Comment: Just as if I come to your house and take a dump on your floor, that causes growth because you will hire an environmental waste company to come clean the mess. The propagandist admits this when he says the “growth” comes from government spending. So it’s broken windows, redistributionist, and inflationary to the extent the government prints the money rather than confiscating it. But why allow reality to intrude into an otherwise lovely genocide?
* These figures that a particular wave of refugees will be 1% or 2% of a population grossly understate the true impact on the country because the refugees are overwhelmingly young men.
Let’s take Germany as an example. Assume that 800,000 refugees will enter in 2016. With a population of 80 million, the refugees would comprise 1% of the population. However, the refugees’ gender and ages are not spread evenly. Let’s ball park that 600,000 of the refugees are men between the ages of 18 and 33.
Now, let’s ball park the current number of German men between 18 and 33. Well, men make up about half of Germany’s population, so 40 million. Let’s say that the average lifespan is 75 years (of course that means half of German men die earlier but let’s just use 75), so 40 million divided by 75 is ~500,000. So, between the ages of 18 and 33, you’d have ~7.5 million German men (500k X 15). Therefore, if you add the 600k of refugee men to the 7.5 million German men, you’d get 8.1 million. The 600k would comprise 7.4% of that 8.1 million.
Given that the refugee men will likely send for wives and have children at least on pace with the Germans, that 7.4% figure will eventually be true for the entire population.
In one year, Germany will increase its long-term Muslim/non-European population from its current ~6% to 13.5%. In. One. Year. (Actually, if we’re talking about long-term population, that 6% figure is likely too low. I’d be shocked if the percent of births in Germany to Muslim/non-Europeans isn’t much higher.)
A couple of years of that level of immigration plus a higher birthrate for non-Germans would spell the end of Germany as we know it in a generation or two. What’s going on in Europe is astonishing. Has no one done the simple math on the situation?
* Hundreds of thousands of German women will have children with the immigrants and a similar number of ethnic German men will never reproduce because of it. The German Green party thinks it is great.
Paul Gottfried: Jurgen Trittin, who now heads the German Green Party, is already ecstatic that his country is being overwhelmed by Asian Muslim migrants: “Each day Germany is disappearing more and more; and this is a truly wonderful thing!” exults Trittin.
