The Washington Post wants you to know that millions of refugees over the next several years are just what Germany needs.

BERLIN — The rest of Europe may see a crisis as a record number of asylum seekers flood the continent from Syria and other pockets of conflict and poverty. But Germany — the region’s economic powerhouse — is also sensing a golden opportunity.
This fast-graying nation of 81 million is facing a demographic time bomb. With a morbidly low birthrate and a flat-lining population, hundreds of schools have already shuttered. Some neighborhoods, particularly in the increasingly vacant east, have become ghost towns. For Germans, it has raised a serious question: Who will build the Mercedes and Volkswagens of tomorrow?
Enter a record wave of migrants...
Merkel is cajoling Germans to embrace a new vision of their country that, in the future, may not be as white or Christian as it is today.
Notice the use of "white" here. What the writer means is that Germans should embrace a new vision of their country that, in the future, may not be as German or Christian as it is today. But he knows how that would sound, so he throws the racial term in there. Too many people would balk at the notion of replacing Germans in Germany but no good-thinker would defend the idea of keeping a country white.
"The researchers suggested that early Basques likely sheltered from waves of European migration that began about 5,000 years ago. “It’s hard to speculate, but we’ve been working with Basque historians and it’s clear from the historical record that this area was very difficult to conquer,” Jakobsson told BBC News."

Agreed. Tho 1 group of NON "white" people that seem to fit in well in Germany are Vietnamese for some reason.
The Vietnamese are infamous for their ruthless mafia in Berlin and other big cities.
They are not well integrated at all, actually they stick to each other most of the time, same thing goes for the Chinese. They are not really part of German society, they mostly form their own parallel society.
Compared to Europe and North America almost everyone in the world is poor. And there is no end to the number of people who would migrate if they could.

It’s hard for Westerners to grasp how many people there are in the rest of the world, which is why we often treat frivolously data points that ought to be thought-provoking, such as the Gallup Poll’s finding that 640,000,000 adults want to immigrate. To help increase awareness, here’s a graph I’ve created based on the International Monetary Fund estimates for 2015. It shows that almost seven billion people live in countries with lower per capita GDPs than America’s $56,000 (red sphere), most of them much lower.
On the vertical axis is GDP per capita, while on the horizontal axis is the cumulative world population at that GDP level or lower.
Each country’s population is proportional to the area of its disk.
Well, GDP does not mean that much. Life can be good in countries with lower GDP, and even in countries with higher GDP there can be lots of poor people like in the US. But those poor Americans don't emigrate, just like in most places of the world poor people don't emigrate, even if they could. One reason is of course that most people have a network of family and friends they don't want to live without. Much more important triggers for mass emigration are wars for instance.

Mexico is not at war, yet tens of milions of Mexicans have left for the United States over the past generation.
Plus, for Mexicans it is easy to migrate because the US is right next door. For most poor people in the world that is not the case, they would have to pass through several other countries or even oceans, which is unrealistic.
Some Mexicans even consider the US their home for historical reasons when parts of the US belonged to Mexico.
The spin from major media is relentless. Here the BBC describes the attack by migrants on the Hungarian border crossing. Young migrant men try to kick down the barriers, police use water cannons and tear gas to disperse them, then the men start throwing rocks and other debris.
At 1:35 of the video, the BBC reporter says the rock throwers are "fighting back", as if the invaders are acting heroically.
The New York Times describes the incident:
Quote:
All of a sudden, an invisible, noxious gas began to pour into the crowd from the Hungarian side.
… The crowd collapsed into chaos and ran back into Serbia. Then, the crowd re-formed and slowly moved forward again. And again, there was a gas attack.

Tear gas used to disperse a violent mob is a "gas attack". They make it seem like the Hungarians are using WMDs against innocents.
Despicable. Hungary has the RIGHT to protect its borders. If it means a bunch of pissed of Syrians, oh well. Let the rich gulf Arabs take in their Sunni Muslim brothers and stay AWAY from the infidels, the Muslims might live longer.
