Following on from my last post, this neatly dovetails into the "unfettered capitalism is evil" narrative.
Take immigration from Africa to Europe: There's a massive amount of money being handed both legal and illegal businesses on the edge of Europe. Whether it be the illegal people traffickers transporting people North through Africa, or legal NGOs that support migrants in camps or pick them up from the waters of the Mediterranean. The lines between legal charitable companies and illegal people traffickers becomes very blurred. It is certain the legal NGOs would not be required and would not need donations if the illegal trafficking trade didn't exist.
Lauren Southern's documentary on the subject "Borderless" has been taken off YouTube. I do wonder why. Hitting too close to home?
It's currently available on BitChute here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/ZQ_fz9EW5Iw/ I recommend everyone to watch it.
Watching it, the overwhelming impression I get is that the legal and illegal immigration across Africa and into Europe is massive business. There is a huge amount of money being handed over to illegal traffickers by people who cannot afford it, so desperate are they to get to Europe and the supposed safety of European countries.
By the same token, a massive amount of money is being given to NGOs supporting the migrants in camps on the edge of Europe and also the organisations running rescue ships in the Mediterranean. They may very well be non-profit organisations, but the higher-ups in these charitable businesses earn a very comfortable living from the misery of migrants.
The thing is, without regulation and the enforcement of borders, there is no control over the people who arrive in Europe. There a probably well founded claims that a proportion of the refugees coming into Europe are ISIS fighters.
Surely there are deserving cases, but without strict border control we cannot be sure we are helping those deserving of our charity. Instead the terrorists, the con artists, the criminals, those who know to shout loudest and push the deserving to the back of the queue.
There was a very good report on the BBC news website this weekend about a migrant who decided to wear video glasses and record his trip from central Africa to the North. It's accompanying podcast is here if you want to listen rather than read. The striking thing from his report was the relentless demand for money at every stage of the journey. Money demanded from the people least able to supply it or women were forced to have sex for payment. The poor unfortunates unable to pay were left in the desert to die.
These are grim reports and the salient point is that this miserable "business" could be shut down in a heartbeat if the external border of Europe was not porous and was instead rigorously enforced. But it seems the money involved is too much to ignore for those at the top, those who influence our politicians and leaders. For as always, the money always moves upwards and the amounts involved buy a lot of political influence.
It says volumes as to why the immigration business is still thriving and has not been shut down. It's such a big business earning so much money and the net result of the mass importation of labour on the reduction of wages is so compelling to the political class and their elite buddies. The only people that win are the ones at the top of the money tree. The people that lose are the migrants and the poor of Europe.
