Mass Amnesty In Spain Heralds The End Of Nationhood

In Spain and across Europe, the ruling elite are turning to imperial methods of governance to erase their own people.

A remarkably candid column appeared in the New York Times this week by Spain’s left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who recently announced his government would grant amnesty to half a million illegal immigrants living in Spain. Framed as an argument for “why the West needs migrants,” Sánchez’s essay is really an admission of moral collapse, and a frank declaration that he intends to destroy his nation in exchange for short-term economic gain.

It is an admission of moral collapse because the Spanish government has signaled its willingness to erase their country, put the interests of foreigners above those of native citizens, and turn Spain into a magnet for Third World migration...

Tellingly, Sánchez does not mention the moral duty the Spanish government has to his own people. Nor does he even attempt to explain why Spain has a moral obligation to legalize these migrants...

... Intentionally creating an underclass of unassimilated foreigners, who because they are not citizens have no real stake in the future of the country, is a recipe for national disintegration and ethnic conflict — the kind of conflict that must be managed by a strong centralized state. It’s the kind of thing empires do, not democracies...

Indeed, that might be precisely what Sánchez and like-minded European leaders have in mind. Managing different groups of people using different sets of rules is how imperial government usually works...

It will mean the end of Europe — and if we let it happen here, it will mean the end of us too.
