it certainly appears that the motherwefers have been encouraging the migrant hordes but even the crystal waving crowd is beginning to tire of it but soon both europe and 'merika will be experiencing more troubles when the new guests begin to demand their fondest wishes, and then turn violent. this is a longer than usual article and i've only got part way into it;

The Italian island of Lampedusa is geographically part of the African continent, and for some time it has been the doorway to Europe for many African migrants. But such a dramatic situation as occurred on the sun-scorched island this year has never been seen before.

While the island has some 6,000 legal residents, in just one day in September, 7,000 illegal immigrants came ashore on ships and small boats at the small port of Lampedusa. Since the transit center was quickly completely overcrowded, the migrants set up camps on the wharves and occupied the port area, with many protesting the poor conditions in which they had to stay. By mid-September, the situation became so dire that the Lampedusa city council declared a state of emergency. The Italian government had meanwhile promised to speed up the process of transferring illegals into the country.

“In recent years, we have shown solidarity and hospitality. But now we are exhausted, and we have neither the facilities nor the logistical capacity to deal with such a large number of people asking for help,” Lampedusa’s Mayor Filippo Mannino told RaiNews TV. “Either we take the bull by the horns or we won’t solve this problem,” noted Italian Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, who warned in the daily Corriere della Sera that the problem is so great that it is now threatening not only Italy but the entire European Union.

His government colleague, Business Minister Adolfo Urso, warned bluntly on Sky TG24 that the fact that immigrants were arriving on Italian shores in such large numbers “highlights the existence of international interest networks aimed at attacking Italy.”

The Italians have lost any control over who comes to their country. According to the Interior Ministry in Rome, of the roughly 120,000 illegal immigrants who arrived in Italy between January and September, only a small minority accepted to be fingerprinted, and an even smaller proportion applied for asylum. Most prefer to go to Austria, France or Germany. They can do so at any time, as the reception centers are not prisons and people can leave them whenever they wish.

In response to the migrant invasion of Italy, border controls with that country were reinstated by France in September 2023. The Germans announced at the time that they were halting the “voluntary solidarity” procedure “until further notice.” From January through August of this year, 220,000 new asylum applications had already been filed in Germany, according to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). About 60,000 were filed in Italy during the same period.

Italy is a transitional country for most migrants, who typically come from Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Syria. Nonetheless, this uncontrolled invasion of illegals from African countries resulted in the country being placed at terrorist threat level four on a five-step scale in the fall. Soldiers armed with automatic weapons while patrolling the streets of Italian and other Western European cities are an unknown sight – and a shocking one, indeed – to residents of most Central European countries, such as Poland for example.
