Germany is suffering the same problems we are, a declining population and birthrate, an ageing population, a decline in traditional family units coupled with a steep decline in religious faith and observance——add all of that to the mix the guilt stemming from German atrocities committed during WWII.
I’m not so sure about those explanations for mass, unchecked immigration.
Take a look here as to why ( replace Canada w/ most Western countries):
Slaughtering sheep: The planned destruction of Canada’s sovereignty by mass immigration
Who is an immigrant? According to Webster’s New World Thesaurus: “it is a newcomer, a naturalized citizen and adoptive citizen.”
Salim Mansur is a professor of political science at the University of Western Ontario. He is also a highly respected journalist for the Sun chain of Newspapers. In 2011, he published the sensational smash hit “Delectable Lie: a liberal repudiation of multiculturalism”. In the book, this term is more accurately and cleverly defined.
“In the normal or traditional sense an immigrant is an individual departing his native country to settle permanently in an intended host country, and adopt the customs and values of the host country while giving it his full loyalty.”
There are three myths that continue to confuse and deceive Canadians concerning identity, immigrants and immigration. The first is that Canada’s identity is based on immigration and multiculturalism. The second is that massive immigration compensates for anemic birthrates in order to pay for the pensions of Canadian seniors and to fill a supposed labor shortage. The last is that massive amounts of immigration boost Canada’s economic success and security. These are myths perpetuated over and over again by lawyers, politicians and religious groups. The cold hard facts of reality will easily refute such chicanery. At the end of the day, Canadians and immigrants deserve an accountable, healthy and responsible immigration system that benefits Canada’s own economic self-interests.”
As for the “guilt”...they need to acknowledge, & remember it but they should never surrender to it.
