1) they united in the euro
2) their immigration problems are real - they are getting and going to get a lot more refugees from climate change than we are - our immigration 'problem' is a bunch of bullshit 1000 talk radio stations were used to create so rove and his successors could pass voter suppression legislation all over the country
3) because liberals ignore it, we have a talk radio monopoly blasting the country with lies and ignorance and authoritarian buzz making ignorant fascist assholes like trump president and selling voter suppression legislation on false pretexts like lots of illegal aliens are voting for dems
