Via TikTok "Papa Biden" is paving the streets with gold for illegal immigrants, brags Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who is recruiting people to come to the US. He encourages illegals to invade homes and become squatters, so they get a free home by stealing them from Americans. Leonel Moreno, ‘migrant influencer’ encouraging others to invade the US, squat at homes is now on the run from authorities https://t.co/H3zbfx3m38 pic.twitter.com/5nSv5lra9N— New York Post (@nypost) March 27, 2024Stupid me, when I saw this video yesterday on Twitter I assumed it was anti-immigrant propaganda. It was just too outrageous, and too...

In a decision that is shockingly sensible, a three judge panel of the notorious Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal in San Francisco has ruled that illegal immigrant children are not entitled to free legal representation, funded by taxpayers, in trying to legalize their status. Maura Dolan writes in the Los Angeles Times: A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an immigration judge's decision to deny asylum to a minor identified as C.J.L.G., who left Honduras at age 13 after being threatened by gangs. The boy did not have a lawyer, and his mother was unable...

'You Are Part of Germany, But Also Part of Our Great Turkey'Thousands of Turkish immigrants gave Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan a rock star welcome in Germany on Sunday in a show of national pride that remains fervent, even after decades spent in Germany. He told them they remain part of Turkey, and urged them to integrate into German society -- but not to assimilate. The lyric keeps echoing around the hall in Düsseldorf. "The land belongs to us all." The sentence isn't referring to Germany, but to Turkey.

A touching rendition, French street music.

Attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have "utterly failed", Chancellor Angela Merkel says. In her speech, the chancellor specifically referred to recent comments by German President Christian Wulff who said that Islam was "part of Germany" like Christianity and Judaism. Mrs Merkel says Islam is part of Germany but more must be done on integration While acknowledging that this was the case, Mrs Merkel stressed that immigrants living in Germany needed to do more to integrate, including learning to speak German. In August, Thilo Sarrazin, a senior official at Germany's central, said that "no immigrant group other than...

A chilling new video released by the Christian Action Network shows Muslim women at a compound in New York State practicing throat cutting techniques and assault weapons training.

The truth is out. Illegal immigrants commit crimes at a much higher rate than Americans and legal immigrants. A new Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report nails it. It proves the lies and smashes the myths of the “noble” illegal immigrant who only wants to “do the jobs Americans won’t do.” Using Freedom of Information Act requests to access otherwise embargoed government data on immigrant crime, the CIS establishes the fact that illegals commit “relatively high rates of crime.” The phony “academics” that’ve made careers of lying about the destructive impact of illegal aliens on our society are proved wrong....

The Home Secretary admitted yesterday that the Government had made mistakes in its handling of immigration and had overreacted to the 7/7 bombings in London. In his first speech on the subject, Alan Johnson said that ministers had ignored immigration problems and the growing pressure on jobs and services in parts of Britain. Some communities had legitimate concerns because they had been particularly affected. (snip) Mr Johnson is the first Labour Home Secretary to admit mistakes on immigration. He said his predecessors had not addressed problems that led to huge backlogs of asylum seekers and foreign national prisoners. It emerged...

Unemployment rates are rising across the United States, except Oklahoma. That state is experiencing the most dramatic reduction in unemployment since 2007, an improvement many in Oklahoma attribute to the passage last year by the state legislature of a strong employment-focused immigration reform law. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday reported unemployment in Oklahoma had fallen to 3.1 percent in March, down from 4 percent in March last year, while unemployment nationwide was 5.1 percent, up from 4.4 percent in March last year. "Oklahoma is no longer 'OK' for illegal aliens," said State Rep. Randy Terrill, who sponsored...

Last week the California Supreme Court ruled that high schools can't censor their students in school newspapers. A former Novato High School student journalist filed a lawsuit against the government school district for censoring two columns he wrote in the paper. Here's an example of what they tried to censor. This is the student's solution to illegal immigration: "It can't be hard to find and detain the people who can't speak English. If a person looks suspicious than just stop them and ask a few questions, and if they answer 'que?,' detain them and see if they are legal." The...

