The Brexit Votes Have it: The U.K. Is Leaving The E.U.

[StuBass1]

The biggest factor promoting increasing racism is unfettered immigration into countries where people believe that their way of life, traditions, and institutions are under assault. One in five Germans are now of migrant origin and in 2014 rose an astonishing 3%. Add in the problem of so many of todays immigrants refusing to integrate and assimilate into the societies they are flocking to. That's where you get the so called "no-go" zones where even police and other authorities are afraid to enter as these societies within a society create their own institutions and laws...whether based on Sharia or just what we here would refer to as the wild wild west...Certainly immigration was a key factor in the recent Brexit vote, but absolutely not the only factor. The belief by many Brits that they are losing control of their nation with the most important decisions affecting their lives being made by career politicians from other countries in a foreign capital is still the primary reason for the Brexit vote...Back to immigration and racism or ethnocentrism...I have been warning for several years now that this free flow of immigrants into Europe was going to explode at some point. Controlled immigration is not the problem, has never been the problem either here in the U.S. or in Europe...however, when several European countries, in their quest for cheap labor actually encouraged the multi-culturalism that has impacted so many parts of Europe and when the EU stood idly by as waves of immigrants came by land and sea in the tens of thousands at a time and facilitated them while giving so called "host countries" little to no say as to how many immigrants, refugees, and suspected infiltrators they would help enable to enter the various EU member countries regardless of how the citizens of those countries felt about it...the racism and division we see today was bound to happen. NO great nation, society, culture, or even Empire going back centuries has ever survived multiple cultures, languages, traditions, or political boundaries for long without integration and assimilation by those new immigrants entering it...The closest I can think to that is Canada, where the French and English speaking factions have found a fairly stable accommodation, however, their cultures are quite similar and their laws and values are largely the same...Not like the recent immigrants to Germany, France, the UK, Sweden, etc...My biggest fear quite frankly is Germany where Merkel is the biggest proponent of the multi-cultural approach...much like Von Hindenburg as their leader in the 20's and into the 30's was quite friendly to the Jewish population there and allowed them to thrive and neither Jews nor the outside world imagined in their wildest dreams what the German people and government were capable of if convinced that their culture and way of life was under assault. Von Hindenburg then...much like possibly Merkel in a few years, could possibly give way to far right facist types who will point to the ever increasing number of assaults on women by middle eastern immigrants, a dramatic increase in crime rates in major cities, and one or two major terrorist attacks along with a serious economic crisis could likely in my opinion push Germany over the edge...After all...we've seen it there before and it's apparently in their national DNA...Until stability returns first of all to the middle east and northern Africa, decreasing the need for massive immigration, and the EU decides to crack down on the unfettered immigration we've seen in recent years and countries learn to provide their own workers by increasing wages within their countries...I do fear what will eventually happen...When a significant and growng percentage of Americans can nominate a candidate like Donald Trump for the highest office in our land based significantly on fears of more illegal immigration, multi-culturalism, and a decline in traditions and values...then it can happen anywhere. It's just a shame that the only alternative to Trump this time around is Hillary Clinton for reasons I'll not get into at this time...
