The Elites Opened the Doors to Migrants and Chaos – WSJ

The deeper reality is that it isn t our values that have failed. We are witnessing instead the most powerful indictment of a political and cultural elite whose hegemony is long overdue to meet its nemesis. The demographic reality of an overpopulated and still immiserated global south that is disgorging hundreds of millions of people to the wealthy north is making chaos of the attitudes and decisions of a ruling elite that by design or accident seems hell-bent on the West s self-annihilation.

Perhaps I exaggerate. But the scale of the migration crisis in the west more than the rise of China, the challenge of new technologies or the climate seems to me the issue that will increasingly define the politics of our age.
