Pact to turn refugees back to the U.S. doesn’t ‘shock’ conscience, Ottawa argues

In striking down a controversial refugee pact between Canada and the U.S., a Canadian judge made “palpable and overriding errors” that warrant a higher court’s intervention, according to a written submission by government lawyers.

“These errors permeated both the Federal Court’s factual and legal findings,” lawyers for Canada’s immigration and public safety ministers argued in their factum filed in advance of an appeal hearing on Tuesday to overturn a court order against the Safe Third Country Agreement. “These findings render the STCA inoperable.”

In July, Justice Ann Marie McDonald ruled the accord unconstitutional because the United States routinely detained asylum seekers under poor conditions.

French refugee center manager stabbed to death by asylum seeker – police

The manager of a refugee center in the French city of Pau has died of his injuries, after allegedly being stabbed multiple times by a Sudanese asylum seeker, police said on Friday.

The suspect, a 38-year-old man from Sudan, was arrested following the attack. He was reportedly known to the authorities for acts of violence and has already been in prison, according to French media.

The knife attack took place at around 11am local time in Pau, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The suspect’s motives for the attack remain unknown, although police sources told local media he had just been refused refugee status by OFPRA, the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons. The public broadcaster France Télévisions reported that the man had been in France since 2015.

Border agency reports spike of nearly 6,000 immigrant children crossing into US alone

Thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children are attempting to flee to the United States amid the coronavirus pandemic, propelled by devastating natural disasters, chronic violence, and severe economic hardship at home.

US Customs and Border Protection encountered 5,871 kids at the south-west border without a parent or legal guardian last month, the largest influx yet since the start of the public health crisis in early 2020.

That sudden spike is still relatively modest compared to huge figures from fiscal year 2019, when Border Patrol apprehended more than 76,000 unaccompanied children, a trend that reached its zenith that spring.

Somalian double rapist can stay in UK after winning deportation battle as judge says he will face ‘degrading’ treatment in home nation due to his mental health

A Somalian double rapist has been allowed to stay in the UK on human rights grounds after a judge said he would face ‘degrading’ treatment in his home country due to his mental health.

The 49-year-old arrived in Britain in 2004 and claimed asylum, but the Home Office sought to deport him after he amassed eight convictions in the space of six years.

Robbery, trying to pervert the course of justice, and raping two different women were among his offences.

Come One, Come All – President Biden’s immigration agenda will be a disaster for working-class Americans.

Nearly 16 million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits, and millions more have stopped looking for work. The labor-force participation rate—67 percent 20 years ago and 63.4 percent in January 2020—was down to 61.5 percent by last December. More than 26 million Americans have been infected with Covid-19, and countries around the world have closed their borders because of the pandemic. But the Biden administration appears to believe that what the United States needs now is a substantial increase in immigration, along with an amnesty for the millions of migrants here illegally.

Sweden to Teach “Migrants” That Violence, Female Genital Mutilation, and Child Marriage are Wrong

The Swedish government has decided that all asylum seekers who come to the country in the future will undergo a mandatory social introduction course shortly after their arrival.

The Swedish Migration Board has been tasked with preparing an introductory course that will inform the new arrivals about the asylum process, Swedish legislation, and the country’s democratic norms and values. This includes information on the rules that apply to so-called “honour-related” violence and oppression as well as protection from discrimination and abuse.

Denmark: “Our Goal is Zero Asylum Seekers”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has announced that her government intends to significantly limit the number of people seeking asylum in Denmark. The aim, she said, is to preserve “social cohesion” in the country.

Frederiksen’s comments, which many have welcomed, and others have dismissed as empty promises, are the latest salvo in a long-running debate about multiculturalism and the role of Islam in Danish society.

UK: So Called “Migrants” Burn Napier Barracks

‘These barracks were good enough for our brave soldiers’: Priti slams migrants held at ex-army barracks as they ‘start riot, torch buildings and threaten staff after being told they would no longer be transferred to hotels after Covid outbreak’

Priti Patel has tonight slammed the behaviour of migrants held at a former army barracks-turned asylum seeker accommodation site, amid reports that a 100-strong group started a riot, torched buildings and threatened staff.

The Home Secretary strongly condemned the unrest at Napier Barracks in Folkestone, Kent, which reportedly broke out after migrants were told they would no longer be transferred to hotels after a Covid outbreak.

She described the behaviour of those involved as ‘deeply offensive to the taxpayers of this country’ and said it was an ‘insult’ to suggest the site, formerly home to British soldiers, was ‘not good enough’ for asylum seekers.

The Horror! Toronto Star Sounds Alarm! Women Sneaking Into Canada To Have Anchor Babies Denied Due To Covid Restrictions!

COVID-19 scrutiny has stopped some women headed to Canada to give birth, documents allege

Greater scrutiny of travellers, prompted by COVID-19, has yielded new instances of women from other countries coming to Canada with what officials say is an unspoken plan to deliver their baby here, documents obtained by the Star show.

Some observers have repeatedly cautioned that the practice controversially dubbed “birth tourism” — which is legal — is being overblown and that focus on it has been driven as much by racism as real concern.

The federal government, meanwhile, has said it is studying the issue in an effort to understand the scope of what is happening.

 

Canada is so fecked up.

Biden’s Gifts for Illegal Aliens – Welcome to the open-borders president.

Biden’s Gifts for Illegal Aliens – Welcome to the open-borders president.

President Joe Biden is the illegal aliens’ best friend. He is asking Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship for the more than 11 million illegal aliens presently living in the United States. And to make the illegal aliens feel better about themselves, Biden is seeking a change in U.S. immigration laws to replace the phrase “illegal alien” with “noncitizen” to describe them.

Border Wall Contractors Told to Stop Construction by Tuesday Night: Congressman

Border Wall Contractors Told to Stop Construction by Tuesday Night: Congressman

All Customs and Border Protection (CPB) construction on the U.S.-Mexico border wall will stop by the end of Tuesday, according to a Democratic congressman whose district is located along the border.

“I received notification that in accordance with President [Joe] Biden’s executive order, all CPB contractors have now been formally notified by CBP Procurement to pause construction activities on CBP self-executed projects,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said in a statement. “While CBP cannot speak on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it is expected that DOD and USACE are undertaking parallel action on CBP-funded border wall projects that they are overseeing.”

Migrants Increasing at ‘Concerning Rate’ on Southern Border, Says CBP Agent

As caravans build up in Honduras, migrants are increasing at a “concerning rate” at the United States southern border, according to Matthew Hudak, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) chief patrol agent of the Laredo sector in Texas. He warns that immigration is just a piece of the threat coupled with the pandemic health risk and other crimes along the border.

“Like everybody, we’re tracking the formation of these caravans in Central America,” said Hudak. The Laredo Sector is one of nine CBP sectors along the southern border. It contains about 135 miles of the international border with Mexico.

Biden Freezes ICE; Suspends 85% of Criminal Alien Deportations

One of President Biden’s first acts on immigration is to suspend investigations, arrests, and deportations of most criminal aliens for the next 100 days. In a memo titled “Review of and Interim Revision to Civil Immigration Enforcement and Removal Policies and Procedures”, sent on Wednesday to all immigration agency heads, Acting DHS Secretary David Pekoske announced new enforcement priorities that go into effect on February 1, 2021. The memo imposes restrictions on immigration enforcement actions that are even tighter than those adopted (with disastrous results) by the Obama administration, and make the country a sanctuary not only for criminal aliens, but all who are here in defiance of our laws.
