Supreme Court Allows Texas to Enforce Law Authorizing Local, State Police to Arrest Illegal Immigrants

The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted its freeze of a Texas immigration law which allows state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants and empowers state judges to deport them.

The Court’s six conservative justices dismissed the Biden administration’s emergency appeal, allowing the law to remain in effect while the issue is adjudicated by lower courts. The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, issued a concurring opinion explaining that Texas should be allowed to enforce its law until a lower court definitively strikes it down.

‘SAD’ STATE OF AFFAIRS: Viral videos show huge lineups at Ontario job fairs

Videos of massive crowds lining up for job fairs in the GTA and elsewhere in Ontario show just how tough the job market has become.

With minimal spots to fill and hundreds — sometimes thousands — of people competing for those few roles, it’s been a grind out there for prospective employees.

Gun Ban for Illegal Immigrants Ruled Unconstitutional

Cartel gunman crossing Texas Mexico border

The right to keep and bear arms is a natural right, meaning all free men and women have that right, regardless of where they are on the planet. It’s part of why so many of us find other nations’ gun laws so insulting. It’s a repression of people’s right to have weapons to defend themselves and their nation.

‘Multiculturalism’ is damaging our society. There is only one way to stop it

Successive British governments, Labour and Tory, have spoken out against racism while passing regulations which have only served to embed it.

Tony Blair did not seem to care for our nation state. He preferred governance from unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats both here and in Brussels. It suited his brand of left-wing politics for EU nations to lose their values and identity: far easier to hand more power to Europe if national interests and cultures could not get in the way.

Mass migration, at least in the short-term, also worked economically. With an eye on the single most important metric to judge prosperity, New Labour realised immigration would boost growth. With growth in the population would come growth in GDP, a demand for housing and infrastructure and cheap imported labour to power British business. This merry go round would apparently keep working as long as the population kept growing. But in reality, it was a Ponzi scheme.

Life in Canada is ‘more expensive’ than most immigrants expected, new poll finds

The overwhelming majority of immigrants who arrived in Canada within the last decade say that life is “more expensive” than they anticipated, according to a new national poll.

The Leger survey found that 84 per cent of recent arrivals to Canada agreed that life is either “significantly” or “somewhat” pricier than they originally envisioned prior to immigrating. Meanwhile, just two per cent of respondents felt that the cost of living was “less expensive” than initially thought.

This is unwelcome news for Canadian newcomers, given that seven in ten cited economic concerns as a primary reason for coming to the Great White North. This was followed by almost half (45 per cent) of respondents citing educational opportunities and 18 per cent were aimed at family reunification.

‘We’re So Sick of It.’ Northern Border Crisis Gets Worse.

Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the northern U.S. border have jumped from 916 in fiscal year 2021 to 10,021 in fiscal 2023.

HIGHGATE, Vt.—At dawn or dusk, Kristy Brow used to enjoy alone time walking in the woods on her 21-acre property in Highgate, Vermont, a small rural town near the U.S.–Canada border.

Lately, however, she’s cautious—she’s worried about potential encounters with illegal immigrants along the remote logging trail.

“I don’t go out by myself anymore—especially at night,” said Mrs. Brow, who runs a dog obedience business from her home.

“It’s unsettling. You can’t feel relaxed anymore,” she said. “You want to be safe in your own house and on your property.

Who Says Our Economy Needs Two Million Migrants a Year?

Immigration without limits enriches some but also strains important parts of the economy.

Thurston Howell III went off on Gilligan now and then. In one episode the fictional tycoon got so mad he referred to the sailor as “probably not even a Republican.” That was when many pre-literate boomers got their first inkling of well-heeled northeasterners as stereotypical stalwarts of the GOP. Howell belonged to all the right clubs, knew the right people and graduated Harvard. A remake of Gilligan’s Island that fit in with modern times would switch Howell to the blue party and amp his rage up to eleven.

International student charged after alleged voyeurism involving cellphone at U of T residence

Toronto police say they have charged an international student after they received reports of voyeurism involving female students being filmed while they were in the shower at a University of Toronto residence.

