Bishop Eleganti: Islam poses ‘very serious’ danger to the West“Globalism has already failed” and the crisis of predominantly Muslim migration is leading to a point of “no return”, Bishop Marian Eleganti has declared. The former auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Chur is one of a handful of prelates who publicly denounces Islam and the concept of modern migration into the West, and has regularly linked the demographic crisis in the West to the crisis of immigration simultaneously affecting Europe. Interviewed recently by La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, Eleganti warned that the Catholic Church “should not take an idealistic approach on...

🇺🇸 27,000 illegal immigrants deported last week, 3,600 every single day, and 69,000 more locked up right now. The U.S. is on pace for 1.4 million deportations this year alone. No drama, all quick hits... Even blue cities are quietly handing them over. Writer: Val x.com/bennyjohnson/s…

A hurdle to adding the final country to the list of temporary protected status terminations has been eliminated as the Trump administration continues to crack down on immigration, with refugee numbers at a record low.A Boston judge, Brian Murphy, lifted a final administrative stay, ending TPS for over 5,000 Ethiopians in the U.S. under the program, marking the 13th country with TPS status to be terminated in President Donald Trump’s second term.Those countries include Afghanistan, Burma, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security argued in a social media...

Move along, folks, move along; nothing to see here. Just a few noncitizens voting in our federal elections. The Democrats say we don’t need the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID, and that such things never happen, so we should be fine. The Census Bureau reported Tuesday that they’re partially done poring through the 2020 election data, and they’ve so far identified 24,000 noncitizen voters. Wait, what?! That doesn’t sound safe, legal, or rare. If the percentage continues at the same rate as they count the rest, that number could eventually rise to 30,000 votes that should not...

Transcript of the YouTube Short “This Will UNITE America. ” by Benny Johnson: [Woman speaking] I don’t know if you’ve noticed as of late there is an influx of Madaguchi people in my comment section. And guess what? I’m not going to let off the neck of a Somalian because if I see a Somalian, nine times out of 10 you are connected to fraud. You’re in Canada, you’re in the UK, you’re predominantly in Minneapolis. And what’s happening in Minneapolis right now? A bunch of scamming. You guys come to this country try to demean black Americans like we...

Immigration arrests of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in California increased more than tenfold in the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, according to a new analysis by the USC Equity Research Institute.

What if the Migrant Invasion of Ceuta Is Only the Beginning? Considering Spain’s late response and the EU’s vain squabbling, there is every reason to worry that the migrant invasion of Ceuta will happen again.When people saw the videos of a horde of North African migrants storming the Spanish-held peninsula of Ceuta, many immediately recalled a famous scene from the film World War Z where a horde of zombies mount a border wall and flood one of the last remaining uninfected cities. Here was a real-life violent invasion of heedless military-aged men stampeding through a small, vulnerable Spanish town, resulting...

Priest says migrants who swarmed Spanish city are ‘saints’Prominent Spanish priest Fr. Ángel García said the Moroccan migrants who stormed Spain’s border are ‘not causing any disturbances’ and downplayed the death and destruction due to the surge.Father Ángel García, the founder of the Messengers of Peace, told reporters that the mass influx of migrants who illegally crossed into Spanish territory from Morocco last week are “saints.”Speaking to reporters following a meeting with the mayor-president of the small, autonomous Spanish city of Ceuta, García called the 50,000–60,000 migrants who rushed into the Spanish territory between July 30–31 “saints,” per Spanish media....

Firm in the belief that immigration enforcement is bad for business, Southwest Airlines is pushing back hard against efforts to detain illegal immigrants at U.S. airports, according to a new report. A report from The Wall Street Journal highlights a July 25 incident in which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to board a Southwest Airlines jet in Dallas. The agent was prevented from carrying out his duties by the airline, the outlet reported. Dallas-based Southwest staff also refused to share passenger information with ICE. The Wall Street Journal cited a source it did not name as saying that...

