Nobody wants anyone else's refugees these days. In an overcrowded world,
refugees can create a tipping point that sends another country into economic
chaos. Even Australia, which is the least crowded country around, is
refusing the few refugees who manage to make it over land and water to wash
up on their shore. Nato never got involved with Bosnia and Kosovo until
their refugees started turning up in droves in Europe. Italy felt
especially overwhelmed by them. China didn't want Vietnam's refugees
despite their common philosphy of Marxism.
We tend to defend our territory against any invader, not just those who come
armed. Here in San Diego, people are still complaining about the number of
refugees we accepted from Vietnam. We now have more Vietnamese here than
blacks. What really bothers the blacks is that the Vietnamese, who came
over pennyless and unable to speak English, are economically more successful
than they are. Before the Vietnamese came, they blamed their lack of
success on being gettoized and relegated to bad schools. Now they have to
cope with the problem that the Vietnamese settled in the same neighborhoods,
attended the same schools, and went on to be come doctors, lawyers and
successful businessmen. Now they are settling in the neighborhoods of the
rich and famous. There are drives afoot in this country to cut back on the
number of refugees allowed into the country that are supported by the recent
immigrants who got their spot in America and now want to stop the flood of
new refugees.
The New World Order is designed to keep the people of every country in their
place and make them solve their own problems rather than letting them run to
other countries and take those problems with them. You won't see that
written anywhere, but if you examine how NATO and other countries react to
problems that spill over onto their turf, you will notice the trend. The
lines on the map are drawn and etched in stone. The world governments don't
like the idea of anyone trying to change them.
