It's more of a definitive topic on whose information still relies on sentimental talking points pushed by MSM a few years ago.
Basically you just see which people are completely out of touch, and just stubbornly repeating mantras that have long since been disproven, and whose facts are still up-to-date. @sweede held much of the same opinions that you do on the subject, but then the facts started coming to light in the media. Unlike some people he has adjusted his stances accordingly, as people are expected to do when they come across new information.
Umm.
How the heck was Hungary the first safe country for refugees coming from the Middle East? The way I see it there's even a bunch of countries where Muslim communities live, in between, Turkey, Bosnia, Kosovo, etc. How does Hungary end up as the destination, unless you're just blatantly trying to cross to Germany or North Europe?
Let's face the facts, none of those refugees wanted to remain in Hungary, anyway.
Hungary did take a bunch of Ukrainians who were actually a neighbouring country in crisis:
Viktor, an ethnic Hungarian who spoke on condition his surname not be used, is one of some 43,000 Ukrainian citizens registered as working in EU member Hungary, alongside 6,200 Serbians, 2,700 Vietnamese and 1,800 Indians, according to reports citing the National Directorate of Alien Policing.

The people who think that these countries haven't done their share in carrying the refugee burden obviously don't know that these countries carried the majority of the burden when it came to the Ukrainian crisis. So now they're supposed to take hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern Muslims who do not want to live in these countries, and who are seeking to unite with their communities in Germany, Sweden, etc. on top of that? It's a futile talking point. It's bullshit pushed by Germans and others out of bitterness, to deflect blame to random tiny "racist" countries, the currently acceptable punching bags for the EU and cosmopolitans.
Fact is they didn't do jack-shit when Ukraine, a fellow European country became destabilized. Still made back-room deals with Russia and the banks helped launder their money. The fact is that these countries have established Muslim communities, mosques, etc. which are an incentive for Muslim refugees to move there, unlike Hungary or Poland or whatever. Not to mention social welfare services and employment opportunities. As well as a strong, healthy GDP which makes them more capable to bear the costs of creating new migrant centers, providing them with a humane level of welfare, granting free health care services, and so forth.