In a news release on Saturday, police said the latest incident happened at the Wilson Hall Residence at New College on Willcocks Street near Spadina Avenue on Tuesday. Students alleged a cellphone was held over a shower curtain.

Police said while a female student was showering in an all-female washroom at the residence, she noticed a shadow over the shower curtain.

How asylum claims by students at these two Ontario colleges became ‘alarming’

Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller warned last month that the increases in the number of asylum claims from international students is “alarming” and “totally unacceptable.”

Speaking ahead of cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill, Miller highlighted Toronto’s Seneca College, where asylum claims from international students increased from 300 in 2022 to almost 700 in 2023, and Kitchener’s Conestoga College, where claims jumped from 106 to 450 during that same period, reports The Canadian Press.

Tyson Foods wants to hire 52,000 asylum seekers for factory jobs

New York City shelters are overwhelmed with migrants.

Many of them have arrived in Texas or Florida and then taken buses to New York, where shelter and benefits are guaranteed. However, the city is scrambling as the number continues to climb and the migrants look to build a new life in America, which includes housing and work.

But for companies like Tyson Foods Inc., struggling to fill unpopular jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9%, this new population presents an alluring opportunity.

Douglas Todd: Canadian leaders more wary about asylum seekers

“To those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.”

That was the message Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted online in 2017, fresh from an election victory in which Canadian politicians of the left, right and centre were virtually competing to claim who would bring the most refugees from war-torn Syria.

‘He’s in full control’: Why Poilievre is distancing Conservatives from corporate Canada

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s recent criticism of “useless” corporate lobbyists is rooted in his party’s skepticism of the modern business community and also meant to demonstrate that he is not “beholden” to anyone as he prepares to form government, say political observers.

In fact, those observers say that Poilievre’s strategy involves deliberately ditching the traditional business luncheon circuits in Ottawa, Toronto or Montreal to speak directly to voters.


Frankly I am skeptical.

Under Trudeau corporate Canada has dictated the Liberal Party’s ruinous mass immigration policy.

We all know how it works.

Trudeau’s Liberal Party curries favour with ethnic vote blocs by flooding the country with immigrants of dubious economic and social caliber.

The corporate class gets the malleable cheap labour pool they want while the well positioned profit from the shortages caused by the huge increase in population.

The article mentions that Poilievre is bypassing the business class and speaking directly to working class voters, both of them.

Nowhere is mass immigration mentioned as a topic of discussion in Poilievre’s heart to hearts and for that I call time.

Princeton economist with a Nobel under his belt eats crow and does a U-turn on mass migration

Just yesterday, Breitbart News reported on Angus Deaton’s epiphany regarding the mass invasion of illegal foreigners into the American interior; he finally realized that importing millions of freeloaders to our welfare state isn’t such a good thing for the working class taxpayers, or the economy. Deaton is a Princeton economist and a Nobel recipient, so cut him some slack, he’s a little slower than the rest of us—remember, “the road to Hell is paved with Ivy League degrees” and apparently, Nobel Prizes too.


I missed the following post in February but it is well worth the read if you have time.

In Praise of Conspiracy Theories: From The Camp of the Saints to Camps in the Darién Gap

Last week, the American journalist Tucker Carlson interviewed Bret Weinstein, a professional biologist who became a public intellectual after he and his scientist wife were driven out of their woke university for refusing to cooperate with a diversity program they regarded as racist. Though he has been a lifelong leftist and atheist, Weinstein’s iconoclastic observations and commentaries have been embraced by conservatives who are more interested in truth than ideological conformity. It turns out that people like him, who find themselves thrust outside the bubble of epistemic closure, often see things that the rest of us do not.

On the Carlson program, Weinstein reported on his recent visit to the Darién Gap, the densely forested patch of land in Panama, through which all migrants headed north from South America must pass. For most of the millions of migrants who have passed this way headed to the United States in recent years, this is the most perilous part of their journey. Weinstein, who is familiar with the area from his field research there as a biologist, was shocked to see NGOs everywhere in the Darién Gap, and also the United Nations migration office.

“The United States Government is facilitating this economic migration,” he said on the show. “It’s unmistakable.”
