Intelligent people are abandoning Europe

From The Brussels Journal:

A quote from Tony Paterson in The Independent, 1 June 2007

Figures released by Germany’s Federal Statistics Office showed that the number of Germans emigrating rose to 155,290 last year [...]. Leading economists and employers say the trend is alarming. [...] OECD figures show that Germany is near the top of a league of industrial nations experiencing a brain drain which for the first time since the 1950s now exceeds the number of immigrants. [...]

Yesterday, the country’s woes were underscored by a report which disclosed that areas of unemployment-wracked eastern Germany were populated by a “male-dominated underclass susceptible to far right ideology” because of a dramatic 25 per cent exodus of young women aged 18 to 29.

More than 18,000 Germans moved to Switzerland last year. The US was the second most popular destination with 13,245, followed by Austria with 9,309.

Most of those Germans were already at least functional in English. They are educated and possess marketable job skills. They would be an asset to the United States, yet they are made to stand in line for years and jump through endless hoops and the number allowed into this nation every year is strictly limited.

And the meat of the immigration "reform" bill that the congressional Democrats and our "Republican" president are pushing would greatly expand the numbers of ignorant peasants who don't speak English and most of whom don't ever read Spanish into the nation.

As for why educated and skilled Germans are leaving Germany there are two reasons. One is the economy of the socialist and undemocratic European Union is rapidly deteriorating and intelligent persons can read the handwriting on the wall about the rise in the Muslim population and what that means. Another generation or two and Europe will be under sharia.

No civilized person wants to live under those conditions.
