The March is a movie that was aired by BBC One for "One World Week" in 1990. The plot concerns a charismatic Muslim leader from the Sudan who leads 250,000 Africans on a 3,000 miles (4,800 km) march towards Europe with the slogan, "We are poor because you are rich."
The film's production resulted in complaints from French author Jean Raspail, alleging similarities to his 1973 novel, The Camp of the Saints. The film's producers claimed to have no knowledge of Raspail's novel when they begain their project, however.
For those of you who have never heard of the novel "The Camp of the Saints", here:
The Camp of the Saints (Le Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French apocalyptic novel by Jean Raspail. The novel depicts a hypothetical setting whereby Third World mass immigration to France and the West leads to the destruction of Western civilization. Almost forty years after publication the book returned to the bestseller list in 2011.[1]
The title is a reference to the Book of Revelation (Rev 20:9).
The Camp of the Saints is a novel about population migration and its consequences. In Calcutta, India, the Belgian government announces a policy in which Indian babies will be adopted and raised in Belgium.
The policy is reversed after the Belgian consulate is inundated with poverty-stricken parents eager to give up their infant children. An Indian "wise man" then rallies the masses to make a mass exodus to live in Europe.
Most of the story centers on the French Riviera, where almost no one remains except for the military and a few civilians, including a retired professor who has been watching the huge fleet of run-down freighters approaching the French coast.
The story alternates between the French reaction to the mass immigration and the attitude of the immigrants. They have no desire to assimilate into French culture but want the goods that are in short supply in their native India.
Although the novel focuses on France, the rest of the West shares its fate. Near the end of the story the mayor of New York City is made to share Gracie Mansion with three families from Harlem, the Queen of the United Kingdom must agree to have her son marry a Pakistani woman, and only one drunken Soviet soldier stands in the way of thousands of Chinese people as they swarm into Siberia. The one holdout until the end of the novel is Switzerland, but by then international pressure isolating it as a rogue state for not opening its borders forces it to capitulate.

AOW sent me a couple of links, and I have to smile. I have a column for _Economic Affairs_ in a folder and it will be my next piece after "Jihad Packets" shows on the page.
It is interesting that when Turkey wanted to join the EU several years ago there was a strong push back from France. Essentially, the government stated they could not absorb a large immigration demographic of poor, unskilled peasants. They come. Where do they live, what kind of work can they do, how long do they have to be subsidized? There is already generational subsidy of immigrants who came to Britain after WW II for the construction boom.
Immigration must move slowly and in orderly manner so that the tax burden does not become too great for the citizen taxpayers.
In 2006 I wrote of an implosion of Europe in 2050. Perhaps, the landscape will change dramatically much sooner. What happens when the enlightened class become oppressed by those who refuse to assimilate and embrace the cultural anchors which make society work?

Last English Prince,
In 2006 I wrote of an implosion of Europe in 2050. Perhaps, the landscape will change dramatically much sooner.
Unless something else intervenes, Europe will implode much sooner than 2050.
Until Europe GROKS the concept of Hejira, or Hijrah, Europe will not be safe.
My prediction: They will not grok and they will be overrun.
