I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, so please moderators feel free to delete/move this post.
I was wondering, can anyone tell me what is happening in Europe when it comes to immigration? I'm seeing a lot of news about how Europe is "changing" but I don't completely understand what is going on (I'm from South America).

I don't know much myself, only that climate change and wars are driving middle Africans north and out into Europe if they can. Their migration is serious, people are starving and being murdered. I don't know how well these poor folks are being received after so many refugees have already fled there over the past decade.

Of course it's fiction. Like so many things Republicans claim the truth is far from what they espouse. It's all about scaring their supporters into believing their biases are right.

With how hard they are going, I suspect some violence is about to break out, in particular in Springfield Illinois. Similar to the UK.
