In little more than a decade, Angela Merkel, Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz, and other celebrated Eurocrats have ensured that the worst thing that can happen to you on the continent is to be European. France, Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Belgium — nations that were once prosperous and secure — are becoming nightmarish for their citizens. A walk through the center of Paris, Berlin, or Brussels can treat you to stabbings, threats, robberies, and a host of other disturbances.
It has been almost ten years since Merkel raised the famous “welcome refugees” banner and opened the doors to mass immigration. With a debate raging over the connection between these policies and crime, officials are in search of solutions. Those solutions leave much to be desired.
