| Bill and Melinda finally get a clue - Europe will be 'overwhelmed' by migrants | |
| 2017-07-05 | |
| [Breitbart] Microsoft founder Bill Gates has warned that Africa’s population explosion will overwhelm Europe unless the continent makes it more difficult for migrants to reach its shores. The American billionaire’s comments come as European leaders discuss what to do about the surging number of Africans arriving in Italy each week, with Rome calling for other European Union (EU) nations to open their ports to docking migrants so as to ease pressure on the Mediterranean nation. In an interview with the German Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Gates said massive population growth in Africa will result in "enormous [migratory] pressure" on Europe unless countries increase overseas development aid payments.
But Gates also spoke of a dilemma caused by ’the German attitude to refugees’, referring to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to open Europe’s borders to illegal migrants arriving from the third world. | |

| #7 Perhaps if folks stopped telling the third world that western democracy was evil, dictatorships were natural for poor nations, and socialism was dandy Africa could have a first world nation or two to hire all of these prospective migrants and turn the whole continent around. What Africa needs is for a nation or two to pick a coastal city and replicate Hong Kong's laws and economic policies and see what happens. |

| #6 It took Gates a long while to wake up to the problem caused by his fellow globalists. He's beginning to see the impact of California refugees on Seattle. |

| #5 An encouraging sign from their website: We believe that solutions to Africa’s greatest challenges can come from within Africa. Our role is to support African partners whose bold ideas and creative approaches have the potential to save lives, improve health, and help farming families all across the continent. We devote half of the foundation’s resources to projects in Africa and to helping African countries learn from one another. My emphasis added. Link to Gate's Foundation |

| #3 Here's an idea Bill, why not go back and review those preconceived notions that colonialism was an 'evil'. See - What have the Romans ever done for us. Maybe, just maybe, if it wasn't so bad at home, they wouldn't leave. |

| #2 Maybe Bill finally got around to reading The Camp of the Saints, a French novel from the 70s about a catastrophic Third World mass migration to Europe. |

| #1 unless the continent makes it more difficult for migrants to reach its shores. Cut food, clean water and medical care. Epidemics are more efficient and risk less than border controls. |
