The US is in it's "fascism" phase now. Our "total collapse" phase is ahead of us.
The same is happening here. Americans don’t want to work and have some means of getting food, clothing and shelter without appreciable work. This can not end well.
Yes, there's only one reason - but it has nothing to do with welfare.
At the present TFR, the Spanish population with four Spanish grandparents will fall by 50% every 25 years or so.
If he’s so concerned, he could have vacationed in the US to keep his dollars here and help keep hotel and eatery employees on the job.
After tax season, I rarely have money for gas to get me to the next town.
The author believes the myth. He is well meaning in his delusions. He actually thinks that Europe’s welfare state is greater than the good old USA. If he bothered to read Mark Steyn over the years, he would have learned that red blooded Americans get more in handouts and freebies than their European cousins. While Europeans are more honest about themselves, Americans still like to think of themselves as rugged individuals as they snarf up all the free stuff.
I was in France recently and noticed much the same. Hotel cleaning and wait staff were largely immigrants. The few local restaurants I went to seemed to have French owners, but mostly immigrant cooks and wait staff. Our tour leader spoke excellent French and English, but was from Romania. The local city and museum guides were French.
A lot of the museum guards and room watchers were Blacks or browns and may have been immigrants, but I didn’t speak to them. If I did, they indicated they didn’t speak English.
The souvenir hawkers everywhere were Blacks and the guide said they were part of a crime cartel that used Africans to sell & paid the cops to leave them alone.
Spain is actually doing better than many of the EU countries, thanks to the “austerity” programs that trimmed the welfare and unemployment budget. Sadly, Spain, like Italy, had a serious dip in birth rate and needs younger workers. But Spain has been pretty good on getting them from Latin America, which shares Christianity and Western cultural standards. Leaving aside the fact that Europeans, Latin Americans and North Americans increasingly don’t practice Christianity and are forgetting their culture, the Latin Americans and Poles and even Christian Africans from the English or French former colonies more or less fit in and Most of them want to adapt.
Spain has relatively low Muslim immigration, and spends a fortune repelling them at the borders with Morocco.
However, all of the European countries have been overwhelmed by these boatloads of mostly Muslim “refugees” - Syrians, Sudanese, etc. who are arriving on the shores of the Mediterranean by the hundreds of thousands. And instead of sending them back, the EU is now insisting that every country take some.
Of course, the EU countries don’t have to worry about the “refugees” competing for jobs, because they go directly onto welfare, start having huge numbers of children, demanding that the entire society adapt to Islam, etc. these countries can’t afford to support a privileged class of Muslim leeches aiming at taking them over and I think there will be major problems soon.
Spain? Heck, we’ll be lucky if don’t become Mexico!
