Germany alone expects as many as a million asylum-seekers this year. It is risible to think that European governments will be able to deport, or “repatriate” in diplomacy-speak, any substantial fraction of these arrivals.
难民从陆路和海路进入欧洲。光是德国，预计今年就将接受多达一百万寻求庇护者。认为欧洲政府仍能驱逐，或用外交辞令说，能“遣返”大部分这些到来者是荒谬的。他们就像是橡皮球，必然会弹回来。
