I don't believe open immigration is always a sound policy. But what are the actual numbers on the current situation? How many people are moving from where to where? Why are they leaving their current countries, and why do they want to come to western europe?
My suspicion is that:
- There are legitimate reasons (humanitarian, political and economic) why they are leaving their countries
- Often the reasons are to do with western european nations being complicit in destabilizing their countries
- The current levels of migration are nothing unusual in historical terms
- The situation is being hyped up by politicians, news channels and newspapers to generate a story
- More immigration is happening in poorer countries where the impact is higher than in western europe
- Western europeans are merrily travelling/moving around the world and will reject any controls on this
- The wealthy are benefiting most from immigration, and yet are orchestrating the hate from working people against immigrants
There you go - some targets to shoot at.
