There is no "tidal wave" of immigrants anywhere in Europe nor in other "developed" countries. All the problems you mention exist on their own and would affect the local population just as much if there were no immigrants. Edit: we could argue about "immigrants" Vs. "refugees" here, but the regular immigrants don't come in small boats.

That's a straight up lie and you know it. 8 million in 4 years is a tidal wave no matter how you slice it.

Source? There are not even 8 million refugees in all of the EU together. The total refugee population is around 7 million in the entire EU.

And even if they would have all arrived in the last 4 years (which they didn't, less than half did & mostly from Ukraine), that "tidal wave" of around 1.5% of the total population sure is massive /s

Edit: The 8 million "immigrants" figure for the US is fake news as well.
