The [[conservative]] [[Trump]]-like prime minster of [[Greece]], [[Kyriakos Mitsotakis]], won a landslide reelection in that traditionally [[liberal]] country in 2023 by ending migration of [[illegal aliens]] into it. Similar stunning victories by opponents of [[immigration]] in [[Europe]] in 2023 included [[Geert Wilders]] in the [[Netherlands]] and [[Robert Fico]] in [[Slovakia]]. [[Marine Le Pen]], an immigration reform advocate, was first runner-up in the April 2017 elections in France. The disastrous "[[open borders]]" policy of German incumbent [[Angela Merkel]] earned her the title, 'Mother Terroresia', among critics and voters in Germany's elections. Many of 'Merkel's Muslims' wanted for crimes in Germany have fled to neighboring countries.

Without consulting voters, the [[globalist]]s of the [[European Union]] have encouraged unrestricted mass migration into Europe from war-torn and impoverished Islamic Republics. A "replacement population," according to liberals, will sustain the [[welfare state]] without cutting government spending in the face of declining fertility rates among the native populations. Rape has become prevalent, and Europe's [[social democratic]] government's concern for the safety of women and children has been lacking. The Swedish government has not made crime statistics available to the public since 2014 when it was reported that murders committed by foreign immigrants occurred at a rate 400% greater than native Swedes and rapes committed by foreign migrants 550% greater. Additionally, reductions in carbon emissions and efforts to combat [[global warming]] have been used by leftists to justify [[Third World]] immigration. Globalists have used the migration crisis to help wipe out Europe's Christian roots.<ref>Multiple references:

Many Muslim migrants have been unwilling to adapt to European culture and customs and have thus created much social upheaval as they demand that society change to accommodate them.

*'''2000 – 2003''' “The Awakening Phase” in which the West will be provoked (via 9/11) into war with the Islamic world.<ref>Excerpt from [http://islamic-world.net/papers/jihad.htm ''The Final Jihad''] posted on a scholarly Salafi (''Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jam'ah'') website in 2001. "The leaders of the Western world have already specifically identified Islam as the most powerful remaining threat to their way of life since the fall of communism, and have proclaimed this belief to their people. How often are the citizens of Western nations told that Muslims are fanatical terrorists, who have spread Islam across the world by the sword; and, how seldom do they hear the wondrous Truths of Islam, of the Mercy and Compassion of Allah? Let there be no doubt, the goal of the leaders of the Western world is to destroy the power of Islam. Of course, they are partly right. Islam is the only real threat that exists to their way of life, to the [[Satan|''shaitanic'']] aspects of their culture. Nothing else in this world has any chance of stopping the power of Western secular materialism. Allah gave the people of the world Islam as their religion. (Ed. note: Religion, in this context, means 'government'). Islam is the only way to stop the power of ''shaitan'' to rule this world. Allah gave us as our responsibility the role of [[Caliph|kalifah]] in this world. The primary role of the ~~kalifah~~ is to fight against the influence of ''shaitan''. This obligation has three parts; we are to perfect ourselves according to the Will of Allah, we are to perfect all society according to the Will of Allah, (Note: the rape of non-Muslim women who refuse to wear the [[hijab]] is part of the process of "perfecting all society to the Will of Allah"), and we are to perfect the physical environment according to the Will of Allah." (Note: "perfect the physical environment" means to overthrow the House of Saud and seize control of the assets of [[Saudi Aramco]], the oil reserves of the Arabian Peninsula, and control of the Holy Cities of [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]] under a Caliph. It can also be seen as forging temporary alliances with [[climate change]] advocates who likewise are waging war on "Western secular materialism").</ref>

*'''2004 – 2006''' “The Opening Eyes Phase” in which jihad would become a social movement and experience a huge recruitment drive. The [[Iraq#Insurgency|Iraq insurgency]] became the operational center for a burgeoning army of foreign jihadis.

In many irreligious European countries, there is a sub-replacement level of births which is expected to cause challenges to their pension systems and labor supplies (see: [[Atheism and fertility rates]]). As irreligious populations rise in age, the fertility rates of these countries could drop further. The Rand Corporation indicates, "Nearly all European nations are experiencing long-term downtrends in fertility, and consequently, aging of their populations. These demographic trends could have potentially damaging consequences for European economies."<ref>[http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG206.html Low Fertility and Population Ageing], Rand Corporation</ref>

Germany currently has one of the lowest ~~birthrates~~ in the world. The German government has been addressing the problem by taxing ethnic Germans so heavily they cannot afford to have children and importing millions of Muslim males from abroad.

The French immigration model was largely developed to assimilate people at the close of the colonial era in the 1960s and paralleled somewhat the [[United States]] model. Immigrants were expected to abandon the culture of their place of origin, adopt French secularism and language, and fully assimilate. In the 21st century, with the mass arrival of Muslims who self-segregate, refuse French customs, and insist upon religious practices in public schools (daily prayers and coverings for females), social tensions have mounted. Many French feel immigrant demands are a threat to their republican form of government. By the time of the migrant crisis, migrant groups did not assimilate and different groups developed their own separate communities, with the concept of being French fading.<ref>Meotti, Giulio (June 23, 2019).
