no problems occurred until the town's economy collapsed
Lots of places manage economic disruption without mass sexual exploitation....
Have you ever seen an exponentially growing trend 'halted'?
Sure.... migration is a not a tiktok 'trend'.... it's the sum of choices made by those in poor countries, traffickers, and national governments (both in producing and receiving countries).
Who's left out there?
Change the incentives and you change behavior. Stop making being in Europe a better experience for those arriving and you'll slow down/stop the flow.
the question is do you want to be nice about it (like me and say Andrew Hammel) or do you want to resist until politicians far, far worse than Geert Wilders get elected with overwhelming mandates? Cause that's where it's headed. change policy before it becomes a disaster or wait for the disaster and point fingers....
Postive feelings and an open mind and appreciation for whatever it is you like to imagine that Pakistanis and Algerians etc etc bring to Europe are no match for an electorate that has had enough and wants things to change by any means necessary....
