Sickening.
Europe’s elites got bored with just being at peace and relatively prosperous. Where’s the fun in that, as you survey the world from your mountaintop retreat and try to find something to entertain yourself?
I know! Let’s import millions of third-worlders who hate us, hate our culture, won’t assimilate, won’t work, will go on welfare and have four, five, six, seven times as many children as we do! Think of all the interesting human interest stories that will generate! Yay!
There was a report floating around not too long ago that looked at purchasing power in Europe and came to the conclusion most European countries have living standards akin to our poorest states.
