You knew this was coming

Europe’s current anti-migrant rhetoric carries echoes of 1930s anti-Semitism

A humanitarian crisis of historic proportions has been growing in Europe, as hundreds of thousands of refugees and economic migrants from the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia have crossed the continent's borders this year alone.

The scale of the influx is now well-documented. According to the European Union's border agency, some 340,000 migrants crossed its borders in first seven months of 2015; in July, the figure was on its own an astonishing 107,500 people. The majority of those making the hazardous crossing across the eastern Mediterranean are Syrian refugees, displaced by a horrifying, grinding civil war that has forced roughly half of the country's population out of their homes.

The destruction of Europe followed shortly by America. The floods from the south were predicted and are being used by traitors within our walls.

The coming bloodshed will be unimaginable.

Isn’t it amazing that you don’t need generals, munitions, and an actual army to invade another country these days?

All you need are “community organizers,” some pre-printed signs, and loudlt chanted demands.

Oh, and it helps to call the potential host country “racists” a lot.

Open borders only work if the people passing through them do not mean you harm, including intending to consume welfare programs intended for the poor already within your gates.

The Hungarians should buy them all a through ticket to Brussels and tell them that is where they have to go to stay legally.

This whole episode reminds me of the current and past batch of Zombie movies. There’s also a movie I enjoyed call “Monsters”. A low budget flick describing an alien infection in Mexico and how all attempts to stop the flow, such as walls, were useless. Check it out, it definitely channels what is happening in the world today.

That in large part explains Merkel’s behavior; German is a prisoner of her history, so afraid of appearing to do anything that would even slightly look like Nazism.

I don't understand. Why is Hungary blocking them from going to Germany and other European countries?

Hungarian police blocked them for a second day from seeking asylum in Germany and other European Union countries.
