I'm responding to your last paragraph first.The fact that you'll kill the messenger (NPR) without actually addressing the content of the article isn't surprising, but it is disappointing. Other than agreeing the word invasion is a dog whistle to the right, you ignored the point to focus on the sins of the multiculturalism of the left. Seems to me you're trying to shift the conversation to the direction you want it to go, and I'm not joining you in that. We can drop it here because I'm not gonna go down one of your well-worn paths. There's a reason I'm rarely inclined to make an initial post to you anymore. I might answer you, as I have here, but not likely initiate, because the conversation never gets anywhere.
WE ARE DEBATING! WE DISAGREE! So of course my job is to poke holes in your stances, or to provide different perspectives. The fact that you choose to make it personal is usually a sign that your arguments are not strong.
These migrations aren't just a matter of Europe saying "come on in!" It's a very complicated situation of mass human upheaval as the result of wars and famine and other issues that make life untenable in the migrants' home countries and they undertake what is a dangerous and difficult journey to find a better, safer life. These immigrants are not doing it "in the name of multiculturalism" but they are arriving regardless and European countries have to find humanitarian ways of dealing with the crises.
Those who are in a position to offer help must always be careful to not endanger their own well being in the process. If a person is unhealthy, their ability to help others is limited. For example, in wartime a healthy surgeon can save many lives. But if that surgeon falls ill, her illness will have a huge negative impact. She must remain healthy to maximize the help she can provide. So far, so good?
What many moderate Europeans are experiencing is that their societies are becoming unhealthy as a result of mass immigration. This is not a sustainable solution. And it's not bigoted or xenophobic to state those realities.
