I just finished reading The Strange Death Of Europe Immigration, Identity, Islam by Douglas Murray, 2007 (with an updated afterward in 2018). This is a fascinating look at the immigration problem the entire continent of Europe has been dealing with. Like the U.S., practically all European nations have been open to immigration. It was in 2015 that then German Chancellor Angela Merkel initiated the policies that opened the floodgates for the rest of the world. The bulk of the European Union followed suit.

Like America, Europe’s invasion is mostly from the south; from Africa across the Mediterranean Sea. To the southeast, the area known as The Levant saw swarms of migrants, mostly from Syria, make their way to Europe. Illegals from Muslim nations such as Pakistan and Afghanistan were also part of the mix.

As in our country, the bulk of Europe’s invaders have become permanent residents. Very few are the kind of refugee who wish to return home when things in their native countries get better. As with America, Europe has been invaded.

“Well, so what,,,?” you might ask. “Isn’t invasion part of European history?”

Yes, and unfortunately, seemingly forever. Rome started expanding in the 6th Century BC. Vikings began raiding in the 8th Century AD, which is also the century in which Islam took what is now Spain. Normans crossed the channel and took over England in 1169. Mogul incursions started in 1220 and lasted until 1240. Remember all the feudal wars and the Napoleonic Wars?

Then the 20th Century came around, and that was pure fun, wasn’t it? World War 1 happened and everybody invaded everybody. WW2 saw Hitler and Stalin carve up the map. America did get involved in each war, but we ourselves were never invaded (Excuse me for trying to cram over two millennia of history into a few sentences, but I believe you get the idea.)

This time things are a lot different. It’s not a classic military invasion that both Europe and America are experiencing. In both cases, the end goal of the invaders is the take down of the host counties culture. From Murray’s book, he makes note of what that change, albeit is slow, will accomplish:

“The problem comes not with an acceptance of change, but when those changes come, we become…something else…something we may never have wanted to be.” (p.5)

While American “culture” can be harder to actually define as compared to the various national cultures of Europe, we nonetheless are experiencing change, largely as a sort of by-product of immigration. Our immigration problem, and prior to President Trump, the related policies toward it are the end result of the liberal, woke, anti-American mindset. Prior to Trump, only President Eisenhower had the cajones to do something about the issue. (Research Operation Wetback from 1954. That was the actual name of the program, so unwad your panties.)

Murray makes this observation: “Liberals in Europe might rightly have wondered…that in pursuit of ‘liberal’ immigration policy they might lose their liberal societies.” (p.295)

Granted, the gist of this sentiment is largely the result of Islam. Now, however, the citizens of several European nations are well past the rhetoric stage.

On July 12, 2025 a newly built mosque in Piera, Barcelona, Spain was burnt to the ground in protest. There have been anti-Moslem riots in the UK. Poland had simultaneous protest in 80 cities in reaction that that county’s immigration policy.

In Ireland in June, there were protests against Romanian immigrants who have not assimilated into Irish society.

Although Murray’s book focuses primarily on the problems that Islamic immigration have caused, he makes it known that non-Moslem immigrants who refuse to assimilate are also in the mix. There’s not a country in Europe that hasn’t been under pressure because of this one issue.

We’re facing the same, albeit on a slightly different level with President Trump in office, and the ambit of federal immigration policy that is propelling ICE raids. Our homegrown Demshevik liberals are no different than Europe’s in that they seem unable to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration.

Normal working people in both America and Europe are at the point where enough is definitely enough. Our patience is gone. The sentiment is that every illegal needs to be gone and the overall immigration system must change.

Although Americans haven’t reached the boiling point Europeans have…yet…the possibility is always there. Patriotic Americans, politically inclined and even the not-so politically inclined, haven’t burnt any mosques yet, but backlash from all the college campus anti-Semitism could spark such an incident.

Conservative, normal Americans are usually the ones putting out the fires in our cities started by Demshevik rent-a-mobs who support illegal immigration, along with all the rest of the anti-American talking points. We haven’t reached that point, so Murray’s book should be a cautionary waring of what happens when the people of any society are pushed beyond their endurance by their so called leaders.

In closing, consider how this quote from Murray exemplifies President Trump’s resolve:

“It is simply easier to let the status quo roll along and then complain about it than it is to take a short term political hit for the long term well being of your society.” (p. 335)
