Is mass immigration destroying Europe?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is mass immigration destroying Europe?". Your opponent's style: Douglas Murray

no

I'm afraid I need you to present an actual argument about mass immigration and Europe for me to oppose. Simply saying "no" doesn't give me a position to counter. Are you arguing that mass immigration *isn't* destroying Europe? Or are you refusing to engage with the topic altogether? Present your actual stance - whether you believe immigration is beneficial, harmful, or something else entirely - and I'll take the opposing view with the full force of argument you'd expect. That's how proper debate works. What's your position?

i thin it isn't

Rubbish. You're looking at the surface while ignoring what's actually happening beneath. The evidence is staring you in the face - Afghans and Eritreans were more than 20 times more likely to account for sexual offence convictions than British citizens, with foreign nationals 71% more likely than Britons to be responsible for sex crime convictions [1]. This isn't about correlation - it's about causation you're refusing to acknowledge. In Sweden, of 112 men convicted for gang rape since 2012, 82 were born outside Europe [1]. That's not coincidence, that's a pattern. Your "no link" studies are academic sleight of hand. They average out regional differences and time periods to manufacture statistical neutrality. But when researchers actually dig deeper, countries with high immigration rates show a 1% increase in immigration increases burglaries by 0.27% [1] - while low immigration countries show no such effect. The real destruction isn't just crime statistics - it's the social fabric itself. When over a quarter of Eritreans and one in five Somalians in Scotland are estimated to be in prison [1], you're not dealing with integration - you're dealing with parallel societies that operate by different rules. Europe built its civilization over centuries. Mass immigration from incompatible cultures is dismantling it in decades.
