Portugal announces the expulsion of 18,000 foreigners ahead of a national election

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal’s caretaker government plans to expel some 18,000 foreigners living in the country without authorization, a minister said Saturday in the buildup to a national election.

Minister of the Presidency António Leitão Amaro said the center-right government will issue approximately 18,000 notifications to people in the country illegally to leave. The minister said officials will begin next week by asking some 4,500 foreigners to leave voluntarily within 20 days.

Portugal will hold an early general election on May 18. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro called the snap ballot in March after his minority government led by his conservative Social Democratic Party lost a confidence vote in Parliament and stood down.

Portugal has been caught up in the rising European tide of populism, with its far-right Chega party surging into third place in last year’s election.

The most "right-wing nationalist" parties in all of Europe would rate as moderate left-wing socialists in comparison with American political groups.

Words over there might sound the same as words we use, but they can have very different meanings. "Conservative" is one those words.

Perhaps we might permanently deport the Washington DC federal court and the entire 9th Circuit to Portugal so they can handle the deportation cases in Lisbon!

That would be the equivalent of 571,000 being deported from America.

" Portugal’s caretaker government plans to expel some 18,000 foreigners living in the country without authorization,"

Amazing!
Who could have believed that illegal migrants could be kicked out of the country they invaded?

A drop in the bucket. The socialists allowed 1.5 million “immigrants” into the country, almost 20% of the native population, while a lot of the skilled natives emigrated to other countries. Most of the immigrants are from Brazil and former African colonies, so at least they speak Portuguese.

Some leftist business associates I worked with moved to Portugal under Trump 45 …. snubbing their noses at me.

What a laugh if populism sends them back for an ear and mouthful of Trump 47.
