MAKE MICROSOFT GREAT AGAIN: Bill Gates Says EU Must Prevent Migrants From Coming

   DailyWire.com

What happened to Bill Gates?

Last year Gates spoke to the BBC, and when the interviewer noted that the refugee crisis “could not be solved by money alone,” Gates eventually responded:

The U.S. should set a better example by taking more refugees in. We should have the capacity, even though it’s not easy. I think Germany and Sweden are to be congratulated for being more of an ‘open door’ approach on this thing. You know, the total number of refugees is not like world record; the political sensitivity about refugees and the tightness of the budgets is what’s making this one particularly acute.

But now

Gates is saying that instead of opening the European Union borders, Brussels should send more foreign aid. He argued, “On the one hand you want to demonstrate generosity and take in refugees, but the more generous you are, the more word gets around about this — which in turn motivates more people to leave Africa … [Germany cannot] take in the huge, massive number of people who are wanting to make their way to Europe.”

Gates added that the EU must make it “more difficult for Africans to reach the continent via the current transit routes” while relieving “enormous pressure” by sending foreign aid. He lauded German Chancellor Angela Merkel, calling it “phenomenal” that Germany is spending 0.7% of the country’s GDP on foreign aid.
