The Sudanese suspect in the Belfast knife attack used a backdoor route into Britain popular with migrants seeking to sneak into the country. The Telegraph revealed last year how people smugglers were exploiting the soft border between Britain and Ireland to bring illegal migrants into the UK. Albanian gangs were charging £4,000 to traffic the migrants to Britain through the "backdoor" provided by the Common Travel Area (CTA) between Ireland and Britain. The CTA is a long-standing open borders zone comprising the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. Established in the 1920s, it allows British and...

The State Department is dismantling birth tourism networks across Africa and Europe, officials announced on Wednesday. An estimated 33,000 United States-born children are rewarded birthright American citizenship annually solely because their foreign parents arrived in the United States on a temporary visa, often a tourist visa, before they were born. Decades later, those American-born children can sponsor their parents for green cards. The birth tourism industry is widespread among Turkish nationals in New York City, Chinese nationals in California, Russian nationals in Florida, and Middle Easterners in Illinois. State Department officials said in a series of X posts they have...

Worshippers at Glasgow’s largest mosque were locked in as tensions flared following a stabbing in Northern Ireland, with police saying people were “attacked because of the colour of their skin”. Three men, one aged 31 and the others aged 18, were arrested on Wednesday in Scotland’s largest city following the unrest, in which three members of the public and two police officers were hurt, Police Scotland said. Protesters took to the streets in several parts of Scotland, including Glasgow city centre, with some of those involved invoking the memory of murdered 18-year-old Henry Nowak, with one banner saying “white lives...

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is reportedly being prepared to run for president in 2028 by former President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, who also worked with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra on their respective campaigns. Sources familiar with the matter told Politico’s Playbook this week that Khanna has caught the attention of Ron Klain, an attorney who was an appointee of former President Barack Obama as the White House Ebola Response Coordinator. Klain, who was named Biden’s chief of staff after working as a senior adviser on his 2020 campaign, is now a...

This week, the House Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing detailing how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) helped facilitate and benefited from the historic Biden-Harris border crisis, as well as how far-left NGOs are still working to help inadmissible aliens undermine federal immigration law under the Trump administration. In the hearing, witnesses laid out in detail how NGOs received more than $6 billion from the Biden-Harris administration, including through grants from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and others. They also testified about how the Biden-Harris administration handed over unaccompanied alien children (UACs)...

While Alan Milburn was busy insisting that Britain's youth worklessness crisis has nothing to do with immigration, a think tank quietly published figures that told a very different story. According to the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), which was set up by former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith, 27 young non-EU migrants have been hired for every one young British worker since 2020. In other words, while the number of non-EU under-25s on UK payrolls has risen by 290,000 since the start of the decade, the number of young Britons employed increased by just 11,000 over the same...

The murder of Henry Nowak at the hands of a protected minority -- and the police -- has become the spark that set Britain ablaze. It’s ironic how the lies related to George Floyd’s death led to murder in Great Britain. They will probably finally lead to the ouster of Keir Starmer and the ravaging of the UK’s Labour Party which bought those lies and capitalized on them. In Sussex, England (undoubtedly as in most of the country, as daily examples of two-tier British justice appear in X daily), a concerted brainwashing (“ideological conditioning” in JD Vance’s more polite terms)...

British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has said that not all ethnic groups should be treated the same by police in the wake of the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who died in police handcuffs after officers refused to believe he had been stabbed by a Sikh man. Lammy, who also serves as the left-wing Labour Party government’s Justice Secretary, said that while the “starting point” should be equality before the law, it is not always appropriate to be treated “the same”, noting the disproportionate arrest rates of certain ethnic minority groups, such as Roma travelers [Gypsies] and black Britons....

