Anti-Immigration Sentiment Rises in Europe

Europe is beginning to conclude, very late in the day, they have to stop accepting a flood of economic migrants from the Middle East and Africa. The Gatestone Institute website has an article by Soeren Kern which summarizes the anti-immigration forces building there.

Leading the charge are Hungarian President Orban and Italian Interior Minister Salvini, both of whom are quoted extensively. Other forces cited include the leadership of Austria and the Visigrad Group of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.

Mentioned by name are Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders, France's National Front leader Marine Le Pen, and Hungary's Orbán It is surprising Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party isn't included as they sing from the same hymnal.
