Asylum policy

in German published 2017-11
There is an unholy alliance between socialism and business interests in the issue of free immigration. The Social Democrats and the Red-Greens want open borders for ideological reasons and the economic managers want the highest possible rate of immigration. Economic managers do not care if employee wages thereby fall. As for the Social Democrats and the Red Greens, their ideology is ultimately more important than the wellbeing of their employees.
          In 2016, almost 5,000 asylum seekers drowned in the Mediterranean.
An untenable situation. How can this be prevented?
We could pick up the refugees in Libya and Lebanon with large-capacity aircraft or old cruise liners.
However, if Europe opened its borders, several million economic refugees would come to Europe every year.

         The do-gooders point their fingers to anyone who wants to limit the influx of refugees, crying: shame on you!
Nobody wants to be called a do-gooder, but neither do they want to be called a monster. What is the right attitude?
I think we should rather be guided by reason. Feelings certainly have an important place in our lives, but reason should always prevail in politics.
Politicians who are guided by reason must slow down rose-tinted politicians, economic lobbyists and do-good politicians.
Which of the following statements is more populist?
 - I am against building walls and I am against partitioning ourselves off.
 - We have to be realistic and, if necessary, strengthen our borders.
