Most of the nations of Europe are facing a crisis, the greatest, in fact, since 1945. Nations that were once powerful and proud, like Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, are facing a new invasion, an unprecedented invasion, and this invasion is different because the law enforcement, the military, and the governments of these nations have held the doors open and allowed the invaders in. They now face a very real danger: That in another generation or two, they will have lost any semblance of cultural or national identity. Thanks to the invasion and to the declining birthright of ethnic Europeans, in due time, Germany, France, and Britain will no longer be German, French or British, and the same will apply to the other nations of Europe.
The invaders are growing bolder, and more intrusive, more defiant, seemingly by the day. The latest sign of this is the increasing problem of what the European press euphemistically calls "migrant" youths, who are forming mobs, rioting, and destroying property, while increasingly defying the authorities.
It's to the point now where the "migrant" youth gangs have taken over entire districts, and the local authorities have surrendered control to the mobs.
Numbers tell part of the story, but the lived experiences hit harder. Imagine being a paramedic called to a neighborhood where crowds gather not to help, but to hinder your work. In some Swedish cities, ambulance crews have openly discussed refusing certain calls due to safety fears. “We’re worried someone will get killed if nothing changes,” one specialist reportedly said.
Similar tensions surface in Belgium, where districts like Molenbeek have gained notoriety over the years. Police there sometimes face open mockery when trying to enforce basic laws. The sense of impunity can spread quickly once residents realize authorities won’t—or can’t—push back effectively.
In Germany, concerns extend even to transportation hubs. Train stations, once symbols of open mobility, are increasingly described as risky after dark. Foreign-born individuals show up disproportionately in crime statistics, according to various police reports. It’s a pattern repeated in France’s banlieues, Marseille’s tough quarters, and parts of the Netherlands and Spain.
There's an elephant in that room: Most of these "migrants" come from majority Muslim nations, and they bring all the pathologies of their home societies with them, to Europe, as well as to the New World.

The response from authorities has been tepid at best. These authorities in Europe, like in the United States, are charged with protecting the liberty and property of the citizens. That's the fundamental purpose of government.
Some cities are now starting to push back, but they are on defense, as a recent initiative in Rotterdam shows.
Rotterdam has introduced an unprecedented nighttime ban preventing people from entering large parts of the De Esch district unless they live, work, or have another valid reason to be there.
The measure was introduced after residents endured nearly three years of street racing, drug use, intimidation, prostitution, and persistent noise from migrant youth gangs that made normal life impossible.
The measure bars anyone from entering the affected area between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they have a specific reason to be there. Residents, their visitors, people working in the district, and those attending local businesses or events are exempt.
In Rotterdam, the government has raised a modern version of the great city walls of old, around certain neighborhoods. Here's the thing about city walls: Sooner or later, they are always breached.
As my friend and colleague Jennifer Oliver O'Connell recently informed us, we have our own problems right here in the United States, although we are handling it rather better than Europe.

Because of the inaction by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass (D) and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard, but not before one brain trust decided to ride his motorcycle into a skirmish line of LAPD officers. Randy Paul Ruiz was arrested and indicted by L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman on two felony counts of assault upon a peace officer.
The problem on both sides of the Atlantic has to do with (mostly illegal) immigration without assimilation. Granted, the legal/illegal line in Europe is fuzzier than in the United States, thanks in part to the nations of Europe's sometimes feather-headed "refugee" policies. And Europe faces the very real threat of an increasingly vocal Muslim minority that is pushing to become a majority. Given Europe's demographics, they may well succeed, as the new arrivals show no inclination to assimilate, to become German, French, or British.
Most of America's illegal immigrants, while troublesome, come from predominantly Catholic Latin America. There's a vast cultural difference between them and Europe's waves of mostly Muslim immigration. The waves of "migrants" in the Western Hemisphere include vicious gang members and criminals, but probably a majority of them are still products of a Judeo-Christian culture, with the attitudes and sensibilities that come with that. Many of the "migrants" from the Muslim world bring with them seventh-century sensibilities, including an appalling disregard for the rights of women and non-Muslims.
That's the problem that the nations of Europe have to contend with, if there is to be a Europe that is recognizable in 20, 40, or 80 years. And we are starting to see it happen here, in the United States.
The question is this: Is it already too late?
