  1. Immigrants come from countries that are suffering from war. It is interesting to see how these wars are held and from which countries. It is commonly known that we live in an economical system that allows free market to expand everywhere without rules with one major reason : profit. With the development of the west countries, USA and Europe, the capitalists of these countries they take advantage of poor countries that have however mineral wealth and try to take control by economical exploitation and by war in order to gain more. Big oil and food factories are transferred to poor countries and exploit poor people in exchange with a small salary after they had beat them with a war.
    These situations cause a big wave of immigrants that travel long miles to find a better life in Europe and in developed countries. In Greece we have many immigrants that come from Middle East, and the greek government with her fascist policy try to marginalize them, to catch them and many times the greek police maintain them in prisons or open fire against them. Unfortunately in greeks border they have discovered many times mass graves of immigrants. The attacking of the government does not stop there as with the participation of the media they try to rumor many prejudice to greek people in order to grow in hatred and coverage with this manner many of the greek problems.
    But immigrants are not in Greece for beeing rebels or fighting greek people. They come here for working and try to survive in the same moment that for us survival is more explicit. Here is the big question. Why Greece keeps on beeing in NATO and participates with soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq and has cooperations with the Israeli army? To conclude, it is certainly that the expansive policy of free market is behind wars and not the discrimination of peoples. Peoples have nothing to let them separated. These wars lead to an increasing number of immigrants and alongside increase the exploitation of people by the profits of the market.
