Migration Madness
by Fjordman

In 2010, Kingsley Okoro left his native Nigeria in West Africa and traveled across the Sahara. With the aid of people smugglers, he crossed the Mediterranean in a rubber dinghy in search of a better life in Europe. Five years later, his dream of a better life in Denmark did not come true. Now, he has a new dream: To return to Nigeria and be reunited with his five-year-old son, whom he left behind. “Life in Denmark has given me mixed feelings. Denmark itself is not the problem. People are very friendly. The problem is that I am not able to adapt to the system,” the bottle collector Okoro says. “I did not know it was this hard to get want you wanted in Europe. I thought it would take a couple of months, then I would get a house and a car. But it takes time.”^[1]

Maybe it comes as a surprise to some Africans, but not all Europeans have a car and a house, either. Those that do usually work far longer than a couple of months to earn it. A long time ago, Europe was a civilization of ancient nations that produced the likes of Isaac Newton, Nicolaus Copernicus, Leonardo da Vinci, Ludwig van Beethoven and Louis Pasteur. These days, Europe seems to be a place where Nigerians, Somalis, Congolese, Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans and Pakistanis travel to get free stuff handed to them from the natives.

On October 6, 2015, thousands of people marched in Copenhagen to demand that Denmark be more open to migrants. Carrying torches, demonstrators shouted slogans like: “Say it loud and clear, refugees are welcome here.” A cheer went up as thousands entered the public square outside of Parliament.

At the same time, some of these “refugees” were complaining about the level of service they were being provided by the taxpayers in Finland. The asylum seekers mainly seem to be young Muslim men coming from such vibrant places as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. One of them was filmed stating that “We want our money” and that the UN must help them in getting what they want.^[2] Some of the migrants complain that the food they get served for free is suitable only for animals, that the country is too cold, too boring or that there are too many trees.

In Sweden, the authorities resort to increasingly desperate options to accommodate the vast numbers of migrants, including sports centers and campsites. One of the bureaucrats in charge of dismantling the Swedish nation is Anders Danielsson. He was head of the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) from 2007 to 2012 and is currently Director General of the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket). By October 2015, more than one thousand asylum seekers were arriving daily in Sweden.^[3] Danielsson is organizing the reception of so many asylum seekers that they may soon turn his own people into a minority in Sweden. Mr. Danielsson is so proud of contributing to this that he compares himself to Winston Churchill. Churchill fought against an invasion of his country; he did not facilitate it. The Swedish Migration Agency decided that every single person from Syria should get permanent residency immediately. They informed the government about their decision, Danielsson comments. He says in plain words that they “must ignore the consequences” of their own decisions.^[4]
