Canada’s poor suffer … As universities ramp up foreign admissions, strain on housing supply rises

… Around 21,000 beds will be added to student residences in the 24 largest domestic markets by 2025, according to a report from real estate consultants Cushman & Wakefield, published earlier this year. At recent rates of admissions growth, that would cover just a portion of the incoming wave of students.

This pushes more students into the private rental market, where they compete with other residents for a limited number of housing units in supply-starved cities.

“It’s not just international students having trouble finding housing. That has an effect on the local market,” Mr. Usher said. “And it’s a tax that institutions are placing specifically on low-income families in those communities.”

Ms. Verma moved from Sydney to Halifax in the fall semester, as part of a required co-op term. Now she can’t find a room back in Sydney. She may commute – a one-way drive of five hours or so – to her final two classes.

“There is literally no space out there. I can’t even express how we are feeling. It’s really terrible,” she said.

Canada’s immigration policy is of no benefit to citizens, it is designed solely to provide the corporate class with the compliant bodies needed to depress wages and furnish a vote bloc for our corrupt politicians.

Immigration and Biden’s Title 42 Catastrophe

Democrats entered office with one fixed idea: Reverse everything Trump. Then the border collapsed.

If family conversation flags by Christmas afternoon, here’s a pick-me-up question to pour onto the table: Who in American public life is the biggest Trump obsessive? Adam Schiff? Liz Cheney? Don Lemon? No contest. The nation’s top Trump obsessive is our man in the Oval Office—Joe Biden.

The Biden whisperers have let it be known that after the holidays the president will announce his run for re-election, largely because Mr. Biden thinks he’s the one who can stop Donald Trump.

Which naturally brings us to the thousands of migrants wading daily across the Rio Grande into the U.S.

Border town of El Paso scrambles as more migrants risk it all to reach US

After walking around downtown for hours, two young Colombian men stood across from the El Paso Chihuahuas baseball team’s stadium, looking for a shelter that immigration officials had mentioned.

A security guard who didn’t speak Spanish grasped their need and pointed towards the convention center.

“We went to a bus station, but there’s no tickets available for three days,” Duvan Avendaño said, hugging his arms to his chest in the freezing temperatures.

No amount is too much to the left.

Elite undercover Texas agents disguise themselves as migrants to apprehend smugglers

El Paso, Texas — Wearing baggy blue jeans and hoodies and looking scruffy and unkempt, the state’s elite undercover squad could easily be mistaken for the bedraggled smugglers they are trying to apprehend, or the migrants pouring over the southern border from Mexico.

These specially trained members of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Texas Department of Public Safety have perhaps the most dangerous job on the border, acting as double agents and facing certain death if their cover is blown.

There’s No Shortage of Immigrant Workers

… Some may respond, “If Americans won’t work, let’s bring in immigrants who will.” But consider the implications of this argument. It’s well established that the decline in labor-force participation is associated with a host of undesirable outcomes: substance abuse, welfare dependency, poor mental health, crime, lack of family formation, and early death. The fiscal costs associated with all these problems are paid for by taxpayers. Furthermore, the social disorder that plagues communities where many men do not work isn’t confined to those areas. To be sure, a significant share of the millions of the less-educated Americans who have dropped out of the labor force have made poor choices in life. But they are our fellow Americans, and we have a greater responsibility for them than for prospective immigrants overseas who want to come here.

In 2023, we need a reckoning with multiculturalism

From Leicester to Telford, the poisonous influence of multiculturalism was impossible to ignore this year.

Britain remains a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith society. But 2022 served up several brutal reminders of how quickly social cohesion can unravel under the impact of the divisive ideology of multiculturalism.

The disorder in Leicester during August and September, in which groups of largely Hindu and Muslim men fought each other for days on end, was particularly troubling. It could prove a watershed moment for community relations in modern Britain.

Will Canada’s homeless encampments be able to absorb the coming wave?

The Canadian population just blew past 39 million, and the country is only going to get bigger: Ottawa announced in November it wants to bring in a half-million more immigrants each year. The population grows apace, our infrastructure — governmental and private — is struggling to keep up. And it’s a story playing out across Canada.

They want you dead and replaced with compliant slaves.

Less Than Half of Foreign Fugitives Ordered Deported in Past 6 Years Left Canada, Records Show

Foreign fugitives have high chances of dodging deportation from Canada each year, as records show that of thousands of foreigners ordered to leave the country over the past six years, just 48 percent were actually deported.

An Inquiry of Ministry, presented to the House of Commons by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), said of the 13,287 foreigners ordered out of the country since 2016, a total of 6,322 were deported, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Great Britain: Multiculturalism and Islam Turn It Upside-Down

“Leicester has become the poster city for multicultural Britain, a place where the stunning number and size of the minorities – the 55 mosques, 18 Hindu temples, nine Sikh gurudwaras, two synagogues, two Buddhist centres and one Jain centre – are seen not as a recipe for conflict or a millstone around the city’s neck, but a badge of honour,” was how, in 2013, the British liberal newspaper The Independent celebrated the transformation of Britain’s tenth-largest city.

There are places in Europe that visited the future sooner than others: Malmö in Sweden, Trappes and Roubaix in France, Cologne in Germany, Molenbeek in Belgium, Leicester in England…

Can America fix its border problem?

They face sub-zero cold and the menace of gangs, but in Texas migrants are gathering in anticipation of a law change

The first night of Jorge’s new life in the United States was also the coldest he had known in his 47 years.

As temperatures dropped below freezing, he was among the oldest of a group of 30 men and women preparing to bunk down in the open air in bundles of blankets handed out by wellwishers near the locked Greyhound bus station in the Texas border city of El Paso.

Biden’s Pattern of Dereliction at the Border

What will it take to get his administration to reverse its open-borders policy?

It has become a pattern. The federal government won’t protect the southern border of the United States, as is its charge, so the governor of a state affected by illegal migration takes things into his own hands to safeguard his citizens. The federal government, in response, its voice amplified by sycophants in the press and social media, accuses the state of infringing on the federal government’s province and demands that it halt its intervention.

Fury as Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas goes to Texas to meet with border agents but DOESN’T visit Rio Grande, processing centers OR the streets of El Paso where migrants are sleeping rough

Critics are sounding the alarm after Alejandro Mayorkas’ visit to El Paso didn’t include a survey of the inundated border crossing areas or parts of the city where migrants are sleeping on the streets due to massive overcrowding in shelters.

While the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary did visit with Border Patrol agents and officials in El Paso, he did not take a look at that dire situation for which Republicans claim he is responsible.

‘No, as far as I’m aware and what I’m hearing from the ground, he [Mayorkas] did not go to the border,’ National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told DailyMail.com.

Coming to America

REVIEW: ‘The Culture Transplant’ by Garett Jones

Imagine that you are a U.S. immigration officer, handing out green cards to the would-be Americans of the world. You have before you two applicants who look almost completely the same; for some arcane, unspecified bureaucratic reason, you can only approve one of them. They’re both well-educated by American standards, both bringing identical families, both passed their background checks.

The major difference is their nation of origin. One is from a nation with a strong tradition of rule of law, free markets, and democratic pluralism. The other is from a country where kleptocracy, autocracy, and socialism are standard. The difference, in other words, is the character of the society that your two would-be immigrants come from. The question is: Should this difference matter?
