In 1975 a Frenchman, Jean Raspail, wrote a fictional account of how western civilization was destroyed by unrestricted immigration from the Third World. His work, The Camp of the Saints, has been out of print for some time, but it again became popular in 2011 and Amazon now is offering it on Kindle and you can read it free online. I urge you to do so, because it is probably the most prescient novel you will ever read.
Every day on X (formerly Twitter) I read accounts from around the world of the increased crime,

It certainly appears to be correct. Illegal immigration is rampant all over Europe and the United States and causing problems everywhere it exists.
My question is why? Why are the leaders of these countries allowing it?
Not only allowing it pursuing it. Joe Biden is taking the rap for it , but every politician in Washington is partially responsible.
It won't stop until Americans stop it. And we had better do it soon if we want anything left.

As in everything else, the first thing the Left does is usurp the language. When did illegal aliens become immigrants? We should fight this wherever we come across it.

#1, Why? Because our leaders are afraid to be challenged. Even though they have a right and a duty to protect their citizens from bringing in violent immigrants (illegal aliens) who refuse to assimilate, they fear them more than they fear us. Isn’t that rich? We are the ones who pay their salaries and they fear the freeloaders? It takes an especially weak kind of coward to be so willing to betray their fellow citizens. I have never seen so much weakness by leaders today. They actually fear the truth! They will not hear the truth, they will not speak the truth and they certainly will not act upon the truth of what is happening. The acting out of the Hamas loving activists should move our leaders to act upon what they are seeing but they are too afraid of what the media will say. So basically, the protestors strategy is working like a dream. They know our leaders are week and they are able to disrupt our lives with their violent shenanigans and blame us for it!
It is terribly difficult to sit here in flyover country and watch these pathetic feckless leaders give our country over to the worst of the worst the world has to offer and do nothing. I despise everyone who turns a blind eye to this travesty. This is our country and it is worth fighting for, why give it over to seventh century barbarians?

Mass immigration is one result of communism/socialism. As Mark Steyn once wrote, what is the use of a a socialist utopia if it lasts only one generation and then devours the next generation, taking civilization down with it? What happens when a country’s young receive a free education, room and board for the first 30 years of their lives and for the next 15-25 years work a comfortable job from which they can’t be fired and which only demands a 20 hour work week with full benefits guaranteed after which they achieve retirement at age 50 with full pay and benefits meaning a comfortable life well into their 80’s. The native population becomes morally and emotionally weak and dependent but necessary jobs still must be filled.

To comment #2, the proper wording is " illegal alien CRIMINALS ", but don't tell the Administration, who says they are prospective VOTERS.

Why don't we hear about illegals invading the oil rich Middle Eastern countries? Why has only The West been 'chosen' for taking on the burden?

Republicans are not much better than democrats on border policy. They talk incessantly about “border security,” but just a few GOP pols really do much to stop the invasion. A stunning example of Republican failure on the issue occurred in 2017 and 2018 when President Trump’s plea for congressional appropriation to build the border wall languished in the Republican controlled US Congress. Open border investment class elitist house speaker Paul Ryan deserves much of the blame but I don’t think McConnell was on board with President Trump’s border policy. And I suspect many other Republicans engage in a disingenuous tactic —- they give lip service to constituents about the border while working behind the scenes to retain the free flow of illegal aliens. Follow the money. Many big donors will cut off Republicans who don’t pursue the status quo on border policy.

If all of the immigrants were moral, family-centered, and hard working folk dedicated to becoming AMERICAN citizens, I might be less bothered. But freely letting in our enemies - as in Iranian/Islamic terrorists and ChiCom soldiers - is a recipe for catastrophe. War is coming for the heart and soul of our country - and we'd best remember that we won't be the only ones armed.

Certainly one of the greatest and most frightening novels. At one time, a soft cover copy on amazon was $700. Nice to see it more widely available.

In the context of the quoted part in the last section of the article...
...the opposite of 'far-right' is ... Far Wrong.

When the United Kingdom becomes an Islamic Caliphate, Islamic Jihadis will have nuclear weapons. Most major cities in the UK are run by Islamic governments. The caliphate wont be long. What is occurring in the UK can happen here, left to our government's willingness to allow Hamas supporters to take refuge in America.

Read every word of this one, Clarice outdoes herself. Immigration is sold as a bill of goods and many countries accept it with blinders on. The propaganda that sells the idea to a country portrays immigration as a good and necessary process by selling the diversity, increased workforce and the humanity of it as necessary for being a good citizen of the world. The reality is that the actual immigrants they get are uneducated, unsophisticated, third-world flotsam who see a better deal than fixing their own hellholes by taking advantage of countries that already provide what they don't have the ambition to work for. Why work when you can get it for free by taking advantage of others who are willing to take care of you? If the immigrants were good and wise people, they would behave themselves but the darker parts of their nature soon take over and there you have theft, rape, hatred, violence and racism against their hosts. The United States is now no smarter than the Euroweenies and one Barack Hussein Obama, a third world grifter himself, is the reason behind it all. We have allowed one undesireable immigrant to create a huge problem for us and there he sits in one of his many mansions and on piles of unearned money because of our gullibility.

Notice how mass-migration is only one way and highly targeted. It's noticeably from third-world hellholes to Anglo-prosperous western nations. We must think of it as "Reverse Colonization" or "'Reparations' on West nations for allowing merchants to be customers of Muslim slavers nearly 300 years ago."
Mass immigration of ignorant heathen peoples from uncivilized/semi-civilized hellholes only works to weaken those nations, while allowing the nations who refuse to participate in forced "ethnicide" to strengthen militarily, gain monetarily, and assert regional dominance politically.
Change is bad... massive high-velocity change triggers civil war.

#’s 2 and 5, I prefer to call them ILLEGAL INVADERS. We should have the Army and National Guard stationed along the entire length of the border with armed weapons pointed south.

read a summary of "The Camp of the Saints", do not get a copy and try to read it. It is perhaps the perfect example of an author taking an idea that would have made a decent short story and expanding it into a boring, turgid, massively overwritten "novel". I tried mightily but finally gave up about 85% of the way through when the way it was end was clear enough and I just couldn't stand it any more.
The idea is interesting, and while not in any directly 'true to the plot' way, but functionally, it is coming slowly true.

Like I've been saying for a couple of years: Camp of the Saints was supposed to be a warning tale, NOT an instruction manual.
