I have never spoken directly with people like Angela Merkel or Jean-Claude Juncker, so I can only make a hypothesis from the facts in front of me.
When looking at Europe, you can see the utopian project of 2 generations of progressives, leftists and statists, for one governing body of Europe, to control all peoples, neuter all cultures and subsume all local democracy under the EU umbrella.
Like the USA, they have built this massive government and progressive utopia on mounds of unprinted, fiat currency and massive debt. They face (and indeed have caused) demographic decline, which in itself is no big deal - UNLESS the State has massive debt and liabilities which MUST be transferred to each new generation. There must be a next generation which can be milked and carry the burden of the elites.
Importing illiterate muslims in the short-term helps support them politically, but in the long run, its a long-shot gamble that these people can be turned into productive, tax-paying citizens to support the EU utopian dream. Its the only card the progressive-leftists have remaining.
“Importing illiterate muslims in the short-term helps support them politically, but in the long run, its a long-shot gamble that these people can be turned into productive, tax-paying citizens to support the EU utopian dream.”
Long shot? Only if you call betting on a DEAD horse to win a race a long shot. I call it suicide.
