Who benefitted from this migration process?

Remember this well, because when the clean-out starts here, those hypocritical euros will be pointing the finger at us and
claiming ethnic-cleansing.
Same with the US. No one asked the American people if they wanted to be invaded by the third world.
Now if they can just start deportation, they can eventually fix their invasion / immigration problem.
So much for the will of the people.
