If we’re talking Europe as a whole, there are quite a few more refugees coming here.

Look at how much money the European states are spending on staffing up their militaries and compare it to what they're spending to aid refugees out of the wars in North Africa and along the Russian border.

Look at the French involvement in the Libya Civil War from 2014 to 2020. Check out how they're still trying to fuck around in Algeria and Tunisia. Syria has been subject to "liberation" since the Green Revolution of 2013, and guess what's happened since.

Now we get an earful about how expensive things have become, as boats full of North African refugees show up on their shores.
