Pope urges Europe to do more for migrants while visiting gateway island

Pope Leo XIV has called on European leaders to rise to the “momentous challenge” of handling migration as he visited the Italian island of Lampedusa.

The pontiff urged Europe to help new arrivals integrate better and improve conditions in their home countries, during a mass on the island, which receives tens of thousands of migrants a year.

“Those who have lost their lives in this sea are victims both of decisions that were made and of decisions that were not made,” the Pope said.

Mass immigration has turned the European dream into a nightmare

Mass immigration has turned the European dream into a nightmare

Once upon a time, there was a magic word that conjured up the liberal dream of passport-free open borders: Schengen.

It is actually the name of a village in Luxembourg where the agreements were signed four decades ago that created an area of free movement for 450 million people across 29 countries. Today, however, the dream has become a nightmare. Illegal migration on a vast scale from outside the EU has forced 10 governments to adopt emergency measures to control their borders with other member states. They include France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands.

I went undercover on the Tube to test how safe women really are. Within hours, men followed me, touched me and ignored my pleas to stop

I went undercover on the Tube to test how safe women really are. Within hours, men followed me, touched me and ignored my pleas to stop

It’s around 2am on the Piccadilly Line and the Tube carriage is empty – apart from me and a man twice my age. His eyes never leave me during the 40-minute journey.

Potbellied and with a menacing grin, he moves suddenly from the seat opposite, plonking himself down next to me. He’s desperate to get my attention, talking at me over the deafening noise of the train.

Unnerved, I get off before my stop. But he follows me and on to another near-empty train – this time the Jubilee Line towards Stratford. Again and again he tries to engage me in chat, staring at me and licking his lips.

More than 80 asylum seekers set to be moved into £250,000 ‘Migrant Street’ newbuild village homes – sparking fury among residents

Villagers are fighting plans to move 83 asylum seekers into newbuild homes in a development dubbed ‘Migrant Street.’

They say they were told the new development would be affordable housing. But they have since learned that 21 homes have been earmarked for asylum seekers.

One migrant family has already moved in to the estate – but said they wished to leave because the development was too ‘remote’ and they had faced hostility from locals.

The Myth of Cursed Soil

The Myth of Cursed Soil

Last year, I wrote on the “myth of magic soil,” an idea blithely trotted out by anti-American leftists — and even many on the more moderate of the political spectrum’s right wing — and hammered into the minds of citizens ad nauseam. According to the myth of magic soil, anyone can become an American just by coming to America. Doesn’t matter if you come from a high-trust Anglo-Saxon community steeped in Christian morality and born from the profound courage and towering thought of the Western tradition or if you crawled out of some impoverished, crime-ridden, backwards Third World Muslim country, the Left declares that you can be just as American as the man whose ancestors arrived on the Mayflower and whose family has served in the U.S. Armed Forces every generation since 1776.

US homeland security secretary tells migrants to seek permanent status or leave

US homeland security secretary tells migrants to seek permanent status or leave

Migrants in the US on temporary protected status (TPS) should seek permanent residence or leave, Markwayne Mullin, Homeland Security secretary, said in the wake of last week’s supreme court decision that stripped humanitarian protections from hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

The remarks to CNN’s State of the Union program comes after a decision ⁠that could allow Donald Trump’s administration to deport Haitian and Syrian immigrants to home countries plagued by conflict and ​destitution.

“Either try to fill ‌out the paperwork and ‌be here underneath a permanent status, or we’ll help you get ‌back to your country,” Mullin said.

New Study: Immigration Caused 40% Of Your Rent Hikes Over 10 Years

mmigration accounts for as much as 40 percent of U.S. rent increases as the housing affordability crisis continues to plague millions of Americans, according to a forthcoming study shared exclusively with The Federalist.

The paper, “Immigration and Rent: A PUMA-Based Spatial Analysis,” will appear this fall in Cityscape magazine as part of a collection of works exploring the relationship between immigration and housing markets.

South Africa’s warning for Britain

South Africa’s warning for Britain

As Britain reacted to an eruption of anti-migrant violence in Belfast earlier this month, seeing images of burnt-out terraced housing and hearing accounts of African nurses apprehended at checkpoints, a parallel story was unfolding 6,000 miles away, albeit on a much larger scale. In the Sherwood suburb of Durban, South Africa, some five-dozen immigrants from Malawi were taking refuge in a field beside a mosque, having been chased from their homes by protesters demanding they leave the country.
