This is 2017. The world is in crisis. There are millions of refugees and migrants converging on the land of plenty, the western countries. Each nation is dealing with the problem in a unique way, but overall there is no solution in sight. The reality is that the population of the poor countries is simply walking and swimming to the richer lands. Left unchecked, they will colonize the "advanced" nations and simply take what's there. Or at leas that's what the people in the "have" nations fear. Everyone I know advocates peace, as long as they are on top when peace is declared. This is the point that we have to defend by force if necessary.
The poor populations were initially invited or transported into the rich nations as slaves. The more advanced civilizations wanted the poor to do the dirty and hard work for them. Over generations they discovered that the poor people are human and will compete for all that the rich poses. As they assimilated to become part of the rich, others were brought in to replace them. Soon as the word spread, the "poor" took initiative to go to the "rich" places and overwhelmed them in numbers. The rich countries can not be absolved from responsibility. They became more technologically advanced and raided the poor areas of the world, not just for labor but for all the materials they could use. It was just a question of time until the exploited populations would wake up and begin to want their share and more. They challenged the values admired by the host countries. Being less advanced, the fear is that instead of the emigrants joining the wealthy nations they will take over the lands and bring them down to poverty. What became obvious is that the wealthy nations are mostly Christian and the poorer populations are Muslim. Two somewhat irrelevant ideologies that now signify the difference.
At this point we are seeing the mostly Caucasian Christian populations trying to defend themselves from the mostly brown and black Muslim people who are simply walking in to the white countries and settling in. There are so many of them that it is simply impossible to kill them all or to push them back. In Europe it is Africans and Middle Easterners and in North America it is the South Americans flocking in. Any attempts to contain them failed. The mostly white populations under siege are divided in opinions of how to handle the crisis. Some wish to help the migrants and keep trying to assimilate them, while others who call themselves realistic, wish to use force and physically expel assumed attempts of colonization. In the mean time Germany alone needs 400000 new people a year just to maintain the work force they have.
Neo-liberal thinking supports removal of regulations in order to allow the "market" dictate what happens in the world. The neo-liberals, or conservatives, or capitalists, do however want to regulate movements of people. It is not enough that hungry people gravitate towards food. The people should be allowed into the lands of plenty, only in small numbers and only in a way that legalize exploitation of their labor. They should be named, illegals, refugees or any other term which will deny them any benefits granted to the existing inhabitants of the land. There is no push towards allowing the market to dictate the rules of the game. In other words, Neo-Liberals wish to have no rules imposed on their ability to profit, but lots of rules, enforced, to regulate the upwards mobility of the less fortunate. It used to work but new technologies exposed the problem to all who care to keep informed. People in the Christian wealthy side of the world are realizing that they are participating in a very unchristian venture. Majority of the advanced populations are also discovering that they, themselves, are exploited but to a lesser degree then the migrants. We now see well wishing white Christians and Jews joining pro emigration movements and protests.
At this point people are still struggling with laws and boarders that existed in yesterday's world. Yet as the overwhelming majority of humanity is realizing its future options, a new reality is dawning. In tomorrow's world the emphasis will have to be on sustaining all humans regardless of economics. productivity, profits and returns. Either humanity will focus on existence for all, or the order in the world will be replaced with cause and perhaps extinction. We can insure that humanity over all will benefit from its own efforts, or the least fortunate in desperation will rise against the fewer "have got" people and all will loose. The choice is ours and the time to make a choice is running out. Any ult. right supporters who believe that we can just round up the "have not" people and incinerate them is not living in reality.
Our generation is completely unable to survive without the network of all the people around us. Nobody can build a computer or make a car without parts. Remove any of us from the social environment we are in and he or she will be back in the cave age, if they survive. Humans are not solitary animals but refuse to think as an integrated part of a self sustaining community.
