people that large you really want to be a little careful

1:16

with how you describe them unfortunately David Cameron noted alleged swine

1:22

fellatio recently referred to a swarm of people coming across the Mediterranean

1:28

and that language matters because a swarm of anything sounds terrifying no

1:33

matter what it is if I hear there are a lot of Kings coming my way I'm going to

1:38

be delighted

1:39

but if I hear there is a small approaching I'm grabbing a shotgun and

1:43

I'm getting too high ground I'm not going to let those for Rifqa strike me

1:47

like some in the media have chosen to reduce the migrant population to one

1:57

simple stereotype a new video services online showing why some are worried

2:02

Europe is opening its doors to potential terrorists are reportedly muslim

2:14

refugees on a train in europe chanting Allah Akbar or god is great to be clear

2:19

we're not saying that any of those people are terrorists or in any way

2:22

affiliated with a terror group but it does highlight just how many of these

2:26

refugees who are fleeing violence in Iraq and Syria are Muslim ok ok you

2:33

don't get to claim that you're not calling those people terrorists when you

2:36

lower third says terrorists in pound question mark if you are really not

2:42

saying that terrorists might be changed to something more accurate like people

2:45

take train somewhere hats of those left

2:50

and second video on the migrant crisis is a little misleading we found a video

3:01

uploaded onto YouTube back in 2010

3:04

well before this crisis even began and if you are going to use misleading old

3:09

footage to try and make people frightened of Muslims why stop there

3:13

just go the whole way and use a clip from true lies to be clear we're not

3:17

saying that any of those people are terrorists or in any way affiliated with

3:21

a terror group but it does highlight just how many of these refugees who are

3:25

fleeing violence let's just take a step back because for the record these people

3:38

coming from many different countries and playing everything from civil war

3:42

economic stagnation each story is unique

3:45

many of them 16 and from Syria disabled from birth she kind of war and made the

3:53

dangerous crossing from Turkey last week

4:01

understand why the world every country has returned for registration on

5:08

december the 21st and that could be a tricky three-month wait because he's not

5:13

allowed to work in that time and yet that is nothing compared to this forum

5:17

given to an Iraqi refugees in Turkey telling him to come back on june 15 2017

5:23

which sounds bad before you know just the pink sticky note added at the bottom

5:29

clarifying that he's actual date will be February 19 20 21 that is ridiculous

5:35

these people can't go five years without working their refugees not Renee

5:40

Zellweger

5:41

and facing that kind of limbo it's no wonder refugees want to try to push

5:47

deeper into your and many of them one surprising country in particular that

5:52

seems to actually want them they keep coming

5:55

thousands every day at the main train station in Munich preferred destination

6:06

for so many refugees amazingly one of the warmest welcome to offer to

6:11

immigrants comes from Germany a country whose idea of a bedtime story is to

6:16

children being left to die in the forest reporting nearly cooked and then

6:21

motoring and unfortunately many politicians in other countries in

6:28

Germany actively hostile to anyone even considering settling within their

6:33

borders no way it's a Danish government has published the Lebanese newspapers

6:48

the text is obviously written in Arabic and it's selling migrants don't come to

6:53

Denmark regulations and constraints that await them there

6:58

Denmark is so averse to taking people in its basically placing intentionally

7:03

missed connections as in other countries

7:06

Danish government official you person in the lebanese refugee camp from the

7:10

moment I saw you I knew that was nothing between us and it could never work

7:13

perfect sent even approach things friendly next to the video apparently

7:20

produced

7:21

of Ashutosh in Hungary showing exactly how he and his police will tease will

7:26

prevent migrants from coming to town

7:57

scary music as you want

8:06

there is nothing imposing about one van driving along on a country road the only

8:11

message that he's sending democracies make sure you wait for that one van

8:15

surpassed by border police and nightclub bouncers are not about to throw some

8:24

girls with them and that is no outlier hungary has been responsible for at

8:33

least mistreatment of refugees in Europe

8:42

of caged animals in a holding pen it's a shocking video garnered attention from

8:48

around the world as waves of desperate migrants holding Kevin hungry a

8:53

camerawoman running the woman also other migrants as they run including a young

9:01

girl now the cameraman is out of a job

9:04

oh I'm sorry she lost her job that's absolutely terrible don't worry I'm sure

9:10

she can find a new one on actual monster.com

9:13

to be fair she later apologized saying I'm not a heartless racist children

9:18

kicking camerawoman which occurred only presuming she's a loving accepting

9:23

children kicking camerawoman children kicking part is not really up for debate

9:28

