In Holland and Bulgaria, the creation of Turkish-Islamic political parties has created tensions between the two governments and Ankara, while Denmark is experimenting with the assimilation of migrants through imposed regulations aimed at countering feelings of alienation and marginalization. In Eastern Europe, by contrast, the conversation is mainly about the incompatibility of Christian and Muslim cultures.
Spain, Italy, and Greece have been the entry points for illegal immigration into the continent, which can be stopped should Europe display the necessary resolve. Expelling criminal migrants is possible, though it is difficult to find countries that will accept them. A far greater challenge is expelling non-criminal illegals, which Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Salvini has pledged to do at the rate of 100,000 migrants per year over the next five years.
For now, proposed solutions to relieve the migration crisis plaguing Europe are at an embryonic phase. The extent of their success, however, is not only important for the vast and prosperous continent but will likely influence future developments in the United States.

Second generation Muslims are not getting jobs – check out the stats – they are stockpiling arms in the mosques and murdering and raping Kuffar children and women, , Jews and RC Bishops as a hobby in their preamble to their First European Intifada where they will demand that the Kuffar end their occupation of their European Historic Homeland.

One of the BIGGEST Globalist Lies adn Myths.
Yeah start thinking about it and start realizing that the “dwindling” population of Japan not only has cause NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS , Japan and Korea’s economies continue to skyrocket.
There is OVERPRODUCTION because of technology. There is less need for labor and much more goods and wealth.
The question is not where wil the money come from , but where does the wealth go?
It goes into the coffers of the Globalist Power Elite who amass large fortunes and keep the population unnecessarily poor as a means of gaining political and economic power. Current old age schemes are a deceit and a ponzi scheme. There is the wealth of Gods to go around and always will be now. . The profits are not being shared with the capitalists who earn them.
This is why communism and socialism are so popular among the unwashed youth of today. They see the injustice. But the problem is not capitalism but corrupt non-democratic capitalism which has become fascist totalitarianism.
Need proof? Three letters – >>MSN.
At both ends of the scale left and right are authoritarian murderous dictatorships. Capitalism is almost dead since most of the capital is dominated by the globalists. Unless this situation is reversed the world will enter into the ultimate Hades it has never seen before. After the cataclysm from the Hijra created by the Globalists , where hundreds of millions will perish, one or the other side will win – Islam or Globalism, but humanity will lose – either to perish in barbarism or become the chemically, genetically and indoctrinated lobotomized vacant human shells serving the elite.
Immigration? Asian does without it just fine without Western style Multiculturalism for 3500 years. Rome gave the West Multiculturalism in the form of Empire. It only works when it is under empire, Pax Romana , not Pax Diversity. Diveristy will give you Pox.

Your posts are improving from really very bad, to just very bad…..keep up the good work… poor thing you have verbal diarrhea….. A good strong dose -about a pint-

In today’s world we can no longer afford to live in a vacuum and ignore what is going on in the rest of the world. Trade, travel, and telecommunications have made the nations of the modern world more interdependent than ever before and today more than ever before – we need to desperately seek solutions to climate change, water scarcity, pollution, over population, and Third World poverty.
We need economists, ecologists, scientists, great thinkers, and activists, to help us put our sustainability on the cultural and political map and come up with the answers for our survival.
Reality is capitalism needs growth and growth needs migration,without it we wither and die a slow death, dreamers who think any country can forever remain a mono culture, even if ANY country could return to such a state, is bound for disappointment look at the world as it is today, then look back 30 years see it as it was, we are bound for change, and the change can be made much easier if SOME on all sides stop demanding a world that will change to fit their wanted one.
This is not a pro Muslim post it is in fact a wish that everyone see truth is some from both sides must see reality.
Immigration’s contribution to population growth is very likely going to increase during the next 30 to 50 years at least because of the ageing of Western population with deaths catching up to births.
Let us not forget that many of the current problems that exist today – we were a part of causing those problems by supporting the US and interfering in the internal affairs of various countries from which the refugees are now fleeing. For example, Syria – rebels rose up against Syrian government the West stepped in to assist. The Russians stepped in to help the government and now we have millions of refugees. Before that we had Iraq. what I see happening, and included Migrants because it is my view that may be the only way to gain entry in to the future western world.First it is my view refugee flows will get massively more than they currently are, and that will, like it or not, bring border fences down on them,,,long before the 50 years,migration is lumped by some, too many, in with concerns about refugees, look at the Aussie/Croatians cheering for their fathers and mothers country in the world cup, it to me at least proves integration worked, never convince me multiculturalism, in the form it now is, is not,,, harming every one involved. In say 20 years SOME hat tipping to western values will take place in today’s Migrants and refugees via their children, who knows? acceptance may be the fashion in 50 years Some times to solve a problem both sides, yes both, must give ground and take the best result on offer not total victory.
The Australian government has confirmed that as part of their Refugee and Humanitarian Program – as of March 2018-2019 the program will increase its intake of people to 18,750. Which indicates that this will probably continue to grow. Therefore long- term global solutions such as aid, population control, education are possibly things that need to be looked at on the global level. If we want a comfortable living in this country, we can’t just ignore the poor in other countries – or we’ll be in trouble. Actually, many of those countries, especially the war-torn ones are in trouble because of our involvement in their affairs – supporting our allies like the US in Iraq and elsewhere for example.
“Australia would risk its future prosperity if it chose the isolationist path on immigration.” This warning was made by former Victorian Premier Steve Bracks in his speech given at the 2010 Brooks Oration for Deakin University.
He stressed the fact that Immigrants had been pivotal to the nation’s post war success and that they remain vital for the coming century.
“We need migrants. We need them in our workforce to drive our economy into the 21st century. We need them to help us to make the transition to a sustainable economy… It’s not a question of yes or no on migration.”
Mr Bracks said that it was not in our interest to be isolationists. That we have to guard against the demonising of entire communities, because that’s the kind of “Fortress Australia” mentality that led to the isolationism and monoculturalism of the White Australia Policy.
The former Labour Premier spoke about the fact in which both parties had rejected a “Big Australia.” Picking up on the public mood of resentment over inflated house prices, over crowded public transport and road congestion and in some cases over immigrant groups creating cultural enclaves within big cities. He spoke about setting caps on immigrants – so that sustainability could be maintained. However –
He made it quite clear that if we become insular in our thinking we will miss out on new opportunities for the kind of investment
and next-generation technologies we need to make a leap forward in our economy.
And if we miss out on these opportunities overseas, the future prosperity and sustainability of our nation will be at risk.
Mr Bracks said the current political leaders should heed to lessons of the recent past. The success or failure of multiculturalism is not just up to our government leaders. Leaders can lead by example. Ultimately though, the day-to-day task of living and working alongside people who may appear on face value to be different falls to communities.
However one of the positive things going our way is that we have broken ground with world leaders who today are taking notice of a vast army of experts who are willing and able to guide us through the coming difficult years. A better world is possible. It will take effort. It will be difficult. But it will be worth it.
As for Multiculturalism? Multiculturalism will not destroy culture. Multiculturalism strengthens cultures. It creates more variety and encourages pluralism.When considering cutting immigration – we need to take into account our ageing population because it faces a number of risks to living standards including health and aged care costs and a smaller share of working-age people to produce goods, services and wealth. Perhaps the most alarming is the threat of a shrinking population and the effect this would have.
In South Korea and Japan for example, very low birth rates combined with few immigrants and high life expectancy have led to a dwindling workforce and a rapidly growing elderly population. These countries may be in serious trouble. Bears thinking about.
