Lauren Southern, Caolan Robertson, and George John in Borderless (2019)

Review by sophie-86354

Borderless

9/10

Must watch documentary which the mainstream media won't show you

This is one of the biggest issues affecting Europe currently yet we do not get independent accurate journalistic coverage of what's going on and there is a reason why. Namely that leftist media outlets have been colluding to present a particular narrative about the refugee crisis which doesn't reflect reality. The migrants are as Lauren points out mostly not bad people - they want what we would all want, to live in a country with better economic opportunities yet when they arrive their skillsets and often limited English mean there are not jobs for them and the need to provide social housing and welfare benefits are over burdening Europe. Not to mention crime spiking in a number of areas from this influx of young men with too much time on their hands and very different values. They are not as the media would have us believe predominately Syrian refugees but most are from elsewhere. We also don't get coverage of the real impacts of this influx on native populations who miss out on housing, having their children's schooling affected by resources directed to teaching new pupils the language and very real crime issues. It's not that immigration is bad in itself but too much, too soon creates a raft of problems.

The thing that stuck with me the most from the documentary was the interview with the Turkish farmer. He has been threatened by groups of migrants and now must take a gun out into the fields to work and arm himself at night. In his town women cannot go out alone even into the countryside because this is a migrant route where large groups of young men roam the roads. I almost wept that people who have lived in these areas for generations cannot safely make a living or even feel safe in their homes anymore. I am glad Lauren is speaking for these people when no one else will tell their story.
