World's Longest Welfare Line
Investors ^ | 9/22/2015 | Staff

Migrants: The EU has approved a plan to distribute 120,000 migrants among its member nations. Coming on the heels of the U.S.' decision to bring in 200,000 migrants, you can be sure of one thing: More are on the way.

To pretend that there's a "refugee crisis" when in fact many of these migrants aren't really refugees, but opportunists, is plain foolishness. That may sound harsh, but looking at the actual demographics of this wave shows it to be true.

As Britain's Daily Mail has reported, just one in five newcomers comes from war-torn, terrorist-afflicted Syria. The rest come from places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, even Albania. Other reports note that as many as seven in 10 are single men, not families fleeing war.

"Many of those who have opted to risk their lives to come to Europe have done so for economic reasons," noted David Davies, a Tory member of Parliament.

A recent study from Europe's Centre for Economic Policy Research concluded that a flood of refugees and asylum seekers will "adversely affect the skill composition of immigrants." That means a greater likelihood of long-term welfare dependence — creating what Harvard professor George Borjas calls the "magnet effect:" Migrants come, they establish themselves on welfare, and more come in their wake.

In the case of the EU, the migrants are not only low-skilled but mostly Muslim. What this portends for Europe isn't necessarily good. In the streets of Denmark this week, Muslim demonstrators called for the imposition of a caliphate. For those who don't know, Islam does not believe in a separation of church and state.

Babyless Europeans might now bask in the afterglow of their Judeo-Christian generosity, but they should ask themselves: Is Europe possible without Europeans?

The handouts to illegals and Muslims, in the name of humanitarian compassion, is a ploy by the Democrat and many in the Republicrat Party to booster their Voting numbers and keep them in power. Sounds sinister.

Sovereignty. Not very important until you lose it.

Take in the women and children TEMPORARILY, send the men back to fight for their country and arm them when they get there.

Then all the non-syrian refugees would stop....

Western civilization is dying indeed.

First the Muslims point a gun at your head and say let me in!

Second, the European or Westerner grabs the gun away from the Muslim.

Third, the Westerner tells the Muslim to stand back or else...

Fourth, the Westerner shows the Muslim he's serious by blowing his brains out...

Fifth, as the Westerner's soul rises out of his body, he says to the Muslim, “see, I told you I was serious and won't be provoked”...

The world’s longest welfare line is the US: Over 50 million people on the taxpayer teat.

I can just see the history books one day talking about the great plains war between the muslims and the mexicans in 2060.

It wont be called America anymore.

I recently went to the local Social Security office with a friend. I couldn’t believe the hordes of people there to collect goodies. Most appeared to be young and healthy.

The money won’t run out in Germany but the Germans will run out of patience once they see their land being trashed, their women raped and Sharia law being implemented...then the Krauts will overcome their WWII guilt and go berserk...count on it.

Other reports note that as many as seven in 10 are single men, not families fleeing war.

But the "news reports" on NPR are overwhelmingly about families with small children.

You mean sort of like the EBT card using crowd at the supermarket lines in the beginning of the month?

The way to curtail such an ‘invasion’ is to inform current beneficiaries that their amounts will be decreased and shared among those coming. (The Zero Sum cargo cult will be outraged)

Western Civilization is dying of stupidity.

Stupidity and cowardice.
Generations of indoctrination have caused people to despise their history and to bend the knee to the idol of 'tolerance'.

Many in the West would rather commit suicide, or get killed, than to be accused of being 'intolerant'...

The announcement of 10,000 was to lull us to sleep. Then Kerry mumbled something and now it’s 200,000, targeted to be transplanted to specific cities. Of course it’s planned, and won’t be the end of it.
