Camp Of The Saints

Rishi Sunak has pledged to push for reform of global refugee rules as he warned that failing to tackle illegal migration would “destroy the public’s faith” in politicians and governments.

In a speech in Italy, the Prime Minister said that insufficient action would lead to growing numbers which will “overwhelm our countries and our capacity to help those who need our help most.”

He also warned that malign states were deliberately “driving people to our shores to try and destabilise our societies.”

At the centre of Rishi Sunak’s plan to stop illegal migration is ‘deterrence.’ His flagship policy, the ‘Rwanda Plan,’ is set up to “deter people taking perilous journeys across the channel” by making them believe they won’t be able to stay in Britain. Yet those who visit the migrant camp in Calais know this is a “far-fetched threat” since crossers believe “they’ll [n]ever be deported to Rwanda.”

Figures released today show there is a strong grounding for this belief. Since 2020, just 1%—one percent—of migrants who arrived in Britain illegally on small boats have been deported.

Europe is in turmoil over the mass migration policies of the EU elites. Migration has become a dominant, divisive issue across the European Union from eastern Germany to southern Italy—and in the UK.

Geert Wilders’ populist PVV party shocked the Brussels ‘bubble’ by finishing first in November’s Dutch elections, after pledging to cut “the asylum and immigration flood to the Netherlands” and ban mosques and Islamic schools. In the same month Dublin was convulsed by riots, sparked by the stabbing of three Irish schoolchildren and a woman by an Algerian-born knifeman. Meanwhile, nervous European cities have witnessed angry pro-Hamas protests by Islamist migrants, aided and abetted by their useful idiots on the Islamoleft.

The German Ministry of the Interior has proposed a draft amendment to its Residency Act to redefine what constitutes human trafficking into the EU—a move which could criminalize the work of ‘search and rescue’ NGOs operating on the Mediterranean Sea, EU Observer wrote.

Existing German laws already prohibit facilitating irregular entries into the EU for the sake of financial gain or personal advantage, which means NGOs can ferry migrants from the Libyan and Tunisian shores to Europe under the term ‘rescue’ unobstructed.

Illegal migrants living large in taxpayer-funded hotels in Britain are raking in thousands in untaxed income while working for online food delivery firms, an investigation claims.

After crossing the English Channel in small boats from France and being put up in hotels throughout the UK at taxpayer’s expense, migrants are earning up to £1,500 per month as drivers for delivery services like Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and Just Eat.

After 25 years in the political wilderness, Dutch anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party doubled its vote and came in first in Holland’s parliamentary elections. In Ireland, a man of Algerian origin allegedly stabbed three school children in central Dublin. Hundreds of young people rioted, chanting “get them out” with one man waving a sign: “Irish Lives Matter.” Thursday, Finland closes all eight of its eastern border crossings, accusing Russia of sending this month 1,000 undocumented migrants, largely from Africa and the Middle East.

British money sent to France to stop illegal migrant crossings was spent on microwaves, phone chargers and vacuum cleaners, it has emerged.

Some of the funding was also spent on guarding the French border with Italy, which is about 550 miles away from the English Channel.

France has failed to stop more than half of all migrants trying to make the illegal Channel crossing since 2018, according to a freedom of information request by the Politico website.
