Hundreds of migrants stormed the English Channel’s Eurotunnel on Monday, forcing train traffic to shut down in both directions.

Some of the migrants used diversions to distract police while others attempted to slip through the tunnel.

“[The migrants] are coming in waves to occupy the police,” a Eurotunnel spokesperson told BBC. “Then another wave comes, then another, until there is no more police.”

“One group is then able to get through.”

Passengers experienced delays up to two hours as the migrants flooded the tunnel to cross into the U.K., and even when railway operations started up again, passengers were told to expect future delays.

At least 16 migrants have been killed in or near the tunnel since June.

The migrants are willing to risk their lives to enter the U.K. due to the nation’s generous welfare program, but the U.K. isn’t alone: other Western European countries are also giving free housing, food and jobs to migrants, the majority of whom aren’t even from Syria.

A Swedish commercial airliner is even flying migrants directly from the Middle East into Sweden.

“Migrants will be vetted as to their eligibility for asylum status before they fly, although there are innumerable reports of refugees obtaining fake documents to claim they are Syrian,” Paul Joseph Watson reported. “According to the United Nations, only one in five of the refugees leaving the region for Europe are from Syria.”

But now Western Europe is suffering a massive rape epidemic coinciding with the influx of migrants.

“In 1975, 421 rapes were reported to the police [in Sweden]; in 2014, it was 6,620,” a report published by the Gatestone Institute revealed. “That is an increase of 1,472%.”

“Sweden is now number two on the global list of rape countries. According to a survey from 2010, Sweden, with 53.2 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants, is surpassed only by tiny Lesotho in Southern Africa, with 91.6 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants.”

German police and media were even covering up rapes committed by Muslim migrants out of concern they would “legitimize” critics of Germany’s open border policy.

“German media is in lockstep with the government, giving happy-talk and a positive spin on migrant crisis of gigantic proportions hitting Europe,” journalist Vijeta Uniyal wrote. “Mainstream media in Germany are not merely willing executioners of Merkel’s open border policy, they are ideological players committed to breaking any opposition to the plan.”
