That just isn't enough to build a world class economy. More than anything else you need smart people, and China has them in abundance.
I hope you're joking about Mexico and the Philippines.

No joke, Mexico has democracy, and capitalism with relatively low taxes and little regulation. It should be an economic powerhouse, if that's all it takes.

I guess one way to deter African migrants would be to outlaw personal money transfers between Europe and Africa via services such as Western Union. After all, most of those migrants try to get to Europe in order to earn money and send some of it back to Africa, where their relatives are waiting for that money.

That seems like such a simple idea. In this country we try to control criminals profiting from SOME criminal activities. Money made via the drug trade is frequently confiscated. We however lack the same common sense when it comes to money made by criminal acts being sent to Mexico. It seems like it would be a simple thing to stop money transfers and bank deposits unless someone proves they are a legal citizen or legal alien. That alone would do a lot to reduce the financial incentive for criminal aliens to come here. Just like Europe.

Europe's "duty" is to Europeans. With regards to "migrants", Europe's only duty is to control "migration" in such a way that Europeans are protected.

I know it sounds a bit harsh to suggest that. But I think it would also benefit Africa in the long run because those transfers (which are already worth billions every year) create further dependence rather than an independent African economy.

I think it is not even possible to open a bank account as an illegal. That is why Western Union etc. are so popular, there anyone can wire money across the globe.

The desperate struggle of migrants to leave... France?

Quote:
The barbed wire cut her hands, but she did not feel the
pain. The police seemed to be everywhere. She thought of her 5-year-old son back
in Africa and ran, zigzag through the falling shadows, once almost colliding
with an officer in a helmet.
Then she was alone. She slipped under the freight train and waited, clambering out just as it began moving.

But before she could hurl herself onto the train bed transporting trucks
filled with Britain-bound produce, a French officer caught up
with her, she recalled in an interview on Thursday. Blinded by tear gas, she
stumbled and bruised her right ankle. After being ejected from the complex
around the tunnel, it took her five hours to limp the nine miles back to the
refugee camp of makeshift shelters that its 3,000 inhabitants call the
“jungle.â€

Simply because we have become too selfish to have the children to repopulate our countries.

And liberal thought will destroy what is left of our culture. Very sad days.

But at the same time I realize it's God's will. It's just beyond my understanding.
No doubt the left would go into hysterics at this idea, but it is time for European-descended people around the world to unite and defend themselves and their interests.

That includes people in Russia, Eastern Europe, Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Scandinavia, Britain and Western Europe.

European-descended people will probably want to leave Zimbabwe and South Africa. They should be welcome in other majority-European countries.

There should be no more non-European immigration allowed in those countries.

Policies that discriminate against Europeans or show favoritism to non-Europeans should be eliminated.

Casual abortion and sex should be socially discouraged, while marriage and children are encouraged.

If this doesn't happen soon, Europeans and their civilization will go the way of the dinosaurs.

Really? If talking about "culture"; that's 1 thing. If talking about race or skin color, not so much.

Europe is being invaded and should respond as such.

Sink ships in the Mediterranean, and shoot migrants on sight.

Camp of the Saints was prophetic, but it doesn't need to be that way.
