What to Make of the Islamic Migration Into Europe?
8th September 2015
Why is it that countries that don’t have lavish welfare systems are not target destinations? And also–why is it that the migrants are overwhelmingly young men? There are a few women, children and families; but numerically, young men predominate. This is not what one would normally expect from a group of refugees fleeing a war zone.
It’s not a migration, it’s an invasion. Western politicians, their heads wrapped in their own rhetoric, just can’t see it.
But a lot of damage will be done before the sentimentalists throw in the towel.
A LOT of damage.
It is often said that a country can have a welfare state or it can have open borders, but it cannot have both. In a world in which billions of people live in poverty and oppression, this strikes me as blindingly obvious. I am not optimistic that the current migration from the Middle East, Asia and North Africa into Europe will end well.
