Some people cannot stand the idea of foreign people coming into their country, even if they are fugitives. There are certainly some economic fugitives, and some criminals, and those deliver the ammunition for the far right-wingers to discredit all.
Maybe Europe is too liberal when it comes to immigration, and there are problems, and the rise of the right wing parties in Germany especially in economical weak counties like Saxonia and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be a problem. I still think it is better to help fugitives, but i seem to be pretty alone here.

What i absolutely miss is a european-wide clear position regarding immigration to all countries. We cannot let Greece and Turkey take the burden, while on the other hand Romania just closes its borders, while Germany seemingly ignores problems and gets on with business as usual.

edit: the EU indeed creates immigration numbers for its members to accept, usually based on financial strength and the number of the nation's inhabitants, to allow for a certain percentage of immigrants. Certain members like Romania simply refuse though. Of course e.g. Poland is not the classical immigration country, so it is easier for them. Romania is just putting on a show, while England (ab)uses real or made-up immigration numbers for its brexit. Fact is also that according to international law, a lot of countries would have to accept more immigrants than even the EU planned, for its members. So if e.g. England leaves and accepts international law, there will be even more immigrants. Or it disregards this law.

I would like to see the real actors in the Middle East to take responsibility, and accept immigrants. But the US are far away, and Russia does not seem to be the #1 choice for immigrants. Not that they would let them in anyway.
