Even after reading books on the subject like Douglas Murray’s “The Strange Death of Europe,” I admit that I still haven’t figured out fully what motivates the migrant invasion from the perspective of the governments of Europe.
In a recent radio interview, I was asked why all Western European nations’ governments appear to have a death wish for their own populations, and I struggled to come up with a satisfying answer.
The prevailing theory that seems to make the most sense is that importing hordes of Third World migrants with no appreciation for Western principles like individual freedom, freedom of speech, or free markets are much easier to socially engineer — and all the more so when they’re permanently placed on welfare — which makes them essentially political weapons to consolidate power.
Maybe there are some more profound psychological and sociopolitical forces at play; well-conditioned white guilt certainly runs deep in the West.

Whatever the cause, Europe’s infrastructure is strained beyond its limits.
Via Reuters, Feb. 16, 2024 (emphasis added):
The number of migrants boarding rickety boats from West Africa and reaching Spain's Canary Islands has risen seven-fold so far this year from the same period of 2023, Interior Ministry data showed on Friday.
A total of 11,704 irregular migrants reached the Atlantic Ocean archipelago between Jan. 1 and Feb. 15, compared with the 1,602 who arrived in the same period in 2023, the ministry said.
If the current trend were to continue, the islands could receive 70,000 migrants this year after breaking a record in 2023 with 39,910 arrivals, archipelago regional head Fernando Clavijo told El Pais newspaper on Friday.
Mauritania has recently become a major point of departure for migrants headed to Europe, sending eight out of 10 of the dinghies that reached the archipelago in January, Spanish officials say…
Frontex head Hans Leijtens told Reuters last week that the Atlantic route to the Canary Islands was the busiest irregular route from western Africa into the EU, representing almost a half of the total of nearly 14,000 arrivals last month.
The trick the “migrants” have been taught to play is pretending that they are en route via air travel to South America or some other destination, who then abruptly decide to seek “asylum” once they are on Spanish soil, which precipitates a bureaucratic process per law to investigate their claims.
Via InfoMigrants, Jan. 30, 2024 (emphasis added):
The Spanish Commission for Refugees, known by the abbreviation CEAR, has described the situation at the Barajas airport in the Spanish capital as "unsustainable," while a journalist described how a woman slept on the floor with her two children for 16 days without a toothbrush and with only two pads when she got her period…
CEAR told Reuters that most of the migrants are from African countries such as Senegal, Mali, Equatorial Guinea and Morocco, but some are also from Colombia and Venezuela.
Police unions have reportedly complained of Senegalese passport holders, who were on their way to Brazil, requesting asylum while on a layover in Madrid.
The overcrowding and other problems at the airport are due to the fact that those arriving without a visa or the necessary documents to enter Spain have to wait for their entry to be granted or refused, which takes 10-20 days, according to CEAR. A shortage of interpreters is slowing the process down even further.
This is the result.
Spain: Spanish government is shutting down entire airport to exclusively fly African immigrants into Spain.

Using taxpayers money, the government is flying immigrants from the Canary Islands into mainland 🇪🇸 and directly into hotels.
This is treason!

The migrant invasion of Spain is particularly ironic, and tragic, given the massive historical efforts made by generations past to reclaim Spain from Muslim invaders in the last last millennium — squandered blood and treasure, at this point.
Via Britannica (emphasis added):
Reconquista, in medieval Spain and Portugal, a series of campaigns by Christian states to recapture territory from the Muslims (Moors), who had occupied most of the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century…
Many historians believe that the crusading spirit of the Reconquista was preserved in the subsequent Spanish emphasis on religious uniformity, evidenced by the strong influence of the Inquisition.
