We are told
that there is a migrant crisis in Europe.
How did that happen? Whose fault
is it? Why did nobody warn us?
This longish article from Standpoint by Douglas Warner is easy to
read and to understand. It is not so
easy to try to work out what happens next.

know of human history people have been on the move for many and various reasons
throughout time. Some have been relatively
peaceful but some have not.
As humanity
extended its reach across the world and increased in number then the movement
would be more extensive and in a global form more complex.

in human population in the last century has been greater than in the past so any
movement was going to have to go somewhere.
Why is it
impossible for our governments to understand the basics and to work out the potential
implications?
Who cares.
