I think the evidence of mass emigration from White European countries in the recent past does enough to prove her point wrong.

This is clearly an aside from TFA, but what are you talking about? Europe has had mass immigration recently, not emigration.

Pretty sure GP means the mass emigration of Europeans to North America in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

What does this have to do with the article? People (all people) fled violence, hunger and death that came from a series of conflicts so dire that some populations haven't fully recovered still.

Add to that incredible amounts of political violence at the dawn of the 20th century, and you have the immigration flows. Similar thing happened when the Soviet block collapsed and economic/political strife spilled out.
