Some countries along the way -- Macedonia and Serbia, for instance -- put them on trains and buses and tell them "Keep going! It's better in Germany!" Others, notably the Slavic countries -- Slovakia, Poland, the Czech Republic -- tell them to not even think about stopping there. Hungary has tried, with limited success, to close its border with Serbia altogether, building a wall allegedly financed by Donald Trump. [Walt's just kidding. The Trump wall is going along the Rio Grande. Ed.]
The fact is that even in a liberal democracy like Sweden, the majority of ordinary citizens don't want to be swamped by a tide of Third-Worlders who bring to once-Christian Europe their alien religion and alien cultures, not to mention disease and crime. Even if only 1% of the million-plus expected to arrive this year and next are Islamic extremists, that's still 10,000 jihadists embedding themselves in Munich, Berlin, Stockholm, Leeds... maybe, dear European reader, in your city.
What happens when 1000s of aliens arrive in your city, expecting that you will house, clothe and feed them, for the sake of "compassion", "mercy" and "human rights", not to mention a big dose of white liberal guilt. As I watched scenes of the squalor in "the Jungle" -- a squalid camp on the outskirts of Calais created by refugees trying to get to Britain -- I was reminded of a good movie I saw back in 2009, called District 9.
Here's the synopsis of District 9:
Twenty years or so before the time of the movie, aliens arrive on Earth, not to conquer or give aid but to find refuge from their dying planet. Their huge space ship runs out of fuel over Johannesburg, where "Multi-National United" (read "United Nations") attempts to manage the influx by herding the aliens into an area called District 9, which they turn into a filthy, seething, slum. Here's a screen grab.
When the alien population passes the million mark, and public revulsion reaches the boiling point, the MNU decides to relocate the aliens to a new settlement far away from the big city. The first forty-five minutes or so of the "mocumentary" show the preparation for the exercise. Watching this footage today, you can't help but be struck by the parallel with video clips from the "temporary" refugee camps in Greece, Serbia and Hungary. Note also the opinions of the local population: "They must go!" Here's the trailer.
"
It turns out that getting rid of millions of refugees who've been squatting in your midst for two decades isn't that easy. The operation, led by MNU field agent Wikus Van der Merwe (played by Sharlto Copley), runs into trouble trying to get the aliens to sign eviction notices, because they have rights and the legal niceties must be observed. In a scuffle with one of the "prawns" -- the locals' name for the aliens, who resemble a cross between a lobster and Dr. John A. Zoidberg -- Van der Merwe gets some of their DNA mixed with his own, with horrific results.
District 9 is a great sci-fi movie -- highly recommendable -- but its real significance, six years down the road, is the depiction of what happens when you allow a horde of aliens to settle in your community. At the time of the story's ending, the population of District 9 had grown to over 2 million, and plans were under way to build a new "District 10".
Dear readers, where is the "District 9" in your community? Even here in [Walt spilled coffee on his manuscript, so I couldn't make out a couple of words here. Ed.] there are entire blocks of "community housing" occupied by vizmins, courtesy of us taxpayers and our liberal government. Now the same "progressives" are crying "in the name of humanity" for the admission of tens of thousands more, which, they tell us, are somehow our responsibility. Where will it end? Watch the movie!
