    I think in the case of France and Europe, the Syrian civil war led to a lot of refugees coming. I’m sure they did find jobs, but it wasn’t the primary reason for their arrival.

      I think in the case of France and Europe, colonizing half the fucking world led to a lot of refugees coming.

      Oh, lots of Algerians coming to France? Maybe you shouldn’t have conquered fucking Algeria and given them a reason to.

        Well, sure there have always been some immigrants, so the question is why is it now leading to a right wing backlash? I think what is different is the high volume due to the Syrian civil war.
