Border crisis of 'biblical proportions' in Europe
28 nations of EU in chaos as migrants flee Mideast
Published: 1 day ago

America isn’t the only country wrestling with an illegal immigration problem, it seems. The 28-nation bloc of the European Union has been seeing chaos on its borders, due largely to tensions in the Mideast and Asia and the flight of thousands of refugees, leading at least one political watcher to characterize the ensuing atmosphere as a crisis of “biblical proportions.”

Waves of migrants are hitting the EU’s borders from Greece, Italy and Hungary, fleeing tensions in Afghanistan, Iran and Syria. Since Monday alone, 3,500 immigrants have registered at the Austria border, German police said, the Telegraph reported. And before the end of the year, that number’s expected to hit 800,000.

British Labour Party’s Yvette Cooper called on the United Kingdom to take in up to 10,000 of the refugees, saying the situation is a crisis of “biblical proportions” and that Britain must “respond to a humanitarian crisis on a scale we have not seen on our continent since the Second World War,” British newspapers reported.

But the border crossings are fueling anger among citizens. In Germany, for example, one family seeking settlement reportedly saw their apartment firebombed, prompting EU President Donald Tusk to issue a scathing response.

“Whatever the challenges migration might bring,” he said, the Telegraph reported, “there is no justification for hostile, racist or xenophobic reactions to migrants.”

The Camp of the Saints (1973)

"A novel written in the early 1970's Camp of the Saints is about France being deluged with an armada of slow moving boats containing millions of the worst that the "third world" has to offer and the ensuing reaction of the population to the invasion in the weeks before they arrive on the shores of France."

Prophetic. Denounced widely when released as racist. I read it when it first came out.
