Number of Chinese Nationals Spikes at the Border

December is not quite over, and as Catherine noted earlier today, 250,000 illegal aliens have crossed the border this month — more than the number of people who stormed the beaches on D-Day. She also raised a point that has been stated again and again: there is no way of telling who these people are and, for that matter, why they are here. There is no doubt that a number of those entering the country are fleeing poverty and crime or who want their shot at the American Dream. (Incidentally, good luck to them. Most Americans are not even sure they can get a shot at the American Dream.)

Terror Watchlist Encounters at Border Increasing

The number of potential terrorists entering the United States illegally keeps increasing, and is likely to reach record levels this year.

Before I dive into this disturbing story, take note: border “encounters” only take place when the Border Patrol actually apprehends an illegal migrant. Given how many “gotaways” there are, and how little effort there is these days to catch them, the fact that anybody on the terror watchlist is caught entering the country is something of a miracle.

Sweden: “If You Want Our Aid, Take Back Your Migrants”

Ulf Kristersson’s center-right government, which relies heavily on the support of the national-conservative Sweden Democrats (SD), has announced a landmark reform to its foreign aid policy that will require beneficiary countries to cooperate with its repatriation efforts to continue receiving financial assistance.

The announcement comes after leaders in the SD-supported government, in an op-ed penned for Dagens Nyheter earlier, revealed that the country has witnessed 26% fewer asylum applications in 2023 than the previous year due to policies it enacted aimed at eliminating migration pull factors.

Hostile states will ‘drive’ migrants to UK and destabilise the West, warns Brit PM

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.”

UK Has Deported Just 1% of Illegal Channel Migrants

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.

Why Migration Is Now Europe’s No. 1 Issue

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.

Human smuggling from Canada to U.S. a ‘lucrative market’ attracting organized crime: RCMP

A lucrative and growing cross-border human smuggling market is attracting domestic and international criminal organizations looking to cash in on moving “vulnerable” people from Canada into the United States, according to the senior RCMP officer who oversees border policing.

Chief Supt. Mathieu Bertrand, head of Serious and Organized Crime and Border Integrity at RCMP Federal Policing, said the force has recently recorded an “immense amount of intercepts” of cross-border smuggling attempts headed south, particularly across the Ontario-Quebec border with New York state and Vermont.

Illegal migration to Germany drops dramatically since introduction of border controls

Illegal migration to Germany fell sharply last month after Berlin introduced tougher border-control checks, new figures have revealed.

Federal government statistics showed that there were around 4,353 “unauthorised entries” into the country over its land borders in November compared with 18,384 in the previous month.

There was a significant decline in entries from Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland, where Germany has tightened controls, as well as from Austria.

The Star Is Sad! – Deportations surge as regularization stalls for ̷t̷h̷e̷ ̷u̷n̷d̷o̷c̷u̷m̷e̷n̷t̷e̷d̷ ̷ illegal alien benefit shoppers

Ottawa has stepped up its effort to deport foreign nationals while stalling the rollout of a promised plan to grant permanent residence to those who have lost legal status in Canada, advocates charge.

According to government data, the Canada Border Services Agency removed 7,232 people from the country in the first six months of this year, at a rate averaging 39 people a day.

It compared to the total 7,635 deportations, or 21 cases a day, that the agency enforced in the entire year of 2021, when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged to legalize the status of undocumented migrants in Canada, a population estimated in the hundreds of thousands.

Germany to Criminalize Migrant-Ferrying NGOs

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.

Hotel Migrants Earning Thousands Under Food Delivery Firm Loophole

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.

European Voters, in a Shift Rightward, Are Turning Against Unchecked Immigration From Africa and the Mid-East

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.

“People Have Been Abandoned”: The Town That Epitomises Germany’s Migrant Failure

A Thuringian town, like many in Germany, grapples with a massive influx of migrants. Locals talked to us about their fears.

SUHL, GERMANY—Thuringia has no say in how many asylum seekers come to the state—these are the words of Thuringia’s Minister for Migration, Doreen Denstädt, whose admission of helplessness says it all about the migration situation in Germany.

Eisenberg, Hermsdorf, and Suhl are small towns in the eastern German state of Thuringia, where reception centres for migrants have been overcrowded for months. Just like most parts of Europe, Germany has been facing an influx of asylum seekers this year: around 205,000 migrants applied for asylum between January and August this year, marking an increase of 77% compared with the same period last year.

Inside Hungary’s fight for its borders against Afghan warlords

Just across the coils of razor wire on Hungary’s heavily fortified border with Serbia, the Taliban’s terrorist Haqqani wing is fighting a violent turf war to take control of the most active illegal migration route into Europe.

Hungary’s security services, which share intelligence with Nato, are warning European countries that the Taliban takeover, coming amid a European migration crisis and a new Middle East conflict, increases the risk of terrorists using the western Balkans route to infiltrate Europe.
