Hillary Clinton: Europe "needs to limit migration" to stop right-wing populism
guardian.com ^ | 11/22/18 | The Guardian

Posted on 11/23/2018 5:57:20 AM PST by Liz

Hillary's frank advice to European leaders: stop the rise of right-wing populists then get a handle on your immigration crisis. She said migrants and refugees that have flooded into the EU since 2015 have thrust immigration into the spotlight and fueled the rise of global hardline leaders.....she praised Germany's Angela Merkel for her compassion, and cautioned that countries can’t leave the door open forever.

“Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,” Clinton said regarding the rise of right-wing populists like Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. “Europe must send a very clear message – ‘we are not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support’ – because it will continue to roil the body politic.”

Germany, Greece and Italy have argued that other nations throughout the region need to share the burden. But central and eastern Europe countries have refused to help out. Migration numbers have dropped precipitously from their height in 2015.

Clinton was interviewed along with former British PM Tony Blair and former Italian PM Matteo Renzi. The two both agreed with Clinton’s statement that the immigration issue was directly responsible for fueling the populist trend. “You’ve got to deal with the legitimate grievances and answer them, which is why today in Europe you cannot possibly stand for election unless you’ve got a strong position on immigration because people are worried about it,” Blair said. “You’ve got to answer those problems. If you don’t answer them then … you leave a large space into which the populists can march.”

Clinton said, “People don’t want that much responsibility and freedom. They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.”--snip--more at web site

Of course that would be the sick old hag's takeaway from all this. Took them long enough to cook up a totalitarian "answer" to the problems they created and exacerbated.

“We turned the heat up too fast and the frogs noticed.”

They’re twenty years too soon in their demographic replacement. Their only hope is to keep churning out the voter fraud and importing non-whites.

HRC is such a pussy willow blowing in the wind.

She bends and contorts, still finding that right wing in the scores of left wings, jumping from one CHAOS into another, one lie after the other.

When her wardrobe of pants suits are all in the laundry, what does she wear? Her virtue?

Still debating on whether it was she or BO’B who kicked the cornerstone from our nation’s foundations.

AND NOW THE GOOD NEWS: World Follows Trump’s Lead:
Nations Abandon Legal ‘Framework’ Building UN Migration Pact

Breitbart | 11/23/18 / Oliver JJ Lane / FR Posted by RoosterRedux

More nations are joining the exodus from the United Nations’ (UN) controversial compact on mass migration, with legal experts now standing up to raise concerns about the drafting of the document and what legal implications signing it might have for countries party to the pact. President Donald Trump was the first to pull out of the UN pact on migration in December 2017, a move which prompted howls of disapproval from both the mainstream media and globalist leaders.

Yet several nations from all over the world have outright withdrawn from the compact since initially ratifying it in July, or have signalled their intent to do so, as states gain confidence in opposing fashionable but dangerous deals that are not in their own interests. ...

In comments that cut across the grain of the usual business and practice of the United Nations, President Trump said at the body’s New York headquarters in September: “Migration should not be governed by an international body unaccountable to our own citizens. “Ultimately, the only long-term solution to the migration crisis is to help people build more hopeful futures in their home countries. Make their countries great again.” Australia, Israel, and Poland are among the latest to pull out, all citing national interest reasons. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

Obviously she is talking about liberals and leftists who seem to know only a few facts that are spoon fed them from birth. This is her grand recipe for one world culture. Every human on earth will be forced into a work gulag. This will be the biggest ant farm in history and she will be in charge. If this woman, Hillary, had any charisma at all we would be doomed.

"Clinton was one of three heavyweights of the centre-left interviewed by the Guardian to better understand why..."

Wow. They have Hillary pegged in the correct weight class.

When Trump got elected you had US embassadors beg the EU parliament for help. This is a coordination of a corrupt world elite of parasites

Yes, that was the biggest WTH moment in an article rife with them.

Clinton said rightwing populists in the west met “a psychological as much as political yearning to be told what to do, and where to go, and how to live and have their press basically stifled and so be given one version of reality.

Actually, I think people are sick of being told what to do, how to live, what to think...
