UN TOLD EU TO ACCEPT 1.3M MORE MIGRANTS EVERY YEAR OR FACE POPULATION CRISIS

[Mr. Mojo]

The radical report, titled ‘Replacement Migration: Is It a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?’ advocates an influx of immigrants as a means of supporting an ageing population.

It projects that over the next 50 years the population of several western countries, including the UK, Germany, France and Italy, will steadily decline unless measures are taken to reverse the trend.

Penned in 2001, the report has resurfaced in the wake of the migrant crisis sweeping Europe.

It reads: “The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require comprehensive reassessments of many established policies and programmes, including those relating to international migration.

“Focusing on these two striking and critical population trends, the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries... and two regions.

“Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.”

The two regions the report focusses on is Europe and the European Union.

When breaking down migration into the European Union, it hypothesised the EU would need an extra 612,000 people per year between 2000-2025, and 1.3 m per year from 2025-2050 to prevent the overall population declining.

It adds: “The annual numbers of immigrants who would be needed to prevent the population of working-age from declining are about double the numbers received in the last decade.

“If one wishes to keep active support ratios at levels closer to what they are currently, without large numbers of immigrants, serious consideration would have to be given to increasing active participation in the labour force beyond the age of 65 years.”

The report states that if the current situation continued unchanged some countries would see their entire population decrease by a quarter or one third.

In order to support the older generations the retirement age would need to be raised to 75.

Recent figures from Eurostat, the statistical arm of the European Union (EU), revealed that without migration Italy's population will plummet by 10 million, from 60.6m to 51.5m by 2050, raising Italy's average age to 53.7.

The Italian minister for regional affairs, Enrico Costa, called the figures a "doomsday scenario" and has urged more to be done to promote domestic birth rates.

He advocated Italy adopting more policies to promote domestic births, adding: “We need structural measures”.

The politician added national plans of individual EU states were not enough to reverse the decline in home births, but EU-wide policies are needed.

The report itself advocates an overhaul of policies geared towards immigration.

It says: "The new challenges being brought about by declining and ageing populations will require objective, thorough and comprehensive reassessments of many established economic, social and political policies and programs."

Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has come under fire fore her 'open door' policy for migrants, which has seen hundreds of thousands settle across the country.

More than one million people have headed to Europe since last year, dubbed the migrant crisis, with national governments' varying in their response.

Squalid camps have sprung up at borders, notably Idomeni at the Greece-Macedonia border at the Jungle at Calais.

Chancellor Merkel's ruling CDU (Christian Democratic Union) party received a drubbing in the elections for state parliaments in recent months, losing ground to the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Her party is widely expected to lose the general election next year.

You are more than right on

[caww]

To say that then you know the real story as well.

Right know in Sweden a refugee has twice the opportunity of being employed as a citizen does....they are given properties that have been confiscated from it's citizenry.....education beyond them and medical attention....just how long before that worm turns is questionable but it's certainly happening as they rebel against this injustice.

Then you have a Liberal Female Lutheran Bishop who called on ‘churches in Sweden to remove crosses’ so it didn’t offend Muslims,..... which was met with an almighty backlash this time around but it will happen again...

A question was asked by a Swedish citizen.......”Why is the UN purging white countries of their culture, traditions, values etc. and replacing them with people who perpetuate violence? “.......that question needs to be asked often.....and the Muslims are just the first ones coming....they are now bringing in Africans in swarms.....not just youth but many ‘pregnant’ woman which is why we're hearing so much of babies being born in route or soon after arrival....they are given immediate medical attention and a roof over their head.

Many people do not realize how well informed these migrants are in how to use the systems and laws of the country they go to.....so who is telling them? We already know family members are paying for plane trips to send their older children to nations with the idea the parents will be allowed in thereafter. It's a system that's working against the citizens of host countries...and they know that it is but are helpless to fight it because it's so completely orchestrated.

The overwhelming majority said they were simply seeking a better life, the opportunity to offer their children a first-rate education, or a brighter economic future.....We’ve just become a ferry service,” one member of the crew said....Most migrant vessels are picked up by the rescue fleet shortly after they leave Libya’s territorial waters, 12 nautical miles offshore.

On this one wooden boat it was carrying more than 400 refugee/migrants....they can rescue easily 24 of these in a day depending on the weather.

With secularists Christians are often the real enemy. They are practically blind to any others in the West. That hold true with Islam ... and importing Muslims is just another way to water down the society.

The end will not be a dechristianized unbelieving society under secularists control that they seem to hope for though....

Why not a tax benefit for citizens having babies? It certainly would be cheaper.

In the UK it’s an outright benefit payment for all, not a tax credit.

Perhaps they need to up the amount which presently about $25 per week?

Don't know what Germany does...

They can’t finance their Socialist schemes without taxpayers and voters.

So why import X Files quality inbred mutant head choppers?

Not “in part”; that is exactly what they did (and what Americans did as well). We use the Western Hemisphere for our blue-collar replacements and take from Asia’s billions for our white-collar replacements; Europe uses Africa for the former and Asia (the part nearer to them) for the latter.

I was waiting for this comment:

"...A flat or declining population is only a problem to social-engineering leftists who have wracked up huge debts in fiat currency....

I'll add that it is not a "population cisis" for any country.

What it is is a "profitability crisis" for the elites, who benefit from every economic transaction we make.

They are parasites.

[Jacquerie]

Very good.

This is total BS. There were massive population culls due to the black death in the middle ages. Somehow Europe survived without mass immigration. Declining population means more resources available to fewer young people making their life EASIER. They will survive. Old people might have to wait 5 minutes to get their bed pans cleaned instead of 1 minute which is a tragedy.

I’m aware of all that (although, not all tribes were actually nomadic). I was essentially paraphrasing an old joke — the punch line being: “bad immigration policy”. The fact that the aboriginals were incapable of preventing the in-migration is irrelevant. The point was — whether you call them “settlers”, or “illegal aliens”, or “refugees”, or even “legal immigrants” — when a critical mass of them arrive on your shores and make no effort to assimilate, you can kiss your culture and sovereignty good-bye.

(Just to be clear: immigration can be very beneficial — up to the point, where it becomes indistinguishable from an invasion.)
