Alejandro from Madrid imagines: “As a result of lax immigration laws … Arizona is flooded by Mexican mmigrants …”
Imagination is a good thing, however as far as historical facts go, there’s no substitute for reality. Is the current demographic situation in Kosovo a result of a similar situation to the scenario that Alejandro just imagined? Clearly not. From the end of WWII, until the 1990, Albania was ruled by one the most hermetically closed and isolated regimes in the entire world, staunchly Stalinist until the very end. A regime that made even today’s N Korea look like a tea party, a regime that chastised the USSR and the rest of E European for being too liberal, and later China too for opening up trade with the US (in the late seventies). Everyone that has even a smidgen of knowledge of Stalinist Albania, knows that very very few tourists were allowed in and no Albanians could travel outside of the country. The punishment for every one crossing the border was extended to their entire family. Even those very few that managed to escape such hell, would logically settle in the US and West Europe rather than in the impoverished Kosovo.
From 1990 until 1999, while Albania opened up to the world, it was Kosovo to be ruled with an iron fist by the strongman of Yugoslavia Milosevic. It’s illogical to think that while he was making plans to eradicate the Albanian element from Kosovo, he would allow millions from Albania to settle in. And again, please provide one single shred of evidence to back up your claims.
But then, Albania’s entire population is only 3.5 million. At the end of the WWII it was a little more than a million. How was is possible then to fill Kosovo with two million “immigrants” as suggested here, and change so drastically the demographics there? Let alone that Serbia’s own official census since WWI, shows clearly that Albanians were always the overwhelming majority in Kosovo.
When someone starts making up stuff, it shows that they obviously have run out of valid arguments.
