The Roots of the Migration Crisis: The Syrian refugee disaster is a result of the Middle East’s failure to grapple with modernity and Europe’s failure to defend its ideals

The migration crisis enveloping Europe and much of the Middle East today is one of the worst humanitarian disasters since the 1940s. Millions of desperate people are on the march: Sunni refugees driven out by the barbarity of the Assad regime in Syria, Christians and Yazidis fleeing the pornographic violence of Islamic State, millions more of all faiths and no faith fleeing poverty and oppression without end. Parents are entrusting their lives and the lives of their young children to rickety boats and unscrupulous criminal syndicates along the Mediterranean coast, professionals and business people are giving up their livelihoods and investments, farmers are abandoning their land, and from North Africa to Syria, the sick and the old are on the road, carrying a few treasured belongings on a new trail of tears.

The Gimmegrant Immvasion is underway and laughs at water cannons.

Except this is August, I wonder what effect they would have in the middle of a harsh Budapest winter?

do NOT let them into Christian or Western lands!
they’ve already taken over 57 countries that way!!!

let them resettle, if they wish, in any of “their own” Muslim countries

(send them food and medical aid if you wish, fine and dandy, but do NOT let them into America or Europe...!!! SURVIVAL for America and Europe!!!!!!!)

then repatriate or ship the ones that have already gotten in, to any of their 57 Krapistans of their choices, ASAP!

ISIS threatens to send 500,000 migrants to Europe as a ‘psychological weapon’

Roots? Obama. Obama created ISIS. ISIS created the hiirja. His plan (via VJ and the mullahs in Iran) is coming together nicely, with Iran acquiring nukes and ICBMS, nuclear annihilation cannot be far behind.

It’s not a migration, it’s an insurgency.

Has anyone figured out if the guy asking the question was planted?

[Lucy Hamilton]

The amazing this about this, is that WE KNEW that earlier this year, it was all over our media.

No the same media are ignoring it ditto the politicians with the exception of those in Eastern Europe.

I consider all those who are encouraging the Muslim horde as traitors.

[Mr. Peabody]

Yes, what was the guy’s name?
Has the media interviewed him?

BS article. The author fails to mention that these people are coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and sub-Saharan Africa. The ones from Africa have been transiting Libya and Tunisia.

What we are witnessing is the migration from the Third World to the wealthy developed world. Billions of people live in abject, grinding poverty in corrupt, violent societies. They have no hope for themselves or their families. They seek the better life in the West. Simple as that.

The author must be blind to the fact that we have 12 to 30 million illegal migrants in America. This despite the fact that we take in more legal immigrants, 1.1 million a year, than all the rest of the world combined. Since 1990 more than 35 million legal permanent immigrants have entered this country, 87% of whom are classified as minorities by the USG. The US has willingly changed the demographics of the country forever to make the predominant racial/ethnic majority a minority by 2043.

I went to the WSJ comments section on this article. It was a terrible discussion. Nobody was making any sense. A lot of old hindsight arguments about whether Bush should have sent troops to Iraq, irrelevant OT stuff. Is that who reads the WSJ?

I didn’t go down very far but there were no comments on the fact that the migrants are almost all men, and are using the few women and children as photograph-bait, getting them right up there in front of the cameras and the media totally complicit in this crap.

Is this how stupid ‘conservative ‘ media has become? I mean this is really low IQ stuff.

"Is this how stupid ‘conservative ‘ media has become?"

The WSJ is NOT conservative. If anything they are Rockefeller republicans at best.

And then only sometimes. Most times they're nearly indistinguishable from the rest of the msm.
