Question: Why Are Europeans Leaving Europe?

Answer: Socialism and Third World immigration Why do some Americans (Hillary, MoveOn, Rosie O’Donnell, George
Clooney, et. al) wish to recreate a system that Europeans are fleeing
in droves? I suspect that most moderate Americans "get this" which is
why we don’t hear non-politicians crying about Bush’s <a href=”http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20071004/cm_huffpost/067143″>limiting of SCHIP</a>. Anyways, here’s the article: Spelling lesson: "Immigration" means people coming in; "emigration"
means people going out. According to European journalist Paul Belien,
Europe is facing both kinds of problems, with more and more native-born
citizens leaving their own countries, going mostly to America, Canada,
Australia, or New Zealand: 
 Last year more than 155,000 Germans emigrated from their native
country. Since 2004 the number of ethnic Germans who leave each year is
greater than the number of immigrants moving in. While the emigrants
are highly motivated and well educated, "those coming in are mostly
poor, untrained and hardly educated," says Stephanie Wahl of the German
Institute for Economics.

In a survey conducted in 2005 among German university students, 52
percent said they would rather leave their native country than remain
there. By "voting with their feet," young, educated Germans affirm that
Germany has no future to offer them and their children. As one couple
who moved to the United States told the newspaper Die Welt: "Here our
children have a future in which they will not have to fear unemployment
and social decline." There are two main reasons why so-called
"ethno-Germans" emigrate. Some complain that the tax rates in Germany
are so high that it is no longer worthwhile working for a living there.
Others indicate they no longer feel at home in a country whose cultural
appearance is changing dramatically.

The situation is similar in other countries in Western Europe.
Since 2003, emigration has exceeded immigration to the Netherlands. In
2006, the Dutch saw more than 130,000 compatriots leave. The rise in
Dutch emigration peaked after the assassinations of Pim Fortuyn and
Theo van Gogh. This indicates that the flight from Europe is related to
a loss of confidence in the future of nations which have taken in the
Trojan horse of Islamism, but which, unlike the Trojans, lack the guts
to fight.

Elsewhere in Western Europe immigration currently still surpasses
emigration, though emigration figures are rising fast. In Belgium the
number of emigrants surged by 15 percent in the past years. In Sweden,
50,000 people packed their bags last year — a rise of 18 percent
compared to the previous year and the highest number of Swedes leaving
since 1892. In the United Kingdom, almost 200,000 British citizens move
out every year.

Americans who think that the European welfare state is the model to
follow would do well to ponder the question why, if Europe is so
wonderful, Europeans are fleeing from it. European welfare systems are
redistribution mechanisms, taking money from skilled and educated
Europeans in order to give it to nonskilled newcomers from the Third
World.

Gunnar Heinsohn, a German sociologist at the University of Bremen,
warns European governments that they are mistaken if they assume that
qualified young ethnic Europeans will stay in Europe. "The really
qualified are leaving," Mr. Heinsohn says. "The only truly loyal
towards France and Germany are those who are living off the welfare
system, because there is no other place in the world that offers to pay
for them… It is no wonder that young, hardworking people in France
and Germany choose to emigrate," he explains. "It is not just that they
have to support their own aging population. If we take 100 20-year-olds
[in France or Germany, then the 70 [indigenous Frenchmen and Germans
also have to support 30 immigrants of their own age and their
offspring. This creates dejection in the local population, particularly
in France, Germany and the Netherlands. So they run away." <a href=”http://www.nelsonguirado.com/index.php/asymmetric/2007/10/04/why_are_europeans_leaving_europe_our_cup”>Source</a>
