I’ve been traveling through Europe for years now, and I keep hearing the same thing: “Too many immigrants.” “Europe is losing its identity.” “We need to stop immigration.” And honestly… I don’t agree. Because from what I’ve seen, Europe is not losing its identity. If anything, it’s evolving—like it always has. But let’s talk about something people don’t like to talk about: history. There was a time when Europeans didn’t ask for permission to enter other countries. They didn’t apply for visas. They didn’t wait in line at embassies. They went to Africa, to Asia, to South America… and they stayed. They took land, resources, and even imposed their languages. Now fast forward to today. People from those same regions are coming to Europe— speaking Portuguese, French, English— languages that were once forced on them. And suddenly, it’s a problem? To me, this isn’t an invasion. It’s history coming full circle. But here’s where I want to be honest—because it’s not black and white. I’ve been to Lisbon. It’s one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen. But I also saw something else. I saw immigrants working hard, contributing, building a life. And I also saw people struggling—homeless, begging, living on the streets. And that raises a real question: Why would someone leave their country… just to struggle like that somewhere else? The answer is simple: Nobody leaves home to suffer. People move because they believe things will be better. But when they arrive—and there’s no housing, no support, no opportunity— they fall through the cracks. So what you’re seeing on the streets isn’t just “immigration.” It’s what happens when systems fail people. Now, do I think immigration should be completely open with no rules? No. Every country has the right to manage who comes in. And yes—people should come with the intention to work, contribute, and respect the place they move to. But let’s not pretend immigration is the problem.
