| Is Calais burning? |
| 2015-08-01 |
| h/t Instapundit The protest has taken place after negotiations with the French government over job cuts broke down. Fires, which are currently blocking access to the harbour, have plunged the crisis zone into further chaos. It comes after Britain's borders faced more disruption last night as hundreds of migrants including children stormed the Eurotunnel. David Cameron has said Britain is threatened by a "swarm" of foreigners and the migrant crisis in Calais was likened to a "warzone." Migrants were pictured clinging to a lorry as they left the port of Dover, while others in Calais were seen clambering over fences with children in tow. The favour of God no longer rests upon the British nation, and it is probably thanks only to the prayerful intercession of the remnant of British saints that the mercy of God still tolerates the existence of Britain at all. |

| #4 More and more unassimilated Moslem Somalis in Tucson. Free $, food stamps, job hunting services & etc. WHY? The border has immigration problems enough of its own. Borgboy from Tucson |

| #3 "The grass is greener on the other side of the fence" is not a parable lost on people who live where grass won't grow, or where grass is what's for dinner. |

| #2 The best place to house Libyan refugees is Libya. The best place to house Somali refugees is Somalia. And so on. If the home country sucks, fix it. It will cost gold and may cost blood but the alternative is Calais. |

| #1 You know if you actually go to their country of origin and kill the SOBs for creating the environment that drives them to your doorstep, a lot of this would go away. In the old book it usually was referred to as colonialism. Of course the guilt industry then could not blame someone or something for these migrants other than their wanting 'Free Stuff'. Rome suffered the same fate facing wave after wave of 'migrants' aka Vandals, Goths, Slavs, Lombards, et al. Somewhere in the East, someone (usually the Chinese) kicked some ass forcing tribes to move west, who in turn kicked someone else's ass, who then moved further west, kicking even someone else's for the classical domino effect. The West(tm) has been there, seen it, and had it done to them numerous times. Eventually, technology and social organization let them get to do this to the residents of the Americas as well. |
