Never thought a globalist like Gates would say this.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has warned that Africa’s population explosion will overwhelm Europe unless the continent makes it more difficult for migrants to reach its shores.

The American billionaire’s comments come as European leaders discuss what to do about the surging number of Africans arriving in Italy each week, with Rome calling for other European Union (EU) nations to open their ports to docking migrants so as to ease pressure on the Mediterranean nation.

In an interview with the German Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Gates said massive population growth in Africa will result in “enormous [migratory] pressure” on Europe unless countries increase overseas development aid payments.

Praising Germany having achieved its commitment to devote 0.7 per cent of GDP to foreign aid as “phenomenal”, the 61-year-old called on “other European nations to follow its example”.

But Gates also spoke of a dilemma caused by ‘the German attitude to refugees’, referring to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to open Europe’s borders to illegal migrants arriving from the third world.

“On the one hand you want to demonstrate generosity and take in refugees, but the more generous you are, the more word gets around about this — which in turn motivates more people to leave Africa,” Gates told the Sunday newspaper.

“Germany cannot possibly take in the huge, massive number of people who are wanting to make their way to Europe.”

Because of this, Gates stressed that “Europe must make it more difficult for Africans to reach the continent via the current transit routes”.

Italy is demanding that other EU nations open their ports to migrants ferried from Libya as the country struggles to cope with having already received over 80,000 people this year.

Calling for African newcomers to be spread throughout Europe, the Mediterranean nation’s globalist centre-left government insisted that the EU migrant relocation programme — which is largely limited to people from Eritrea and Syria — should be expanded to include other nationalities, such as Nigerians.

UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, on Saturday decried an “unfolding tragedy” in Italy.

“Without a swift collective action, we can only expect more tragedies at sea,” he declared, noting that around 2,000 migrants have lost their lives on the sea route from Libya to Italy this year.

The Italian diplomat repeated calls for an “urgent distribution system” for incoming migrants and asylum seekers, and “additional legal pathways to admission”.

Roy Beck's gumballs still speaks volumes.....

Well, IIRC, Germany has already taken in some 2 million of those "refugees". I distinctly remember seeing news videos of the huge lines of those "refugees" crossing the border into Germany. The huge majority of them were well nourished adult males, virtually every one of them had his Iphone, etc, and they seemed to be well dressed as well. Look what all the generosity got Germany! Not to mention the other European country that have been swamped with criminals. Gang rapes are rampant, and in many cases are never reported in the media for fear of causing "unrest".

Germany, according to family members there, has taken to essentially seizing empty houses and apartments to house these "immigrants".

Yes, Europe will be overwhelmed by this invasion. Simply because they are doing virtually nothing to stop it. 1000s pouring into western Europe every day. And it will only get worse.

I have a suggestion for Gates: why don't you adopt a few 1000 of them and put them up on your estates?

Why don't the global powers just install governments that will lead to prosperity - the refugees don't mind living under our governments anyway. A system of refugees is neither long term viable nor scalable.

People stay where they are, more countries prosper, win-win. Except for the tyrannical governments and liberals.

Cheap labor.

So what Mr. Nyborg is eluding to above, is that these 3rd-world shit-holes are just too STUPID to bring themselves out of poverty. Is that a correct assessment?

Yeah, pretty much. Not only that, but if someone supplied them with a functioning democracy, it would collapse.

gee

ya think, Bill?

A lot of the reason is tribal communism. Strong disincentive to make money if you have to share it with 64 relatives.

True story related by an old professor. His student from Africa won a prize. He asked the prof not to give him money but to give him a typewriter because the folks back in the village would not be interested in that.

Sorry to have to say it, but some people just aren't meant for democracy and freedom. They need a jackboot firmly planted on their necks at all times.

I guess its too simple a solution, but whats wrong with just refusing to let them dock in European ports or cross over European borders, and immediately returning anyone who ignores those rules? One would tend to think that might stem the flow a bit.