Vice President JD Vance has spoken out against “the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants” in the United Kingdom after the brutal death of student Henry Nowak, the second U.S. intervention on “civilisational decline” in Britain in 24 hours. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer attempted to kick back against the President Donald Trump Administration and American concern for the country’s descent into chaos on Friday night, characterising comments from Washington as political interference and even an attempt to “stir up division on our streets”. U.S. Vice President JD Vance made one of the present Trump Administration’s...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urged European leaders on Saturday to remain vigilant against the threat of what he described as “dangerous ideologies” coming to the continent, invoking the lessons of D-Day to warn about modern-day immigration. “In the years since these beaches, much of the West, in some places, in some quarters, and in some capitals grew comfortable, we forgot that freedom is not free,” Hegseth said during remarks at Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. The Pentagon secretary was in France to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy during WWII, which ultimately enabled the U.S....

A federal judge in Rhode Island has struck down a Trump administration executive order that suspended all asylum decisions and stopped visa issuance to people from Afghanistan, alongside an additional 38 other countries. The order came shortly after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members just blocks from the White House, killing one.

Net migration could be as much as 50,000 higher than estimated because thousands of foreign migrants may not have left the UK, official figures suggest. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has admitted that it “assumes” that more than 50,000 non-EU and EU migrants have left the UK at the end of their visas, even though it does not have accurate data to confirm their departures. Its own research has found some of these people “might still be in the UK” and this means that its current method for calculating net migration “would incorrectly emigrate them”. Some of these could...

This week, the Department of Homeland Security announced a new effort to crack down on asylum fraud — by going after the lawyers who enable it. DHS will be imposing civil fines on attorneys who file bogus and frivolous protection applications on behalf of their alien clients.

Between the falling birth rates, chain migration, anchor babies, and the planned demographic changes by our social engineers, non-whites will be the majority by 2050 or sooner if Democrats get back into office. They would open the borders again. There is no reason to think otherwise. If you think they will be nice to white people, you are sadly mistaken. For some reason, Democrats decided white people can’t have their own country. Possibly, it’s because they see them all as future Democrats they can manipulate due to their neediness.

(Council Bluffs) -- At least one fatality accident occurred in KMAland over the Memorial Day weekend. The Iowa State Patrol says 60-year-old Donald D. Marks of Missouri Valley was killed in a two-vehicle accident on northbound Interstate 29 near 25th Street in Council Bluffs late Monday afternoon. Authorities say Marks' 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup was struck by a 2014 Volvo semi driven by 26-year-old Nilufar Makhmudova of Maineville, Ohio. The patrol says Marks' vehicle was stationary for unknown reasons in the traveled portion of the right lane at the time of the accident. Marks was pronounced dead at the...

A new report from the Government Accountability Office found that the Biden administration released nearly 90 percent of migrants encountered at the southern border through parole authority at the height of its catch-and-release policies.The report details how the Department of Homeland Security under former President Joe Biden and then-DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas dramatically expanded the use of “humanitarian parole” between early 2021 and Jan. 20, 2025.According to the GAO, parole authority had previously been used sparingly by presidential administrations before Biden took office.“Specifically, our analysis showed that OFO and Border Patrol granted relatively few paroles during fiscal years 2019 and...

In 2020, journalist Matthew Yglesias insisted we use increased immigration to grow the U.S. population to one billion. Our current 343-million number is insufficient to compete with a future China and India, his theory goes. Yet before we MACA — “Make America China Already!” — we should first ask a question: “What’s So Bad About a Stable Population?”

The cities, which are all run by Democrats, have refused to work with the White House in its...

Hundreds of thousands of migrants are scrambling to secure British citizenship for themselves and their families before any immigration restrictions come into place in what outlets are describing as evidence of the consequences of the “Boriswave” post-Brexit mass migration wave. The surge has seen a record-breaking amount of more than 312,000 migrants apply for citizenship between March 2025 and 2026 — 20 percent higher than the roughly 263,400 documented in the previous period. The over 312,000 citizenship applications filed over the past year represent the highest amount on record and double the rate documented eight years ago by the Home...
