If we don’t insist on the total assimilation and Americanization of our immigrants, we’ll cease to be America and become something else.. If you want to know what mass immigration without assimilation produces in a country, look no further than Scotland. Immigrants from Pakistan now constitute an ethno-religious voting bloc in that country with their very own politicians advocating for nakedly sectarian interests. Recently, a video clip from 2022 resurfaced on social media of Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar standing in front of the flag of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan claiming that “change is coming” and forthrightly calling for...

The UK population is set to hit 72.5million by mid-2032 - overtaking France - entirely due to five million-strong net immigration. Official projections show numbers are due to rise from 67.6million in mid-2022, even though deaths will completely offset births. The level of net migration is estimated to average 340,000 per year from mid-2028 onwards - which would be lower than the recent eye-watering record of 906,000. This year the ONS believes the level will be just under 631,000. That suggests there will be net inflows of 4.9million over a decade. The figures also confirm that the UK overtook France...

The last time MPs voted on the question of assisted dying - nearly three quarters were against it. Nine years later - polling suggests two thirds of the country would back a change in the law. That ratio is mirrored in the number of cabinet ministers who've so far publicly declared their position, with 10 for and five against (only nine have obeyed the instruction from Cabinet Secretary Simon Case not to get involved). But the bill's cabinet opponents have made some of the most high-profile interventions in the debate. Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood are...

Israel faces the prospect of a U.S.-backed “color revolution” in the middle of its war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza as the opposition backs street protests against government, and a key cabinet minister has demanded new elections. A “color revolution” is a coup d’état accomplished through mass protests targeting the existing government, elected or not, with the assistance of the media — and, usually, with backing from foreign powers, including the United States. For the six months since the October 7 terror attack, Israel had seen remarkable unity, with protests — mostly centered in Tel Aviv — against Israeli Prime...

The Department of Integration can no longer provide accommodation to all international protection applicants, due to a severe shortage. In a statement this afternoon, a spokesperson for the Department said tents and sleeping bags will be provided to people where required. A total of 107 people were accommodated over the weekend; however, from today, the State is not in a position to accommodate everyone. Women and children will still be accommodated, the spokesperson added. Over 100,000 people are currently being accommodated in Ireland. […] Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, (Lucky) Khambule (from MASI, the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland)...

President Joe Biden’s deputies are asking Congress for $14 billion extra to help bus illegal migrants up to the U.S. border and onward into hotels in many cities and towns around the nation. The request is being touted as “border security” even though very few funds would be used to exclude economic migrants. For example, Biden’s deputies have ushered more than 300,000 economic migrants through the U.S. border in September alone. The 2023 inflow has added up to roughly 2.5 million, not counting legal migrants and temporary workers. Instead, much of the requested money would be used to help more...

Cherbourg, France: Jean Dussine, president of an association for aid to illegal migrants was killed at his home on Tuesday, May 12, by the Afghan he was housing. Mr Dussine and came to the aid of migrants through the Cherbourg association Itinérance, of which he had been the president since 2016. The man was hospitable enough to accommodate a migrant of Afghan origin in his own house in Bretteville-en-Saire. And this infidel was duly rewarded for his kindness. Witnesses said the victim “was sleeping when the Afghan migrant, in his 20s, attacked him with an iron rod. He could not...

While African migrants who came from the southern U.S. border wait at an emergency shelter in Portland, some may be moving on to Canada because of immigration fears. A young girl dances during a performance Wednesday by Pihcintu, a Portland-based African teen singing group, at the emergency shelter for asylum seekers at the Portland Expo. Derek Davis/Staff Photographer The number of African asylum seekers sheltering at the Portland Expo has begun to drop as some families move on – including to Canada, according to an immigrant community leader who said the new arrivals fear U.S. immigration officials will arrest them...

Chancellor Angela Merkel joined dozens of young people of immigrant background in Berlin on Tuesday to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Germany’s Basic Law, or constitution. The event was hosted by Deutschlandstiftung Integration (DSI), a foundation that in 2012 founded the Geh Deinen Weg (“Go Your Way”) program to help young and ambitious people of immigrant background find a way into the German job market. The purpose of the event was to highlight the connection between the Basic Law and the lives of those of immigrant background in Germany. Many of the dignitaries who spoke at the event quoted the...

