In the ongoing migrant invasion of Europe — an invasion that is welcomed by the governments of western Europe — the village of Sant’Alessio in Calabria, southern Italy is a microcosm. See if you can spot the propaganda in the following “report” by Fanny Carrier of AFP (via France24), April 16, 2017: In the foothills of the Aspromonte mountains in southern Italy, the silence of a once-dying village is broken by the laughter of a small group of refugees. Tiny Sant’Alessio has been welcoming families and vulnerable migrants here for three years in a project which not only provides humanitarian assistance but brings with it invaluable economic and social benefits. Over the years the village has dwindled to only 330 inhabitants, many of them elderly. The steep cobbled streets are deserted and most windows are shuttered, residents having left over the years for better work opportunities in Turin, Milan or as far away as Australia. In an attempt to reverse the trend, however, since 2014 the council has been renting eight of these empty flats to house up to 35 migrants at a time as part of the national SPRAR network (Protection System for Asylum Seekers and Refugees). Everything is done to help the newcomers get back on their feet, from Italian lessons to legal, medical and psychological assistance, vocational training and social activities such as gardening, cooking and dancing classes. The village is currently home to an Iraqi Kurdish family, a Gambian couple with a baby and young people from Ghana, Nigeria, Mali and Senegal. There is a special project for the most vulnerable, including HIV-positive people, diabetics, victims of prostitution networks, a deaf and dumb couple, and a young woman whose toddler son was shot dead in Libya and husband is feared drowned. “Our mission is both humane and humanitarian, that’s the most important thing,” said Stefano Calabro, a 43-year-old police officer who has been mayor of Sant’Alessio since 2009. “But there is a significant economic benefit too.” The state allocates up to 45 euros (47 dollars) a day for each migrant, most of which goes to the organisers to cover costs. The project has created full or part-time jobs in Sant’Alessio for 16 people including seven locals — from social workers to Italian teachers and cultural mediators. And it has prevented the closure of the village’s basic services — a bar, small supermarket, doctor’s surgery and pharmacy. With funds to spend on services, the council has been able to open a small gym open to all residents and upkeep a lush sports field overlooking the valley, where migrants regularly challenge the team from a nearby drug rehabilitation centre. After six months to a year here, some of the refugees managed to find work in the region, others headed elsewhere. Ghanaian Salifu, 23, decided to stay on and has been living off odd jobs like helping with manual work in the fields. Sant’Alessio may not offer bright lights or much in the way of career opportunities, but a cheerful Salifu says “we’re not going anywhere”. After months in Sicily’s notorious, overcrowded Mineo camp, just small things like quick doctor appointments here seem a luxury. Sitting in the sunshine and watching the world go by from his front garden, 89-year old Antonio Sacca — who spent 54 years working in a Turin factory before returning home — says he likes his new neighbours. “They behave well. They live independent lives but often lend a helping hand,” he said. Bar owner and widow Celestina Borrello, 73, whose son left years ago to find work in Belgium, says “the village was emptying, so if there’s a little movement now, it’s a good thing”. “We know what it means to leave our land,” she adds. The project has been such a success that Coopisa, the association behind it, is opening others in four villages nearby. And there is another benefit: those that join the SPRAR network and take in small numbers of refugees are guaranteed not to have to host an emergency reception centre, such as the one in the nearby ski-town of Gambarie, where 120 migrants are massed in a hotel. With just 26,000 places available, the network is only a small part of Italy’s reception system, which hosts more than 176,000 people. While most are housed in large groups, often angering or frustrating local communities, this dusty village is seen as a quiet triumph. “Sant’Alessio has been our prototype,” said Coopisa head Luigi De Filippis, who points out there is scope for the project to go across Italy and beyond. “There are vast areas affected by the same depopulation in northern Italy and elsewhere in Europe.“ Here are some facts on Italy and migrants from a June 20, 2015 article by Nicholas Farrell in The Telegraph: ◾In 2013, Italy’s unelected left-wing government decriminalized illegal immigration, which means that none of the boat people are arrested once on dry land, but are taken to ‘Centri di accoglienza’ (welcome centers). ◾In the welcome centers, the “refugees” are given free board and lodging plus mobile phones, €3 a day in pocket money, and lessons — if they can be bothered — in such things as ice-cream-making or driving a car and Italian. Their presence in these welcome centers is voluntary and they are free to come and go, though not to work. Each “migrant” costs those Italians who do pay tax €35 a day (nearly €13,000 a year). Although the “migrants” are supposed to have their photographs and fingerprints taken, many refuse and the Italian police do not insist. ◾In 2014, the Italian navy “saved” about 194,700 migrants: ◾The majority of whom were Muslims. ◾“Hardly any” migrants were actual refugees, i.e., from war-torn countries such as Syria or Iraq. ◾70% of the migrants were from sub-Saharan Africa: Nigeria, Mali, Gambia, and Senegal. ◾Most were young single men. So what’s the reason for the Italian and other European governments’ welcoming of these Muslim invaders? Like other countries of western Europe, Italy’s population is aging and shrinking, with a population growth rate in 2016 of an estimated 0.23%, which is less than the replacement rate. That anemic 0.23% population growth rate is a computation based on: ◾A surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths ◾The balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. In other words, even with migrants, Italy’s population barely grew at all in 2016. We can only imagine what its births to deaths ratio must have been. In 2014, Italy’s birth rate of 509,000 births was the lowest in 150 years, since the modern Italian state was formed in 1861. That prompted Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin to say: “We are very close to the threshold of non-renewal where the people dying are not replaced by new-borns. That means we are a dying country.” (The Guardian) Abortion partially accounts for Italy’s low birth rate. In 2014, nominally Catholic Italy had 97,647 abortions — an abortion rate of 16.25%, i.e., 16.25% of pregnancies ended in abortion. (Johnson’s Archive) So if anyone is committing white genocide in Italy, it’s the Italians themselves. Poster Comment: It cannot possibly be a good thing when the majority of illegal immigrants are young males. Do young males have traditional family values? I think not. It's astonishing that Italians are so busy handing their country over to foreigners. Since those who are fleeing Africa in many instances are “economic refugees” not refugees fleeing war. What's up with the Italian Navy busting their butts by patrolling the Mediterranean for survivors of downed boats? It would seem that they wish to hasten their own demise. Although, I have vacationed in Italy, but now why would anyone want to pay a great expense to see these hoards of invaders and possibly get blown up or robbed, even murdered?

Which should tell everyone with an IQ as high as their pulse WHY so many people in government vote for this nonsense. That 47 dollars a day each that reaches the retards from Africa probably started as 200 dollars a day each,but by the time the politicians,lawyers,charities,churches,etc,etc,etc dipped their beaks into the till to "help the needy",only 47 bucks was left. It's nothing more than a huge pyramid system based on graft.
Correct: Those nations are fabian socialist governments.

Correct: Those nations are fabian socialist governments. That little factoid occurred to me one day recently,and my immediate thought was "It will make a good tag line". Sometimes things are so obvious that people just overlook them,and they need to be reminded.

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
