I have been trying to find the language to express my discomfort with the presumption that anyone who does not welcome very large numbers of refugees into Europe with widely opened arms is somehow resurrecting the ghost of Hitler. Or the right language to express the proscribed thought that those in Eastern Europe who want to settle only Christian refugees might have appropriate reservations about the very real difficulties of integrating very different cultural and religious practices into their distinct way of life.
When the "lib" Huff Post starts going AGAINST multiculturalism; things MUST be getting bad in Europe with its illegal alien problem.
The article starts out well, but then -- in an about-face -- says that Europe should embrace the refugees anyway, and that the West in general should expect and accept many more mass migrations because of climate change and global capitalism (!)
But not to worry!
According to the oddball Slovenian novelist approvingly quoted by the author, Europe can still preserve its national and cultural traditions ("Volksgeist") by "demanding" that the migrants adjust to the European way of life.
Good luck with that!
The only solution to mass migration is to stop it in its tracks.
Hungary and Slovakia "get it."
The other European countries....not so much.
Historical note: After Islam conquered the Middle East and India, it was brutally conquered in turn by Ghengis Khan.
The way that leftists use these terms is not about preserving these word's literal meaning, it is about bullying and terrorizing people into conforming with their perverted world view.
Nativists said the same thing about the Jews, the Irish, the Italians, etc. Nothing new here from the people who were once immigrants themselves.
Errr..............Speaking for myself, I was born in the US, as was my mother and father. I'm not, nor was I ever, an immigrant. My great-grandfather was a Native American Indian and my grandfather who was an NAI married the daughter of immigrants. How would that make me an "immigrant"??
Do you really believe that the Jews, the Irish, the Italians who immigrated to the US had it in mind to change the US, make demands on the US, plotting to destroy the US, try to force their religion and cultures on everyone else??
Do you even know the definition of "immigrant"?
Immigrant: a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.
The one good thing about Islam spreading throughout the world (refugees, immigrants, etc.) is that it raises consciousness in such a way as to provide an unprecedented basis for world unity -- against Islam.
Just imagine: China, Russia, Europe, the U.S., sub-Saharan Africa -- all coming together to fight the Islam that threatens all of them instead of fighting or competing with each other.
Right now, people who should be friends are enemies, and people who should be enemies are friends.
Right. They wanted opportunity, to be 'American'. Not to be in America, while remaining ______.

People huddle together when they are hated- you can't expect them to assimilate when they are NOT WELCOMED- and you cannot tell an illegal to a legal-- nothing is tattooed on their forehead- so if they are making a colony-- why?
If they are so unwelcomed as to form a colony then why are they here in the first place?
Exactly! I don't have a problem with them coming here legally as long as they assimilate into our society. The problem is that we are allowing too many of them to come here so colonization is occurring rather than assimilation. We should be vying for equal numbers from different ethnic groups. That would include equal numbers of Hispanics contrary to those who lie that I don't want Hispanics coming here at all. Coming here illegally is totally unacceptable though.
Colonizing is nothing new and started when the US opened Ellis Island, and probably before. I'm sure you know that. There were neighborhoods (colonies) for the Irish, the Jewish, the Italians, the Polish, the Hispanics, the Chinese, the Germans, and the list goes on and on, and to this day those neighborhoods exist all over the US. What do you call "white neighborhoods", "black neighborhoods", "Hispanic neighborhoods" and yes, "Arab neighborhoods"?? Are they not colonies??
The same thing can be said for resenting hoards of Hispanics coming into the community and being expected to adopt their culture and language, rather than vice versa.
