Jean Raspail’s ‘The Camp of the Saints’ novel warning of immigration influx has been realized 50 years later

Fifty years ago, in 1973, the French author Jean Raspail released a then seemingly far-fetched novel titled “The Camp of the Saints,” which portrayed a massive influx of immigrants to France and Europe. Now, on the 50th anniversary of the book’s publication, the narrative feels eerily prescient as countries like Italy and Poland grapple with real immigration pressures.

The powerhouse countries of Germany and France tend to set the agenda on the immigration issue, while countries like Poland and Italy find themselves responding to events rather than shaping them. Recent weeks have seen this topic heat up, especially in Italy, where the island of Lampedusa has become a flashpoint. The island is inundated with migrants arriving in large numbers on boats from the African mainland. Meanwhile, a film titled “Green Border” has stirred controversy in Poland, by portraying its border guards as ruthless enforcers for a quasi-fascistic government.

I would recommend all viewers so enamored with Agnieszka Holland’s “work” to at least go to Naples. Get off the train arriving at Napoli Centrale and walk a bit towards the Forcella district, among the stalls, streets, and alleys filled with African and Middle Eastern migrants. I would also suggest traveling to an Italian city, town, or district with a significant immigrant population and letting your daughter take a dog for a walk in the evening. After all, it’s normal for a child to be able to go out in the evening with a dog for a stroll in the city park, right?

Britain, Sweden, Ireland have all been very welcoming.

But in sense, the American Empire -- its media and universities -- have led the way.

* Post WW 2 "denazification" made Europeans in general, and Germans in particular, wary of anything "racist."

* For decades, Hollywood entertainment flooded Europe, preaching the evils of "racism."

* For decades, the U.S. State Dept. has lobbied against "racism" in Europe. Look at how they brand Hungary "anti-democratic" for wanting to protect its borders.

* Universities have been hotbeds of "anti-colonialist" and anti-racist" studies programs.

* NGOs, the UN, NATO (all heavily funded by the U.S.) have also pressured Europe to adopt "anti-racist" immigration policies.

Not that European elites haven't been complicit. But the U.S. has led the way.

I have it. my father made me read it in the 90s and he told me that this is what’s going to destroy America. That’s a true story.

It’s a Eurosoccialist manifesto.

Yeah. Like Galileo, Respail was forced to recant.

Both were speaking truth.

I did some conservative radio shows in the late 80s talking about this book when I was active in the movement, no one really cared.

Americans and the West in general are passive and disinterested in their survival.

A dystopian hell is coming.

I read this book in 1973 when most folks thought the dystopian vision of mass immigration to modern countries by third world masses in search of a better life was simply ridiculous.

All of Europe and the U.S is now engaged with the problem of how to deal with huge numbers of immigrants who want the benefits of first world living.

I read it and I think I still have it. I’ve been watching it come to pass for years. I have lost any hope there was.
