One man's determination to take deadly migrant route from Senegal to Canary Islands | BBC News

The world is to different for the crap they spill about migration. After ww1 and ww2 the world was completely different from today these people have there own politicians now leaders to o deal with there problems now and with the internet most of the reasons people used to come here for are hot the same and can be done on here now. The land of empires doesn't exist in Europe anymore and untill the world gets a proper education in how the world has changed over the past 100 years and since ww2 you don't want people coming here now Trouble is Europe changed 30 years ago and with open borders here they can land in the canary islands then go and live anywhere within the European union before that nations used to use people from there own empires now it's not like that creating huge problems for the future here in Europe now.

Immigration has done nothing to help the economy of any country in Europe. Evidence shows the opposite is true.Immigration places a strain on economy,while also making societies of those countries much more dangerous and unpleasant.

I predict in the not too distant future that large parts of Europe will appear as African on a geographical map.

[@WillemVenter-e4p]

......and fd-up......like the rest of Africa.

[@Runconna]

The Canary Islands are part of the African continent, even though owned by Spain.

[@jeremias-serus]

@@Runconnajust so you are aware, the idea is that once you get into Canary, you can just travel up to Spain. Then from Spain to Northwestern Europe.

[@Runconna]

@@jeremias-serus Sure. I just wanted to point out the irony since he was talking about a "geographical map".

[@richardkent2014]

The whole idea of migration into Europe was ridiculous anyway and refugee to from eastern Europe into western Europe was ridiculous to the whole premise of Europe taking migrants from nations created out of our empires and refugees from Europe well before ww1 was always going to end in the mess it has and with the European union now dealing with things nations used to here it's only going to get worse now.

A few years back my kids took a DNA test... Yes I am the mother. Lol. Ok but seriously they both have markers from Senegal that came from my side. Since I already knew I am Norwegian, Spanish, and Chinese it honestly didn't surprise me. This post year she started dating a guy whose maternal grandparents were originally from the Cape Verde Islands. It's been interesting seeing what they have learned about their heritage since they started dating. 😊
