Migrant

Incomers From the middle east and Africa, people seek European shores dispossessed and poverty struck, they seek, a better life a promised life of democracy and work for everyone Many, when reaching Europe, cross the channel from France in Britain, thanks to the BBC World program. Their point of embarkation is Libya, once a successful state now a rough country laid low when their leader, Ghaddafi was murdered by Western power getting their blood dripping hands-on petroleum. With many races and cultures coming to Europe, one asks? Is there an upper limit for this invasion; is there a moment? When, this must stop for the sake of the individual nation-states? Is this influx good for Europe, making it malleable for business a low-wage economy and no bothersome trade union? The truth is, in Western countries, have a net loss of newborns because of a high standard of living and top-educated women who no longer want to be burdened by many children, this make perfect sense not to waste time with childbearing. When Russia noticed the population was retracted, they did something about this and introduced an economic plan to counter this and gained; we see the same in Nordic countries In Portugal, say, too few children are born it only takes a couple of generations to empty the land of its inhabitants Migrants to our shore can be a blessing infusing new blood to an ageing population, it may not be like the nation of Yore two cultures merge, that is better than being forgotten. No?