Milton Friedman said we can't have free immigration and a welfare state He was wrong Turns out that if you create pathways for illegal immigrants to vote, then actually, 100% of the time you INEVITABLY end up with both a welfare state and free immigration Because incentives determine actions Whichever politicians realize they can essentially use taxpayer dollars to fund welfare to import voters will exploit this hack ruthlessly 1. Offer welfare 2. Allow illegal immigration 3. Let illegal immigrants vote (they will 100% of the time vote for more welfare) 4. Win office 5. Raise taxes, offer more welfare,...

On Monday, the latest video dropped, exposing the cruelty and calculation of former Biden Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra in his oversight of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). But instead of whistleblower testimony, this new release is from an alleged victim of the system that Becerra built. These large-scale refugee ORR encampments were the brainchild of then-HHS Secretary Becerra, who is running against Republican Steve Hilton for the California governorship, and Becerra has bragged about the operation, comparing the farming of minors through the facility as an "assembly line."As RedState reported, Hilton has been releasing these...

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is arresting, on average, about 1,500 illegal aliens every day throughout American communities, a report released Monday suggests. The CBS News report states that the figures are based on internal documents not yet disclosed to the public, detailing “a summer enforcement surge” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that has seen more than 46,000 illegal aliens taken into the agency’s custody in July. “An average of 1,500 detainees entered ICE custody each day last month, the data indicates, though some of them were first arrested by Customs and Border Protection agents,” CBS...

"Immigration reform” is the polite label they use when they want to legalize people who entered illegally and call it compassion. Enforcement always comes “later.” Later never arrives. You don’t hire a fire chief who keeps talking about better ways to negotiate with the arsonists. You hire the one who puts the fire out. Putting the “reform” guy in charge of deportations is a reliable system for ensuring you lose. Not a conspiracy. Just pattern recognition."

Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has called for an urgent meeting of EU interior ministers after what he called some member states’ “selfish, polarising and unlawful reaction” to this week’s mass border crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, in north Africa. More than 50,000 people crossed into the territory from Morocco on Thursday and Friday, with at least 67 people dying in the attempt. Some drowned, while others were crushed as they tried to cross a breakwater barrier. Although more than 48,000 people had voluntarily returned to Morocco by 6pm on Friday, the influx triggered a political crisis for...

LOS ANGELES - Javier Ramirez was handcuffed in the back of an unmarked car, bruised and confused, when immigration agents used a word he had never heard before. It was June 2025, and they were bragging about the raids in the Los Angeles area that swept up hundreds of immigrants - and a few U.S. citizens, like Ramirez. The unfamiliar word caught Ramirez's ear.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not planning an aggressive campaign at voting sites during the upcoming midterm elections, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday in response to a States Newsroom inquiry about a letter from U.S. Senate Democrats voicing concerns about armed federal agents at polling places.ICE, an agency within DHS that has sustained intense criticism since the start of the second Trump administration for its aggressive and sometimes deadly tactics, has no plans to target polling sites in November, a DHS official told States Newsroom in an email.The official left open the possibility, though, that...

NEW: President Trump reacts to the massive migrant surge overwhelming Ceuta, Spain, warning it could happen in America. "It's terrible. Remember that picture. That's going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in," Trump tells Fox News' @JacquiHeinrich, referring to Democrats winning elections. Spain is deploying its military after tens of thousands of migrants overwhelmed the North African enclave of Ceuta, with officials confirming at least 18 people died during the crossings. Trump adds: "If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life."

About 60,000 migrants have crossed into Spain's North African territory of Ceuta from Morocco in the last 24 hours, Ceuta's president says. At least 34 people have died during the crossing, Juan Jesús Vivas said during a news conference. The influx comes after Spain's Supreme Court ruled this month that migrants stopped at sea while trying to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another Spanish exclave, cannot be summarily returned to Morocco. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez described the situation as an "attack" and said the government was working to return all illegal migrants to Morocco "as soon as possible". Several European leaders...
