Here in Indiana we know the Roma as Gypsy. They are universally unwanted.

Why risk these people's lives and destroy the future for these kids, in a politically motivated move. What is the point in that? Why such a desire to show Kosovo a "success"? Everybody on this earth, who has a literacy above forth grade knows that Kosovo is heavily criminalized, and that Pristina "government" simply represents a decor, a puppet of the crime families. In all fairness, EU did not create the mess. The mess has been created by the foreign policy of Bill Clinton, and his hubristic notion of controlling Europe through perpetual crisis in the Balkans. Serbs until today, those that have remained trapped in "enclaves", live behind barbed wires. I can also see the little Roma kids behind barbed wires, the only way they would survive in that society. It is a joke to think that there is such a thing as a functioning economy, where one can get a job and a decent roof over one's head. The immigrants from Albania have already appropriated all the empty Serb homes and apartments, and none is left for returning Serbs, let alone for Roma. What would be their fate? They would be "allowed" to collect trash and metal scraps for a pittance. They will be abused on every turn. They will not be able to school their children. And they will seek every avenue to escape their fate. Granted, Europe has inherited the mess from US, and now it has to make what it can out of it. But US still holds the reigns of control, making it very difficult for Europeans to do much. Let's not throw these kids into Kosovo political swamp. Show some kindness. Those who think that by adding Roma in the mix, Albanians can show successfully how they can work with Roma, and how only Serbs are "obstinate", need to leave such ideas at the college whence they came from. Do not experiment on these kids, and do not count on Albanian civility. A big, big mistake.

These people were allowed into to Germany as "temporary" refugees. That is why they and all their children are being sent back. Germany is not a dumping ground for the world's wandering "refugees" and "asylum seekers". These people should go to the UK or Sweden where they will receive a warm welcome. When in Sweden, they should head for Malmo whose Estonian mayor made a political career out of catering to "asylum seekers" at the expense of local Swedes.

When will the Germans learn to get out of social engineering? I can't believe I'm reading this after tens of millions of civilian deaths at the hands of the Nazis. This should be like a warning light going off at a nuclear power plant. Every one of Germany's social experiments involving other ethnic groups have been human rights catastrophes..yet...the Brits, French & now the Americans.....like P.M. Chamberlain before WWII, seem to think that these 'new' Germans who drive around in shiny , new Mercedes & BMWs, live in clean & efficient cities are not capable of inhuman acts......Where is the politically correct Western media on this one?...And more ominous, where is the powerful Jewish lobby and all its media muscle? The more sane Germans themselves must be appalled at the ease with which they are sliding into their old militaristic ways. NATO German troops in Nazi-style helmets already preside over a gangster state in Kosovo ethnically cleansing all Serbs except those in fenced compounds...what chance would the Gypsies have?
