RIGHT SPEAK: Open Borders and Welfare Bloat Have Europe at the Brink of Disaster: Will It Shift Course? The Dam is Breaking On Britain’s Illegal Immigration Crisis

Open borders and welfare bloat have Europe at the brink of disaster: Will it shift course?

Almost weekly in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France and Germany, a sensational assault committed by an illegal migrant — often enjoying some sort of state support or with prior arrests for the same crime — surfaces.

Until recently, European politicians and the media sought to either ignore such news or accuse those who clamored for tighter borders, more police protection and stiffer penalties of being “racists” or “xenophobes.”

Until recently, that is.

Mass protests are now common in Britain against the Labour Party’s open borders policies and generous welfare entitlements for immigrants who arrive illegally and without authentic “political refugee” status.

Greek officials, also swamped by illegal immigration, now cite President Donald Trump’s secure border policies as new models for their own.

The majority of European immigrants now come from majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Yet many arrivals seem angrier at their newfound liberal hosts than at the dictatorships they fled back home.

Europe’s immigration policies will not work in a multi-ethnic democracy.

Too many immigrants are arriving too quickly, without sufficient diversity, language fluency, skills or familiarity with the customs and culture of their host nations. They often enter with separatist religious and cultural values antithetical to the very place they seek refuge.

Yet there is no European plan of civic education to assimilate immigrants and teach them the rules, laws and culture of their hosts.

It is then no surprise that what follows is ghettoization, resentment and loud attacks on the very nation in which they seek sanctuary, denouncing it as decadent and godless.

In the past, Europe’s anemic military budgets, reliance on borrowed money, socialism and a once-strong economy papered over these existential challenges of illegal immigration.

Or, as left-wing former German Chancellor Angela Merkel once inanely said of massive illegal influxes into Europe, “Wir schaffen das” (“We can do this”).

But, of course, Merkel could not. --->READ MORE HERE

The dam is breaking on Britain’s illegal immigration crisis — and the results could be ugly:

Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular.

But that’s not the real problem.

The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is.

You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it?

Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration.

Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement or — worst of all — immigrant crime has been punished as “racist” and “hate speech” by the Starmer regime.

The point of this isn’t to reduce racism or hate (heck, the censorship likely make that worse), but to make it harder for people to realize just how many of their fellow citizens feel the same way they do.

For years, Britain has stifled reports of immigrant rape gangs in places like Rotherham and has persecuted those who have called attention to them, even jailing some.

And as the government gives light sentences to child rapists, it’s imprisoning moms for tweets on grounds of “inciting race hatred.”

It’s all to construct and maintain something known as “preference falsification,” a move usually practiced by authoritarian regimes.

The trick is, you make citizens pretend that they believe what the government says, and fake their approval of what it does.

You promote marches and demonstrations and speech in favor of the government’s preferred positions, and you severely punish marches and demonstrations and speech that oppose the government’s favored positions.
