The Spanish government said on Thursday that it would deploy the army to Ceuta to reinforce security after the crossings, which saw many migrants swim around the border to reach the territory.

    Europeans are happy to point and laugh at American racists.

    But then moment some Africans cross the border their tune changes.

        One depressing aspect of the Americanization of history is the erasure of non-jewish victims of the Holocaust, you can litterally see it on the Wikipedia page, somewhere over the last couple of decades the Roma & Slavs were basically scrubbed from the Holocaust page.

        If European countries don’t want weird borders that include parts of Africa, they should give the land back.

        Also without said colonies there’s nowhere for facist general to overthrow your democracy from.

      The difference is, most Americans themselves are descended from immigrants. We also don’t really laugh at the prevention of illegal immigration either when it is done sensibly.

            what else are you supposed to do when things aren’t done properly? it’s just common sense. not racist. the migrant crisis in europe proves that, surely. i just love to look across the pond at some of their creative ideas for how to deal with people who just refuse to do things the right way. if only we also had a large sea we could just let them drown in, instead of having to spend so much money after they get here. clever stuff there from enlightened europe!

              I have no issue with migrants, my issue is generally with people who try and bypass the immigration system for their own advantage. Often they tar the good name of legal migrants. We have a load of useful idiots here who seriously think that the only reason someone would attempt to enter Europe is because of war or danger. That isn’t the case.

          I live in Northern Ireland. If I go back far enough, my ancestors are in Scotland. If I go back even further, they’re back in Ireland. It’s quite interesting.