Vatican envoy urges media to end ‘cherry-picking’ migration news ROME - As the Vatican delegation prepares to arrive at a UN global summit on migration set to take place in Morocco this week, one of Rome’s major players on the UN scene told Crux the proposed agreement is basically good news for the Church’s concerns even if certain “tensions” remain.Slovenian Archbishop Ivan Jurkovič, Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in Geneva, wrote in a Dec. 9 email that many of the points presented by the Holy See “have been positively reflected in the...

"We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples, as well as a different understanding of society and law." — From a leaked German intelligence document. "We need to be clear that there must be limits and quotas for immigration -- we cannot save the whole world." — Markus Söder, Finance Minister of Bavaria. "The migration crisis has the potential to destabilize governments, countries and the whole European continent. ... What we have been facing is not a refugee crisis. This is a migratory movement composed of economic migrants, refugees and also foreign fighters" —...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising to continue to welcome Syrian refugees and to strengthen the Muslim community’s involvement in politics. In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which aired last week, Trudeau said that “Canada is benefiting from welcoming in people who are so deeply committed to living up to the opportunity given to them.” […] Trudeau, who heads the Liberal party, also encouraged Muslims in Canada to join the Conservative party and other parties in Canada “to make sure that no party gets to run against Muslim Canadians or any other group of Canadians and demonize...

May God ward off the impending darkness and bless, protect and save our Republic! My fellow Americans, I would confidently submit that at this truly pivotal point in our nation’s history and just prior to our crucially important national elections of 2016, it is impossible to overestimate the level and extent of the internal and external threats facing our country. Now, just two hundred and forty years after our Declaration of Independence, it’s also impossible to overstate the staggering amount of harm, damage and injury inflicted on our nation by the increasing number of radical left wing extremists euphemistically referred...

The British Broadcasting Service (BBC) – a public broadcaster funded by a “TV licence” fee forced on UK television owners – has declared that resistance to Shariah law is “Islamophobic”. According to a news clip, BBC online coverage, and the comments of its reporter Catrin Nye, a man called “Paul” approached a BBC film crew while recording an interview with Islam campaigner Ruqaiya Haris. Ms. Haris, a Muslim activist and student at the School of Oriental and African Studies, is told by Paul, “There’s no Sharia law here”. Her and Ms. Nye’s reactions to the statement made freely in...

The Israeli government is considering a proposal to build an artificial island off the Gaza Strip that a top official says would give Palestinians living in the besieged enclave their one and only seaport — and maybe a hotel and an international airport, too. The Israeli minister of intelligence who is promoting the plan, Israel Katz, said the Jewish state is actively seeking financial partners for the $5 billion project. Katz mentioned the Saudis and Chinese as possible builders of the port — or maybe a mysterious Israeli entrepreneur. He declined to name names. ... He said the plan is...

America can still avoid sharing Europe’s fate. But only if we take action. Because of what Europe has become, it now has few viable choices in dealing with radical Islamic terrorism. Its dilemma is a warning to Americans that we should turn away from a similar path of national suicide. After suffering serial terrorist attacks from foreign nationals and immigrants, a normal nation-state would be expected to make extraordinary efforts to close its borders and redefine its foreign policy in order to protect its national interests. But a France or a Belgium is not quite a sovereign nation any more,...

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is calling for a federal investigation into whether the nation's largest Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), has ties to terrorism. In a policy proposal released on Tuesday outlining his call for a declaration of war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Carson said the State Department must investigate the Washington-based nonprofit group as an alleged "supporter of terrorism." "The Department of State should designate the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations that propagate or support Islamic terrorism as terrorist organizations, and fully investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations as...

Political correctness kills. That’s the lesson that keeps coming to the fore from the San Bernardino terror massacre on 2 December. Philip Haney, a former senior analyst at the Department of Homeland Security, has now come forward to say that in 2012, he was running an effort at the National Targeting Center that would “very plausibly” have flagged Syed Farook – and probably, by association, his bride Tashfeen Malik – because of Farook’s connection with a mosque in San Bernardino, California. (H/t: Daily Caller) But after six months (in 2012), decision-makers in DHS and the State Department shut the effort...
