It certainly was mass migration. Each instance apart from the Chinese was rapid.

I ask again; why do you think those mass migrations were major errors as surely you must? To quote you "I consider mass migration a big mistake"

Forgot about the Irish too around the Great Famine. Another one. Mistake again?

A bout of "I can't understand simple concepts" appears to have broken out on here today. It must be the time of year.
We need a definition of what mass migration means. It has to be a relative amount.

I would assert that no migration in modern times can be compared to the last decade and to the potential migrations in future. We must relate all other migration to this period. Due to rapid global population increase, there appears to be no end to the numbers that can potentially arrive in foreseeable future.

Firstly. People coming from Eastern Europe might have been the largest group migrating but a very significant amount of migrants come from outside Europe.
I think mass migration is by far the biggest threat to our country and any other. It is largely about economics and resources but there are clearly related issues with religion, culture and crime that are inevitable when migrants arrive. If you deny that then you deny reality.
If you claim that recognising that is demonstrating prejudice then you merely wish to close down debate. The only reasons you would do that is because you know that you have no sensible counter argument or that you have a personal reason for the denial.

But at their time they were considered to be mass migrations. Tens or hundreds of thousands in a very short time moving from one country to another and to quite specific, small areas within that host country is exactly that. You are gainsaying that fact because it is in the past and you can't relate it to the now. I get it. But look further and think about it : What took place down the line? They adapted. We adapted. Eventually some, sooner others.

Still want to stick with your "mass migration is a big mistake" stance? Back it up then if 'yes' as England/UK history says otherwise.

You may be right about the current mass migration. Time will tell. You may also be wrong.

Let's face it.Whatever way you dress it up "intellectually" (and you certainly have a large wardrobe),its simply that you don't much care for people of a different ethnicity to yourself...

Interesting how you phrase that.

I have a relative level of care for most human beings. I care most for my family, then my friends and then a huge drop in relative care to almost everyone else, including immigrants. Some peoples habits I don't care much for and then there are a few select individuals that I wouldn't piss on if they were alight.

I would ask why you care so much about immigrants? You don't know 99% of them. Surely you prioritise your loved ones and want to protect them from harm don't you?
Most normal people would.
