Neither the Biden administration nor the EU seems interested in the large and growing antipathy to open borders. And both will regret ignoring it.
In 1975 a Frenchman, Jean Raspail, wrote a fictional account of how western civilization was destroyed by unrestricted immigration from the Third World. His work, The Camp of the Saints, has been out of print for some time, but it again became popular in 2011 and Amazon now is offering it on Kindle and you can read it free online. I urge you to do so, because it is probably the most prescient novel you will ever read.
Every day on X (formerly Twitter) I read accounts from around the world of the increased crime, inflation, hatred, and destruction of western civilization by the open borders policies of countries and the European Union. Bringing in hordes of undereducated men who live off the welfare state and hold views incompatible with ours is every bit as destructive of modern western life as Raspail envisioned it would be. Here’s a brief, representative sample of what I am reading every day online. (Online because the legacy media is largely ignoring it.)
The UK:
Islamist extremists calling for an "Intifada revolution". We are a tolerant country, but this is vile. Every single weekend London is a no-go zone for Jews. I'm fed up of these disgusting, perpetual, hateful, disruptive protests. It has to stop!

"Britain is visibly declining under the weight of mass immigration, a complete lack of social integration, inflation, high taxes and soaring energy prices. It’s now time for British politicians to prioritise the British people and the country" @GoodwinMJ

It will take a new Crusade to push the illegals out. Maybe it needs to become an inhospitable environment and they will self deport.
Do they come to escape where they came from, or to infiltrate and destroy? Either way they want their new place to be like the old place. Makes no sense. I saw a great t-shirt the other day. It read: “Support the country you live in or live in the country you support”. In other words, if you don’t like it here, leave!! This is not where you came from, and it’s not going to be.
“The mosques are our barracks,....the believers our soldiers”
How many “barracks” have been erected in the UK? How many in America? How many “soldiers” are around the world? How many enablers, sympathizers, co-conspirators?
Trouble. EVIL.
Read “The Camp of the Saints” If you want to see where we are at as a country.
“...inhospitable environment...”?
Laws were put in place to assure that. It’s just that the laws are being ignored by people who should know better.
We have to ask ourselves one question. Who benefits from ignoring the existing laws?
The answer will explain everything and it’s JUST that simple
“Read “The Camp of the Saints” If you want to see where we are at as a country.”
What I found interesting about that book is that it would take little effort to compare the characters in the book to current people and politicians and find almost exact matches.
Thanks. Bookmarked the web page for later!
Oh, just wait until the NEXT election, vote 'em out!... yeah, got it.
“ Maybe it needs to become an inhospitable environment and they will self deport.”
I knew we were in big trouble when Spanish language signs appeared in Home Depot back in the ‘90s. It’s only gotten worse.
Camp was first published in 1973 France by the little known Editions Robert Laffont. Raspail then apparently gave Laffont permission to translate and distribute in English. Thus, the first American publisher was Scribner’s in 1975, and it was followed by a host of publishing houses, apparently approved by Scribner’s. Its fame proceeded by word of mouth, but when some houses dropped out, publication was continued by The Social Contract Press of Petoskey, Michigan. Despite being ignored on the Left, it remains a seminal work and one of the great intellectual tour de force of the 20th Century.

Thanks for all that, I guess. I downloaded the book from a free source and read it several years ago.
Clarice, RIGHT ON TARGET, AS USUAL.
The Euro's don't. They disarmed themselves and opened themselves up to the barbarian horde.
Too late for them. It's not too late for us. Yet,that is.
