Invasion of Europe news…..
It boggles my mind that all of this horrendous news coming out of Europe rarely makes it to the US media. Only when one of the illegal migrant ships sink do we hear about it. Why is that? Is the media in America afraid to show what uncontrolled immigration is doing to Europe? For God’s sake the European continent is being invaded! Americans need to know!
Here is the latest on Greek islands being overrun by mostly Middle Easterners.
From the International Business Times (emphasis mine):
The camp on the Greek island of Lesvos had been built with room for perhaps 600 people, but more than 3,000 were crammed into the facility on a recent day. Refugees had arrived from Syria, Afghanistan and other nations so rife with violence and poverty that Greece seemed a place of tranquility.
They had trekked 40 miles from the northern port where ships land to the city of Mytilene, after enduring dangerous sea crossings that often end in death or coast guard rescue. Some were now sleeping in an old army camp that had been turned into a makeshift shelter. Some lay on sidewalks outside. The camp lacked sufficient food and clean water due to the sheer numbers of people arriving. Aid workers with the United Nations worked the cobblestone streets, picking up litter in an effort to keep the situation tolerable. They worried that if anyone fell ill, disease would spread like wildfire.
“Unless there is a change very rapidly in capital control, we are afraid we will see an increase in the deterioration of the situation,” said Eugenio Imbrosi of the International Organization of Migration.
This dire situation will likely worsen as the Greek government contends with own crisis — an economic unraveling — and as regional conflagrations sends a widening volume of migrants and asylum seekers to Greek shores. Estimates for daily arrivals range from 900 to 2000 per day across the islands, according to municipal mayors and the Red Cross. Greece has overtaken Italy as the European country with the most new migrants arriving per day.
Why Greece now? Because there is no money for border security!
Europeans watching Greece’s economic catastrophe might struggle to imagine why anyone would risk his or her life to get to Greece. Yet the economic crisis gripping Greece is precisely what makes it so appealing to refugees: in the face of national budget cuts, every government agency including border control has been diminished, making landfall for refugees less risky than before. The greater the numbers of people arriving, the greater the economic burden on cash-strapped small towns that house refugees.
Middle Easterners bring their centuries-old conflicts with them!
Near the end of a long article we learn this!
Due to suffocating conditions, riots have broken out in some of the refugee camps between Syrians and Afghans. In the past six months, riots started between the two groups because of political and historic tensions. Some Syrians considered the Afghans as part of a Taliban population. The Afghans often don’t speak Arabic and were offended by a perceived superiority complex in the Syrians. “So we’re having the same war right here right now,” said Andriotis, comparing it to the situation that caused these refugees to flee their home countries.

It is only a matter of time before we see these same tensions in the US as we are resettling, in the case of the Iraqis for instance, almost an equal number of Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims.
