The simple fact is that you can't fix poverty in Africa or the Middle East by inviting in the third world. It won't work. These virtuous actions will ultimately sink the economic viability of Europe, cause conflict and then no one will be helped in the long run. Also the sort of economic migrants coming into Europe are mostly young unskilled men, often of low IQ, that have little prospect of being employed. How many millions of these people can Europe afford to look after (using their generous welfare system) before the system becomes unaffordable and collapses?
