Many people easily support, on television, the stopping of the wave of illegal immigrants. However, it is difficult for a government to organize and successfully execute it in practice.
And, of course, it is even more inconceivable to leave unfortunate human beings to be tossed about and drowned in the sea. This is the difference between civilization and barbarity.
Of course, many will say, illegal immigrants pose a threat to the demographic balance of an aging Europe. If the mass migration of populations from Asia and Africa to the European continent continues, the latter in a few decades will essentially be a third-world region, from which the culture of human rights, reason, freedoms and democracy will have disappeared. No one wants a Europe that looks like a large, for example, Pakistan, a Europe where women wear burqas, girls do not go to school, adulterers are stoned to death, and thieves are punished by having their hands cut off. Europeans have struggled for centuries to preserve their culture. If the influx of immigrants continues, our culture will be eliminated.
But this same civilization, which we do not want to be swept away by illegal immigrants, demands their humane treatment. The immigrant reception centers, the provision of asylum and benefits, were created in this humanitarian logic. But it is now obvious that they are not enough. The migratory waves are now enormous and unmanageable with the known conventional methods. Moreover, the reaction of European public opinion is constantly increasing and more and more European voters are turning to far-right logics. Therefore, the limits of the mechanisms that were established after the Second World War to manage migratory inflows have now reached their limits and a new concept is required, which combines humanism with the drastic protection of the European world from demographic collapse and substitution by alien populations.
It is a difficult equation, but it has a (difficult but radical) solution: providing aid to underdeveloped countries and a fairer distribution of global wealth, combined with birth control, to cure the source of illegal immigration and contain the human reservoirs that overflow and send their demographic surplus to the developed north.
Until then, we must walk the delicate balance between national security and the protection of human rights, being careful not to nullify either.
