No Border, No Nation
Overview of the Problem
A fundamental challenge facing the West is the demographic crisis manifested in declining birth rates and aging societies. The solution to thawing the demographic winter is obvious: increase national birth rates by implementing family-friendly policies that have been tried and tested over the past decade in the incubator of conservative policies that work: Hungary. Liberals and leftists propose increasing migration instead. Some of them may be doing so "only" because they are after an immediate solution or an electoral advantage, but there are darker actors among the forces arrayed.
George Soros has led an extensive network of influence groups masquerading as "civil society" and other shadowy, unaccountable actors to promote a doctrine that claims "diversity is strength," despite millennia of history providing ample, convincing evidence to the contrary. Their goal goes far beyond an unfair advantage at the polls; this postmodern leftist ideology and its adepts are intent on undermining the nation, state sovereignty, and the economic underpinnings of representative democracy, with the ultimate goal of replacing Western Civilization with something radically different.
A healthy immune response to this dangerous phenomenon is complicated by a number of factors, including a mainstream press and political culture that ignores, explains away, or falsely attributes to unrelated causes urgent crises directly caused by mass, uncontrolled immigration from distant, alien, often incompatible cultures.
Crime is a persistent evil that governments will fight but never defeat completely, and the historical record is clear that in periods of increased immigration, crime rates rise. Some individuals also pose an obvious risk to national security. It is now known that many terrorists, such as members of the Islamic State, have crossed EU borders and committed terrorist acts in Western countries disguised as refugees. Health threats also come from across borders. Diseases that have long existed within a national community become endemic and give little cause for general alarm. However, non-native viruses and bacteria sometimes pose serious risks.
Europe suffers from an additional contingency. Unlike the U.S., where the majority of migrants come from Latin America, which shares some important civilizational similarities with the U.S., most notably a healthy respect for our Judeo-Christian heritage, most of the illegal migrants flooding the EU come from a cultural background entirely alien to the Old World's. As a result, Europe is grappling with rising anti-Semitism. Given its history in the 20th century, the rise of anti-Jewish hatred comes at a particularly high social cost.
Mass migration is also driven by a number of negative factors that have plagued source countries for decades. These include unprecedented population growth accelerated by international aid programs, the proliferation of failed states and terrorist groups, and the negative impact of the Internet, which helps spread pro-migration propaganda throughout the developing world.
