New York school children have complained they are being forced to walk past ‘Venezuelan prostitutes’ in broad daylight, with their neighborhood likened to a Bangkok ‘red-light district’.
High schoolers told how they encounter sex workers ‘virtually on every block’ of the route along the Jackson Heights-Corona border.
Jalene Lugo, 14, said she passed several provocatively dressed women in a doorway on 93rd Street earlier this week and not for the first time.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has admitted that “too many people are coming” into the country illegally and vowed to begin deportations on a “large scale” as Germany is on pace to see more illegal migrants enter the country than during the European Migrant Crisis of 2016.
AHMEDABAD: Diplomatic ties between India and Canada may have turned frosty, but those aiming for the backdoor route to the US through the North American country are anything but freezing in their tracks.
Data from US Customs and Border Protection shows that of the 8,076 Indians arrested for entering the country illegally through various routes in September – coinciding with the row over Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accusing Indian agencies of having a hand in terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing – 3,059 were caught on the US-Canada border.

OTTAWA – A newly released memo shows federal officials warned last spring that expanding a bilateral refugee pact to the entire Canada-U.S. border would likely fuel smuggling networks and encourage people to seek more dangerous, remote crossing routes.
Officials feared the development would also strain RCMP resources as irregular migrants dispersed more widely across the vast border.
The April memo, made public by Public Safety Canada through the Access to Information Act, was prepared in advance of a Cross-Border Crime Forum meeting with American representatives.
“This could lead to the dissolution of the European Union!” The “this” in Josep Borrell’s jeremiad is the issue of immigration, which the man in charge of the EU’s foreign policy identifies as an existential threat. Immigration is one of those wedge issues designed to split the electorate into conflictual constituencies while diverting attention from the here-and-now problems for which an increasingly clueless ruling elite seems to have no solutions.
The Left hopes for cross-breeding, a mix of race and culture. But there is no crossbreeding, there is ethnic-religious conquest.
The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said that “immigration could put an end to the European Union”, only to later add that due to demographic suicide Europe needs more immigration. Borrell said: “The demographic evolution of Europe shows that we need new blood and it does not appear that this blood comes from our ability to procreate.”
12.000 “new blood” persona just landed in Lampedusa, Italy.
The European Parliament’s leftist majority continued to downplay the security risks brought by the mass influx of illegal migration during Wednesday’s key plenary debate on the Migration Pact in Strasbourg (October 4th), with some going as far as laughing when conservatives presented Europe’s worsening crime statistics.
Reaching an agreement on the EU’s flagship Asylum and Migration Pact is without doubt currently the highest priority on Brussels’ agenda as all institutions are racing to get it done in the next few months or risk losing grip of it altogether amid next year’s European elections.
On October 3, 2013, one of the worst migrant boat shipwrecks took place off the coast of the southern Italian island of Lampedusa as people smugglers led an estimated 360 people or more to their deaths. This week, groups from across Europe came to the island to commemorate the tragedy.
Organised by the October 3 Committee, an Italian NGO formed after the 2013 massacre, a four-day event entitled “A Europe of Rights” was held on Lampedusa from September 30th to October 3rd, the anniversary of the shipwreck.
The European Union is planning a major reform of its asylum laws. The measures, a response to a sudden inflow of asylum-seekers, include making it possible to extend the period during which refugees can be detained at the external borders and applying strict immigration criteria to include more individuals.
In Germany, the environmentalist Greens are the most migration-friendly party in government and oppose tough restrictions. But Chancellor Olaf Scholz, of the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) has put his foot down and decided that Germany would not veto the EU plans.
At the opening of the Hungarian parliament’s autumn session, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a grim speech where he, among other things, spoke of the relentless assault on nearly all flanks of the European Union’s external borders by illegal migrants, and underscored migrants’ increasing willingness to use violence.
There is a yawning gap between the irenic aspirations defended by the Pope and the painful day-to-day reality of European citizens who have to absorb the migratory flow.
Pope Francis has just completed a few days’ visit to Marseille for the third “Rencontres Méditerranéennes”. The aim of this mediatised visit was for the Pope to promote an unconditional welcome for migrants—a highly political message that was not always well received.
Pope Francis had announced his intentions ahead of his visit: he was coming “to Marseille, not to France.” It was a way for him to emphasise that he was not coming for a simple protocol visit to meet French Catholics and their leaders—in which case he would certainly have gone to Paris—but that he intended to place the Mediterranean, the site of the migratory battle in Europe, at the centre of his communication.
Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni has sent a letter to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stating that she was “astonished” by Berlin’s recently announced initiative to finance pro-migration NGOs operating in the Mediterranean and in southern Italy, accusing him of deepening the crisis instead of cooperating to solve it, Il Giornale reported on Monday, September 25th.
Meloni’s complaint was sent to Berlin after Germany’s social-democratic government announced last Friday that it would finance two NGOs—including the rescue charity SOS Humanity—with up to €790,000 each to continue and expand their work.
France’s appetite to accommodate the never-ending torrent of illegal migration flowing into their country appears to have soured. While the state has introduced border controls along the Italian border, turning away some 200 migrants each day, a new poll has found that nearly 70% of the French population supports a military blockade in the Mediterranean Sea to stop the influx.
It is eight years now since The Spectator sent me to Lampedusa to see the boats coming in. That was at the start of the 2015 migrant crisis. The island, which is home to just 6,000 locals, had just buckled under the weight of another 1,300 arrivals. I followed them to Sicily and then on up and across the continent. If I may be self-referential for a moment, it was on Lampedusa that I realized the scale of the problem and got the opening lines of my resulting book, The Strange Death of Europe: “Europe is committing suicide. Or at least its leaders have decided to commit suicide. Whether the European people choose to go along with this is, naturally, another matter.”
Pope Francis on Saturday rejected the notion of a migrant ’emergency’ in Europe during a speech in Marseille, France.
“Those who risk their lives at sea do not invade, they look for welcome,” Francis said during a church conference in the southern Mediterranean port city.
He added that migration is “a reality of our times, a process that involves three continents around the Mediterranean and that must be governed with wise foresight, including a European response.”
No words.
