THis Waspost article brings to light the European struggle with the destitute from Africa trying to get into the land of milk and honey. And doubt not, Europefor all its secular humanism will put up a fortress and use every means at its disposal to protect itself. It has done so in the past and will continue to do so. It has been fighting back the "peaceful " Islamic troups that have over and over wanted to convert that space that is Europe by force.

Although the plague decimated over 1/3 of the European population in the 1400's and radically changed the economic reality in that continent, at the time there was no treatment for it. Now we have ways to impede its dissemination and we have the medications that make a life possible. Why? more millions must die. Botswana, the country with the highest rate of infection at one point was in danger of disappearing as a nation. This is truly tragic! Do we wonder why people want to leave those lands? Wouln't we?