anymore even those countries who are offering to take refugees are sometimes

9:33

making those offers indeed most insulting Lee selective way that

9:39

Christians Muslims migrants coming into the country Muslim asylum-seekers

9:46

because they haven't got any mosque in case you don't have any mosques you can

9:55

build mosques don't naturally occur in the wild

10:00

erosion particularly devout Muslims to resettle in Scottsdale Arizona and when

10:16

refugees I'm not be excluded on the basis of religion that being accused of

10:20

being lazy freeloaders just listen to one published MEP address the European

10:25

Parliament benefits and pretty strong words coming from the Polish Six Flags

10:55

going and what what he said he's not just offensive it's also wrong research

11:01

has shown that while some small costs in the short term eventually an influx of

11:06

immigrants into a community tends to raise wages for everyone else and I

11:11

working paper published last year

11:13

economies found that immigration benefited local population in nineteen

11:17

of the 20 industrialized countries they start adding immigrants makes things

11:23

better nineteen times

11:25

up to 20 that's a success rate matched only by bacon and Paul rut and it's it's

11:31

just a little hard to hear these migrants and refugees being pulled lazy

11:36

considering how hard many of them have worked to reach Europe in the first

11:40

place you would want to talk about

11:42

migrants played on the only things always escape public indifference and it

11:51

almost certain future as the total of Prince Harry's entourage as a continent

12:09

according to the UN the average woman needs to have 2.1 children to maintain

12:17

the population of a developed country but in the European Union every single

12:21

country is below that 2.1 level by 2050 some countries like Greece Portugal and

12:28

Germany will see that populations dropped by double-digit percentages

12:32

according to Pew if you're doesn't open its doors to more migrant this is not

12:39

the changing face of Europe should be frightened Gulf this is everything is

12:47

going to be the perfect economic Wellspring but instead of worrying about

12:50

the hypothetical downside of letting these migrant seen country should be

12:54

more worried about the actual downside of turning them if you might miss out on

13:01

someone like imogene who seems like she would in any country that would just

13:06

listen to how she told herself English

13:10

in fact even into marriage Walker who is also impregnated and then he kidnaps

14:02

sammy's baby and I don't think it was dead shot him in the head but you know

14:06

what that's the kind of thing couples do besides go through all that and yes yes

14:13

I did then cheat on Sammy before their wedding with that Trollope apical

14:17

temporal but he still didn't deserve to die from yet another gunshot wound even

14:22

though yes it was the best reckless from to have a secret meeting with hillbilly

14:26

drug lord k-lite Western in the middle of the points

14:41

and any country would be lucky to have her lots of people still have these

14:53

fears that migrants will bankrupt social systems which many studies show does not

14:58

happen

14:58

fears that migrants might have an ice member looking among them which there

15:02

has been no credible example of and no one is saying this is easy but the fact

15:07

it's so hard is not a reason to do less reason to do more from countries

15:12

expediting the application process to properly funding the UN High Commission

15:16

for Refugees responding to Syrian refugees in neighboring countries is

15:20

less than half of where it needs to be to simply and I know this sounds crazy

15:24

just not kicking them when they're moving around and there is actually one

15:35

thing that we thought we could do it is admittedly very small and it is just 41

15:40

refugees and we sold justifiably saddened by the death of EJ from days of

15:47

our lives we made some calls and we have a surprise that he's literally just for

15:52

you

16:39

bigotry and hatred from a child that my child I read about this incredible 16

17:26

year old girl from yes jeans

Proposal has refugee and immigrant support group 'excited'

Sherman Chan, director of family and settlement services with Mosaic, an organization that helps to settle refugees and immigrants, says he's excited by the proposal.
"I think it's really a true reflection of what we believe: that we're proud to have refugees and that we believe we can do it," he said.
"I think giving them the opportunity to stay at a resort or a place that they can be at ease without worrying where they're going to live and when they're going to depart … I think that's an exciting opportunity for them."
He says that while the resort is remote, the fact that all the refugees are in one place would make it less difficult to get them used to Canadian culture and access social services, especially since the resort has vehicles.
"Golden, I've been there many times. It's a good town with good facilities that people can use, or they can interact with the local Canadians and long-term residents and really build up relationships," he said.
He says the things that Assaf and the owners of Beaverfoot need to ensure are in place are orientation support, cultural support and language education.
Chan says the local community and groups like Mosaic could be valuable partners.
