Why is it a risk to take in refugees from a different country than you thought they were?
It's dangerous because these people obviously lied and we have no idea who they really are. If you can't trust them to be honest about what country they're from, you can't trust them to be honest about anything. Especially since they're turning out to be from countries where most of the trouble stirs from. I'd have no problem if they were native British people. Or native Japanese people. Because these people have proven themselves to be mostly trustworthy. I see Japanese people in Finland all the time, and they never cause trouble, so I'm fine with them. If the refugees were Estonian or Russian, I would be more sceptical, because they've proven to not be the most trustworthy of people always. If they're from Afghanistan or Iraq, I am most definitely going to be skeptical, cause I've never had a good meeting with one. Does this make me racist? I don't think so; I am aware there are exceptions. You might call it racist, but I call it "judging from experience". This is how I judge Finnish people too. There are exceptions, but for the most part you can tell what people are like based on where they live, how they look etc. Stereotypes exist for a reason, even if not true 100% of the time.
How does taking in refugees destroy the country?
Taking our money, taking our jobs, causing trouble and doing illegal things in general. They're abusing our country to the fullest, and our own culture is slowly being destroyed in order to support theirs. Even older refugees themselves have complained about this. There was a refugee on radio one day, who's been here for +30 years. He said this new generation of immigrants is destroying the country, and that it's no longer the place he moved to, but is now turning into what he got away from in the first place. Basically, he said "If you move to Finland, you should live by Finland's customs, not by your own country's", which is exactly what they're not doing.
About how they are so rich and going home (to Syria? Really?), do you have sources? I've never heard this before and I would like to know if it's more than rich people confusing you into blaming the poor. Because that's what I suspect is happening. Refugees are not the ones with the power. If influential people are trying to blame them for bad things in your life, check if they aren't to blame themselves.
You've already made the decision that this is the case even though you have no idea, haven't you? What you said is not the case. In fact, influential people are doing everything they can to paint the refugees in a good light, cause they don't have to suffer because of them (yet). Only your average people and the poor do (the ones our government is trying to kill off anyway). It's hard to miss it here, when these "refugees" are practically constantly on TV, bragging about how much money they have, and how they're travelling left and right. And yes, in many cases saying they're going back home until the winter is over.
I actually personally know this one woman, who went and started dating a refugee a few years back. During this time, the guy (who supposedly "is really poor and can't afford anything") has been travelling to England and back around every two months. To nobody's surprise, during this time he managed to sneak his way into marriage with the woman, get her pregnant and then leave the country permanently just before the baby was born. Nobody's heard of him for months. Just one more immigrant to add to the list of troublemakers. This is literally happening all the time here, to many people.
