Nigerian Cardinal Says Stop Encouraging Africans to Migrate

ROME — Cardinal Francis Arinze has urged Europeans to cease encouraging Africans to migrate to Europe, insisting that people are better off in their home countries.

In an interview with the Catholic Herald last week, the 86-year-old Cardinal Arinze, once considered a top candidate for the papacy, said that when countries lose their young people to migration, they lose the people who can best build their nation’s future.

“So the countries in Europe and America can sometimes help best, not by encouraging the young people to come to Europe as if they looked on Europe as heaven – a place where money grows on trees – but to help the countries from which they come,” he said.

“It is best for a person to stay in that person’s own land – country, town, area – and work there,” he said, while acknowledging that at times that is not possible. He also said that government leaders of countries with high rates of emigration should examine their consciences to determine why it is that so many people are leaving.

I wish the corrupt idiots leading Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras understood this.

Often true, but they haven't been sending us their best.

Cardinal Sarah denounced the Church’s push for migration into Europe in powerful language, insisting that most immigrants wind up in Europe “without work or dignity” and assume the condition of slaves.

I often think that those in business that advocate open borders are thinking exactly this.

Imagine a hundred guys arriving tomorrow. You evaluate all of them and find that only five have what you’d consider a decent education, some skill-craft, and at least acceptable talent for languages. So the other 95? They ran a fruit cart for their uncle, or picked fruit. Their education-level is basic 5th grade comprehension. This acceptance of this...just creates an acceptable level of slave-employment.

I would have liked to see him or Cdl. Sarah as Pope instead of the commie sjw we have now.

So true. Not only that,they are not assimilating and we have a segment of our government that encourages non assimilation.

[Eurotwit]

They do.

And, a lot worse.

Seems silly to add learning a new language on top of all the other issues an Africanwr has to deal with nowadays.

Irelands leadership realized this 50 years ago and asked the US to limit the number they took in (and the US government complied). They were losing their best and their brightest; India and Red China are suffering the same fate. Not that all Indians and Chinese immigrants are geniuses, but they are the ones motivated enough to flee while still being able to offer SOMETHING to another country.
