The Immigration Crisis
Since 2010, there has been a surge in immigration to Europe, and since 2014, the problem has gotten worse. There has been a massive influx in immigrants to Europe, mainly from war torn countries like Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Central Africa. Ever since, there has also been a major influx in crime, most likely caused by these immigrants. The problem must be dealt with, and very quickly, or else Europe will see its downfall due to its own generosity.
In late 2014, immigrants started to flow out of the Middle East and Central Africa. They were fleeing from the poverty and war in their home countries, knowing that to survive they would have to run or enlist in one of the many groups at home. To get to Europe, they had to embark on a very rigorous journey. Most traveled by boat until a certain point, then they would disembark and go by land. They had to practically sell all of their belongings or just give them to whoever was willing to take them to Europe. Many times, ghost ships would turn up on European/African countries’ coasts, only to be filled with the dead bodies of immigrants. They would die to starvation, dehydration, and sometimes even …show more content…
being beaten to death by another passenger. If they did make it to land, they’d have to go by land, which usually consisted of thieves and bandits without morals. They would take possessions, children, or even just kill the immigrants just for fun.
The illegal immigrants ranks are composed of 58% Men, 17% Women, and 25% children. In the beginning, many news stations all around the world were trying to make it seem like most immigrants were children and women, while in fact it was mostly men. In fact, it is only men who have been reported to have perform physical and sexual assault on thousands of women and children all across Europe. Many smaller EU countries still believe that most of the immigrants are children and women, which is completely untrue.
In 2014, Sweden opened its doors to all immigrants, composed of mostly Syrians. They were the first European to grant asylum seekers permanent residence, earning them the nickname “Swedenistan”. Their generosity came at a price, they began to struggle to keep letting immigrants in, and other countries saw this. Sweden’s resources began to dwindle, and their manpower began to run low. There were many places that needed extra security, and Sweden just didn’t have enough to support this. Since then, they’ve began to up the restrictions on immigration to their country, and have increased border defenses.
Many European countries had sympathy for these immigrants, and began to take them in, not knowing what to expect. It only took months for these countries to realize that what they did was a mistake. Terroristic acts, gang warfare, violence, crime, and rape all became rampant throughout many countries. Germany has the highest amount of immigrants, around 700,000, and has also had the most crime related incidents of any other European country. Many riots have occurred, as well as protests, to get these immigrants out of their countries.
The Schengen Zone was erected in 1995 to unify Europe and keep traveling to and from Europe easy. Since the recent immigration crisis, many countries have began to erect their own borders, consisting of large walls and barbed wire to keep immigrants out and reduce the chance of them wanting to come to their country. Some European countries have tried to punish these countries and get them to take these borders down, but these countries have declined the threat and told them they can try, but nothing will change. Not only are most countries guarded by these man made borders, but also patrolled by multiple branches of military, such as helicopters, ground vehicles, and infantry.
Europe is doing its best to keep Middle Eastern and African immigrants out of their borders, but it’s not enough. Recently there has been an influx of assault, physical and sexual, on children and women in Germany, performed by Middle Eastern immigrants. The male migrants see a woman or child with short pants or a skirt, they see it as a free pass to do whatever they wish to him/her. “On News Years Eve, we received over 1,000 reports from women, including 454 reports of sexual assault, which were mostly performed by migrants.” The police are required to withhold information about these attacks, apparently to reduce the chance of any anti-migrant riots and/or protests occurring.
Since the immigration crisis, there has been a decently sized influx of Neo-Nazism in Europe.
Even more so after the recent attacks in Belgium and Cologne. The Neo-Nazis have been handing out free pepper spray to any and all women in Germany to give them the tools to defend themselves. A Neo-Nazi group that calls themselves “Dusseldorf is Watching” has recently stated “Do not give in! Defend yourselves as you walk through our homeland, this is our country, not theirs! We demand: The immediate closure of all borders and rejection of all illegal immigrants! The deportation of all criminal foreigners after they have served their time! The remigration of all illegal immigrants to their home countries!” Many Neo-Nazis have taken to the streets, holding protests in Germany’s large cities and
capital.
Greece, being on the frontline of the crisis, has had a strong dislike for illegal immigrants since this began. Recently, the EU has threatened to quarantine them and cut them off from Europe if they do not comply with the standard migration rules set for all European countries. Greece wants to be a part of Europe, but at the same time does not want anymore immigrants in their country. According to studies done in early January of 2016, over 80% of Greece’s populace does not want immigrants in their country. While some EU countries don’t want illegals, like the UK and Russia, with over 60% of their populace against immigration, some countries are for allowing more illegal immigrants into the country. Most of them being in Northern Africa, some are European, like Romania.
Most European countries have begun to erect defenses against the illegals. 100% of all EU countries bordering Northern Africa and the Middle East have erected razor wire fences, walls, border patrol, etc. Some countries have even erected secondary defenses, so if the frontline is overrun by illegals, there is a second line of defense to keep them out. Many European countries are sending their immigrants to nearby countries, but the immigrants only get there to find yet another barrier preventing them from getting in. It’s only a matter of time before more immigrants begin to flow into Europe, as if problems aren’t bad enough. Europe will begin to run out of resources and room to give these people room to live. Not to mention, the personality and religious clashes the immigrants and people of Europe will have. Riots will occur, protests, and most of them will definitely be violent. If Europe doesn’t do something about this problem soon, their downfall is inevitable.
