The GOP governor of Ohio and many pro-migration media outlets insist the federal government’s huge Haitian migration into the city of Springfield is legal. “They are there legally,” Gov. Mike DeWine wrote in a September 20, op-ed for the New York Times. “I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield.” Springfield GOP Mayor “[Rob] Rue reminded me — and as Trump and Vance refuse to acknowledge — the Haitians who have come to Springfield are here legally,” Washington Post op-ed writer Eugene Robinson wrote on...

The failed policy of accepting unchecked mass migration has wrecked the social fabric of the United Kingdom, leading to the emergence of the ‘grooming gangs’ and the explosion of sexual violence rates. Sure enough, not all rapes or sexual assaults in Britain are linked to the invasion of illegals from cultures that are not assimilating, but the two phenomena sure are developing in parallel. BBC reported: “A rape offense is reported every hour in London, according to data obtained by the BBC. More than 8,800 rape incidents were reported to the Metropolitan Police in 2023 – an average of 24...

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says the nation’s unemployment rate is being raised by Alejandro Mayorkas’ huge inflow of migrants. The statement acknowledges the extraordinary political power accumulated by the Cuban-born Secretary of Homeland Security. Mayorkas’ ability to raise and lower the migration rate makes him the nation’s de facto “Labor Czar” and gives him extraordinary influence over Americans’ employment rates, wages and housing, and even their interest rates. Mayorkas insists he has the legal power to set blue-collar and white-collar immigration rates as he sees fit, regardless of migration numbers set by Congress in 1990, or the wishes of...

It is a common historical myth that Rome fell in 476 A.D. after Odoacer, King of the Goths, sacked the capital city and forced Romulus Augustus to abdicate his throne.The historical reality is rather different. Over the course of nearly a century, Germanic tribes – fleeing everything from war, famine and tribal politics – moved, unimpeded, into Roman territory. And the Empire died not by traditional invasion but by unchecked mass migration.During this period, Rome was ruled by a disaffected elite. Rather than send out a legion or two to kick some culus and take nomen, they decided it would...

Americans’ auto-insurance rates are rising rapidly because President Joe Biden’s migration policy puts millions of new migrants on the road, often without driver training or English language lessons. Federal data shows that monthly auto insurance rates rose by roughly 8.3 percent under President Donald Trump, but by 20 percent under President Joe Biden and his pro-immigration vice President, Kamala Harris. That 20 percent jump adds up to an annual $500 “tax” on Americans’ pocketbooks. PPI industry data for Direct property and casualty insurers–Private passenger auto insurance, not seasonally adjusted (Bureau of Labor Statistics)Since 2021, Biden has imported roughly 10 million...

Ladies and gentlemen, over the weekend, we saw the results of a fascinating social experiment involving 20,000 illegals from Haiti that have swarmed one Ohio town like locusts. (Because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sent them there.)

Kamala Harris will be better for Wall Street investors because she will import more low-wage legal and illegal migrants from around the world, according to Goldman Sachs, a New York investment firm. The choice was admitted in a September 3 report, titled “The Election and the Economy: Estimating Immigration, trade and Fiscal Effects”: If Harris wins, we expect that net immigration will continue [at] 1.5mn [million] per year, somewhat above the pre-pandemic trend of 1mn [legal immigrants]. If Trump wins with divided government, we expect net immigration will fall to 1.25mn. If Republicans sweep, Congress could increase enforcement resources, and...

Vice President Kamala Harris should promise to grow the U.S. economy by importing more migrant workers, consumers, and renters, according to a pro-migration op-ed writer at the Washington Post. “Legal immigration is a critical component of economic growth and solvency for our entitlement programs,” columnist Jennifer Rubin declared on August 27. “There is no shortage of good ideas, ranging from dropping outdated country caps to granting foreign STEM graduates green cards to clearing the green-card backlog to increased visas for seasonal workers,” Rubin added, without acknowledging the alternative strategy of growing the economy by raising Americans’ productivity.

Five people have been injured, three of them critically, in a stabbing on a bus in the western German city of Siegen, police say. A 32-year-old female suspect has been arrested, police said. Another person suffered serious injuries, it said. At least 40 people were on the bus travelling to a city festival in Siegen, located 75km east of Cologne, when the attack occurred at about 7.40pm on Friday (local time), according to the statement.

