More ‘Invasion of Europe’news…..
From the UK Independent: To give you some idea of what Germany is faced with as the government tries to find relocation sites for tens of thousands.
Up to 1,000 protesters have clashed with police in eastern Germany in riots reportedly sparked by the arrival of 250 migrants.
Police said protesters shouting “foreigners out” and carrying banners against the “asylum flood” threw bottles and stones at busloads of asylum seekers arriving in Heidenau, near Dresden.
At least 31 officers were hurt in violent scuffles as police used tear gas to disperse crowds.
Peaceful demonstrations began after news spread that the town was welcoming a large number of refugees who are set to be housed in an empty building. (then they turned violent)

Chancellor Angela Merkel has said the influx of asylum seekers is the biggest problem Europe currently faces. Germany, which has relatively liberal asylum laws, is taking in more refugees than any other European country, many from war-torn countries like Syria and Iraq.
There is also another bit of news from the UK. It seems that immigration has surpassed concern for the economy as the number one issue on peoples’ minds there.

From Reuters: Many thousands who have arrived in Greece from North Africa and the Middle East are not staying but moving northward on their own!
GEVGELIJA, Macedonia (Reuters) – Thousands of migrants stormed across Macedonia’s border on Saturday, overwhelming security forces who threw stun grenades and lashed out with batons before apparently abandoning a bid to stem their flow through the Balkans to western Europe.
Some had spent days in the open with little or no food or water after Macedonia on Thursday declared a state of emergency and sealed its borders to migrants, many of them refugees from war in Syria and other conflicts in the Middle East.
But by nightfall on Saturday, thousands had crossed the frontier, milling around the border town of Gevgelija where busses had converged from all over the country and trains left in quick succession to take them north to the next leg of their journey through Serbia.
There was no official word from the government, but the level of organization suggested authorities had opted to move the migrants on as quickly as possibly, having tried and failed to keep them out with razor wire, teargas and stun grenades.

Thirty-two-year-old Saeed from Syria said of the blocked border: “We know this was not Macedonia and the Macedonian police. This was the European Union. Please tell Brussels we are coming, no matter what.”
So where will they be moved to? Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, where?

Presidential candidate Donald Trump hasn’t said much on the subject, but from personal experience I know the subject interests him. I’ve been told to watch Trump’s Alabama speech, but have not had time yet while traveling. See it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPWERFt-gf8
Here is a hopeful-sounding opinion piece from Investors Business Dailyfrom a few days ago.
Muslim immigration is a national security issue (where have I heard that before!):
Border Security: There are two ways Islamofascists plan to conquer America — one by violent jihad, the other by mass immigration, or “al-hijrah.” Our president has aided the latter. Donald Trump wants to stop it.
Lost in all the coverage of the GOP presidential hopeful’s plan to seal the Mexican border is his proposal to curb Muslim immigration, which Obama is dangerously abetting through liberalized refugee programs. In fact, this administration has been ushering in immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries at the rate of more than 100,000 a year.
Citing national security, Trump would stop the flood of immigrants from Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Syria and other Muslim countries posing a terrorist risk.
“Additionally,” he said in his five-page immigration reform proposal, “we need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm.”
“From the 9/11 hijackers to the Boston bombers and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us,” he added.
Trump is right. This is a national security issue. Importing more hard-core Somali families and male Saudi students raises our risks of being attacked.
There is more, go here.
At least he is willing to talk about it which is more than can be said of any other Presidential candidate! Oops! Except Rand Paul who a couple of years ago thrilled me by speaking out on the refugee program (after those Iraqi refugee terrorists were found living in his home town of Bowling Green, KY). Senator Paul wanted to know why we were bringing all these refugees in from countries like Iraq and signing them up for welfare. To follow Paul on the subject, type Rand Paul into our search function and see his ups and downs on the subject over the last few years. (No time to find the links for you while still traveling.)
