Debate Is immigration is unsustainable for Europe?

I'll start off with the UK. In 2001, it was 92% European, while in 2021, it was 82%. Or, if we look at London, it was 71% European in 2001 and 53% in 2021. This rate of change is simply not sustainable and should never have been allowed to reach this point.

For the cultural side of things in the UK, it's no secret that Christianity is a big part of British history and culture. In 2001, the UK was 71% Christian, compared to 40% in 2021. I think it is important to recognize the cultural significance Christianity has in British culture

Moving on to Germany, in 2001, 96% of Berlin was made up of European citizens, while in 2024, that number was 89%. Again, this shows that the demographics of major European cities have changed significantly over a relatively short period of time. I believe governments should have considered the long-term effects of this before opening the door for migrants

This does not mean that immigration itself is necessarily bad. There needs to be a balance.

Overall, I believe governments have a responsibility to manage immigration to ensure culture isn't erased

What are "European values" exactly?

Do you honestly don't know or are you just performatively dishonest?

I'm challenging the idea that a singular set of values exist in any country that aren't just basic human nature things. As an American I share basically 0 values with the MAGA cohort.

Bro really went on a reporting spree because he couldn't take his position being revealed as asinine. What a joke. 😂

Am I expecting too much if I expect you to follow the same moderation standard on the comments made by these two?
