If he wants it all to go to migrants, giving it to the government would almost be the worst possible way to ensure that will happen.

While you are correct, most governments would undoubtably find much less productive uses for this money than helping either their own citizens or migrants and refugees, I would still prefer that choice be left up to society and not the whims of a person who's investments vehicles are most likely engaged in rampant tax avoidance or even worse, outright tax evasion.

Then change the tax laws. It's silly to suggest that they should pay more to the government than is legally required. Actual tax evasion comes with pretty serious penalties, so people with loads of money tend to be pretty prudent when ensuring what they are doing with their taxes is legal.

I've seen a Syrian immigrant attempt to sexually assault a women with my own eyes. You should stay in your ivory tower if you want to be able to maintain your delusions.

I would prefer to see policies that will cost soros his money:

- weapons cannot be sold to countries we do not have reciprocal defence agreements with

- weapon and oil sanctions are enforced globally

- a decade long investment of around 5% of world GDP increasing energy efficiency, at the same time as building electricity pipelines to take solar from tropical zones to rest of world and an end to oil pipelines

- end to oil subsidies globally

- global agreements on water rights between countries, on investment and policy for efficient (drip) water use in agriculture

Grief, that's just off top of my head and is probably only half the problem. Basically if we can do all that, Soros will lose his wedge. I doubt he would mind too much.

He's saying that Soros directly supports policy that forces countries to accept migrants. Historically, alongside massive inflows of migrants there have been tremendous rises in violent crime and sexual assault in Northern European countries. As a prime example, take a look at related data for Sweden.

Soros is main sponsor of many very liberal pro-immigration NGOs in Eastern Europe

I hope you physically stopped the violent attack, took the perpetrator to the police and pressed charges.

Rape is a violent and sickening crime - that happens and is under prosecuted in every country, committed by native (men) as well as immigrant (men). It's not an immigrant problem, it's a man problem. Don't focus on the wrong causes of a problem in your blind hatred and prejudice.

The problem is - which country in the middle east will agree to host this city?

Syria at the turkish border

Why not Israel? It's fully developed and full of start-ups. Surely it just needs thousands of young men, many of whom will have videos of beheadings on their phones that they will share. Hey, that's an idea for a start-up!

I've seen a native citizen attempt the same. An anecdote doesn't make it a statistic. BTW, did you stop him, report him to the authorities or stood by as an idle observer?