Gates solution is as usual, just pour more European/American money into African countries. Yeah, that should solve the problems there.

Yup. My position has always been, (this is always fun to throw this out there during cocktail/dinner/BBQ parties) is that there's some cultures that are incompatible with one another. If your culture is one of tribalism, is so hidebound to 'the old ways', or, your culture doesn't support an ounce of entrepreneurialism, you're gonna have a very difficult time surviving in the West.

There's many cultures that exist, where the culture is structured around a central figure or, figures making all the decision making. On one end of the spectrum, you have the many Arab, African and Central Asian cultures where violent verdicts for resolutions are handed down like candy at a Easter Egg hunt, (religion helps prop that culture up); on the other end, look at Native American/Polynesian cultures, they're much more accommodating and deferential to various cultural challenges despite having decision making and judgements tied to a single figure or, group of elders/council.

Gates is a little late to the party......too late.

You mean like Colonialism? Regime change? The White Man's Burden? Same game, different names.

Then sending a tripled, or larger, military to enforce that Colonial Mandate with all the cost and loss that would entail? Like we've done in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Lock down the borders and let Africa and southwest Asia figure it out for themselves.

I've thought this for years. It's the only thing that will keep them in check. If they know a despot like Saddam or Gaddafi will have their entire family wiped off the face of the earth, they will toe the line.

Yep... and not his own money.
This is a thinly veiled call for a more globalism:



According to Gates, the combination of explosive population growth in Africa combined with Europe’s notoriously generous open-border migrant welfare programs – as illustrated by the ‘German attitude to refugees’ have incentivised migrants to flood into Europe.

“On the one hand you want to demonstrate generosity and take in refugees, but the more generous you are, the more word gets around about this - which in turn motivates more people to leave Africa.”



While Germany has been one of the pioneers of the open door policy, it cannot “take in the huge, massive number of people who are wanting to make their way to Europe.”



Thus Gates advised European nations to take action in order to make it “more difficult for Africans to reach the continent via the current transit routes.”


–Bill Gates

How to stop them?

Gates, whose third world vaccination programs have contributed to Africa’s population explosion, suggested that heaping tons of money onto Africa while taking steps to prevent transit into Europe is the best solution.

After calling Germany’s commitment to allocate 0.7% of GDP towards foreign aid ‘phenomenal,’ Gates encouraged ‘other European nations to follow its example.”

(Because Africa is of course known for efficiently managing billions in foreign aid without corruption to ensure that their people are taken care of. Surely Europe’s donations will create an Africa that rivals downtown Hamburg.)

But does this represent a major shift in the way globalists view immigration? And if so, why would this shift occur?

If I were to guess, it has nothing to do with the fact that mass migration is ruining Europe and Western civilization. The globalists have always advocated for the disintegration of Western values and borders. It has to do with the indirect results of mass immigration.

The refugee crisis is what has spurred the most resistance to globalism in recent years. It has ignited countless nationalistic political parties in Europe. It has contributed to Brexit, the election of Donald Trump, and the slow motion fracturing of the EU.

What Bill Gates is saying, is a sign that the globalist may have realized that they’ve made a fatal mistake. By promoting open borders, they’ve sown the seeds for their own destruction. Their decision to allow millions of refugees into Europe has solidified populist conservative movements across the West that threaten to dethrone them. Now they’re trying to close this can of worms.

Unfortunately for them and us, it may to be too late.

Like putting his money where his mouth is? I get a kick out of these multi-billionaires preaching to those of us scrimping by on retirement checks, weekly payroll checks, etc.

Migrants leave their old lands, often repressive, to find a better life. I can't fault their choices, as long as they are willing to adopt the principles of their new lands that provide the better life they seek.

The problem I see is migrants who leave third world conditions in their homeland, but bring with them, and demand their right to maintain, the cultural norms and practices that produce the conditions they are trying to escape.
