“Wir schaffen das”—we’ll manage—will go down in history as true a prediction as the one by the Führer of a 1,000-year Reich. For any of you unaware of “Mutti’s” prediction, Angela Merkel said it back in 2015 when she took in one million Middle Eastern refugees. Adding insult to injury, Germany then went ahead and took in another cool million Africans in 2022. As a result of all this, I now read that Germany is about to rethink its borders, or at least try to stem the flood of refugees rushing to cash in, but that’s a bit like that old cliché of locking the barn after the horse has bolted.
Never mind. Immigration is the European topic most likely to inspire a circular firing squad of E.U. big shots. They’re the ones who insisted on open borders some thirty years ago, and instead of hanging their heads in shame, they’re now putting out cautious bulletins about ever-closer union being put on a waiting list for a while. These Brussels clowns should be forced to clean latrines of immigrant hostels for at least ten years. Hammered by illegal immigration and facing social meltdown, the Brussels dream is revealed as the nightmare it always was and is. In an age of global migration, doing away with national borders is the equivalent of leaving a bottle of whiskey in the bedroom of a recovering alcoholic.

Take it from Taki, open borders will be the end of Europe as we know it. There is no way that the old continent of 745 million souls can survive if 400 million Africans land on our shores. Surely you must think I’m joking, but actually, I’m not. Mind you, it is happening as I write this and will probably take a century, but if things remain as they are, I cannot see white Europeans being in the majority fifty years down the line. Corrupt African leaders, draught, and climate change will drive African hordes north, no ifs or buts about it. I just read an item about the Nigerian president purchasing a multimillion-dollar jet that swells his fleet of private jets to twelve. President Bola Tinubu’s latest toy is a customized Airbus A330, on which he flew to France recently. The new plane has been described as spacious and furnished with state-of-the-art avionics, a customized interior, and a communications system. Now you tell me, dear readers, how out of touch can a man be to ask citizens to endure hardship and austerity while spending $100 million for an airplane to supplant eleven other flying machines?
This is Africa, and the very few have a hell of a lot while the very many have nothing. That the many want to come over to Europe and America is natural, where they think the streets are paved with gold. Well, ending up in settlements on the outskirts of Paris and in the Bronx might be disappointing, but at least they’re safer than back home. The problem is there’s no room—we’re already packed like sardines, at least here in Europe. Human trafficking gangs continue to thrive, bringing over desperate people. Italy has for years been paying Libya and Tunis to clamp down on migrants with some success. But Libya is a failed state and Tunisia is slipping back to autocracy and is therefore unreliable as to how long they will keep migrants on their side of the Mediterranean. In the meantime, people smugglers are busy cramming more people into dinghies and bringing them over.