Dividends have begun to pay off for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s migration strategy as figures have shown a near-two-thirds reduction of illegal arrivals over last year. Statistics released this week by the Italian Interior Ministry showed that 41,530 illegal immigrants landed on the country’s coasts since the start of the year. While still historically high, the figure represents a 64 per cent decline over the same period last year, when 114,513 were recorded reaching Italian beaches amid a massive wave of illegals pouring across the Mediterranean from North Africa, particularly Tunisia. The figures also show a drop compared to...

Unchecked mass immigration has radically transformed and destabilized the author's home country; America should take heed. Close your eyes and picture Ireland. You’re probably imagining lush green fields, charming villages, and thatched cottages. Now, open your eyes and acknowledge reality. Nearly one in five people living in Ireland wasn’t born there. In Galway, a city that’s a stone’s throw from where I grew up, Muhammad recently surpassed Michael and Martin as the most popular name for newborn boys. That’s right — Muhammad, a name synonymous with Islamic tradition. This is not the Ireland you know or thought you knew. It’s...

A mother who attended Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday with her child narrowly avoided being killed after she was stabbed, the Metropolitan Police has said. The 32-year-old remains in a critical condition in hospital. Issuing an update on Monday morning, the Met said two men had also been stabbed at the west London street festival on Sunday. A 29-year-old has non life-threatening injuries, while a 24-year-old discharged himself after receiving hospital treatment. No arrests have been made in relation to the three stabbings. About 100 arrests have been made for a range of offences including violence with injury, sexual offences...

Blades are carving up the Big Apple. Stabbings and slashings across the city this year spiked 6% to 3,582 incidents through Aug. 11, up from 3,370 during the same period time last year, according to NYPD data requested by The Post. So far this year, 60 people have died by the blade — an 11% surge from the 54 in 2023. “There’s no reason for so much crime to go on,” Alton Scott, a veteran MTA conductor who needed 34 stitches to close a gruesome neck wound after being slashed in March, told The Post. In May, 17-year-old Sarah Rivera...

The first day of London’s annual Notting Hill Carnival saw at least 38 arrests, multiple knives seized, and a man stabbed, prompting police to enact stop and search powers. Notting Hill Carnival, the two-day multicultural Afro-Caribbean street party dating back to the 1960s, once again experienced an outbreak of violence as the festivities began on Sunday. At the time of this reporting, London’s Metropolitan Police said that they made 38 arrests and recovered four knives. In a statement, the police force said that a man believed to be in his 20s was stabbed, though thankfully his injuries are said to...

A 15-year-old was arrested Saturday in connection with a knife attack at a festival in Germany that left three people dead and several others hurt, authorities said. The suspect had been on the run for hours following Friday’s bloodshed in Solingen. Authorities could not rule out a “terrorist” motive, noting multiple knives were found, Police Chief Markus Röhrl said. The attacker specifically targeted victims’ throats and necks, Röhrl added.

A Jordanian man living in Florida has been arrested for causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to a solar energy facility and damaging multiple businesses over their perceived support for Israel, the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Middle District of Florida announced on Thursday. Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen, 43, is accused of breaking the front doors of multiple businesses in a rampage in June. He wore a mask while committing the vandalism and left behind warning letters stating his intention to “destroy or explode everything here in whole America. Especially the companies and factories that support the racist...

Both suspects in a foiled plot to attack Taylor Swift shows in Vienna appeared to be inspired by the Islamic State group and al-Qaida, Austrian authorities said Thursday, and investigators found bomb-making materials at one of their homes. Officials said one of the two confessed to planning to “kill as many people as possible outside the concert venue.” Three sold-out concerts were canceled a day earlier because of the plot, devastating Swifties from across the globe. Many of them had dropped thousands of euros (dollars) on travel and lodging in Austria’s expensive capital city to attend the Eras Tour shows...

Sprinter Rhasidat Adeleke will represent Ireland at the Paris Olympics in the 400m athletics events from August 5. The national athletics record holder has suffered a torrent of racial abuse online. But this has not discouraged her from aiming to become the first Irish woman athlete to secure a gold medal in athletics.

Concern for public safety and raw emotion are running high after a mass stabbing of young children in the United Kingdom, with the Prime Minister being heckled by the public over knife crime as he laid a wreath for the dead. Three children were killed and a dozen other children and adults were seriously injured in a mass stabbing attack at a youngster’s summer holiday dance party in Southport, Merseyside, England, on Monday. The Home Secretary visited Southport on Tuesday morning, and hours later she was followed by Britain’s new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, who met first responders and...