At war with radical Islam National Post Mon 30 Oct 2006 Page: A13 Section: Issues & Ideas Byline: Lorne Gunter Social housing must be counted as one of the greatest failures -- and there are many -- of the "progressive" thinking of the 1960s and 1970s. Nearly everywhere large public housing projects have been built, they have become incubators for crime, drug dependence, fatherless families, unemployment and welfare. Rather than lifting minorities out of poverty, social housing has herded them together where they are easier prey for bad people and bad ideas. So, at least some of the troubles...

CLICHY-SOUS-BOIS, France - Marauding youths torched hundreds of vehicles overnight and on Saturday in renewed violence coinciding with the first anniversary of riots that exposed a deep schism between poor North African immigrants and mainstream France. A group of teenagers set one bus on fire Saturday in the southern French port city of Marseille, seriously wounding a passenger. Three others suffered from smoke inhalation, police said. Two other public buses and 277 vehicles around the country were burned overnight, police said. Six police were injured and 47 people were arrested, ministry officials said. Still the Interior Ministry described the night...

Britain is embroiled in a fierce debate over British Muslim women who wear a niqab--an opaque veil that covers a woman's entire face. Many British Muslims have expressed outrage that a public schoolteacher was ordered to remove her veil--while many other Britons have defended the school, criticized the wearing of niqabs, and called for the greater assimilation of Muslims into British society. "Britons are absolutely right to criticize the niqab," said Alex Epstein, junior fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute. "It is a demeaning, barbaric article of clothing that inculcates shame in women, depriving them of individuality and femininity." "But...

The French housing estates hit by a wave of riots a year ago could once again descend into violence, an intelligence report has warned. The conditions that led to the 2005 unrest are still in place, it says. The warning comes just days before the anniversary of the first riots, following the death of two youths in an estate north-east of Paris. Recent weeks have seen a rise in clashes between police and youths in the capital's immigrant suburbs. The report by the intelligence agency of the interior ministry, dated 11 October, was leaked to the Figaro newspaper. The BBC's...

French police face 'permanent intifada' By JAMEY KEATEN, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 15 minutes ago On a routine call, three unwitting police officers fell into a trap. A car darted out to block their path, and dozens of hooded youths surged out of the darkness to attack them with stones, bats and tear gas before fleeing. One officer was hospitalized, and no arrests made. The recent ambush was emblematic of what some officers say has become a near-perpetual and increasingly violent conflict between police and gangs in tough, largely immigrant French neighborhoods that were the scene of a three-week paroxysm...

The row over Muslim women wearing veils shows how Britain risks creating a system of "voluntary apartheid", shadow home secretary David Davis has warned. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Davis questioned whether there was a "series of closed societies" in the UK. [Mr Davis is worried that Britain is becoming a divided society] And he said there was a growing feeling the Muslim community was "excessively sensitive to criticism" and "unwilling to engage in substantive debate". Last week Commons leader Jack Straw said the veils caused "separateness". Government 'confused' Mr Davis, the Conservative MP for Haltemprice and Howden, said...

HOUSTON, August 17, 2006 – The amateur video footage is shaky but there is no mistaking the limp bodies lying alongside a Nuevo Laredo gutter and the peppering sound of rapid gunfire in the back-ground. The video documenting a recent gunfight between Mexican law enforcement and drug cartels was shown at the start of a subcommittee hearing of the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security on Wednesday. The hearing was intended to investigate criminal activity and violence along the U.S.-Mexico border. Like the video, the hearing included stories of gruesome violence committed along the border and by illegal immigrants. At...

SAN DIEGO - Fewer parents are walking their children to school in this border city's Linda Vista neighborhood. The crowd of day laborers huddled in a parking lot outside McDonald's has dropped by half. A sense of unease has spread in this community of weather-worn homes since immigration agents began walking the streets as part of a stepped-up nationwide effort targeting an estimated 590,000 immigrant fugitives. Other illegal immigrants are being rounded up along the way. Juana Osorio, an illegal immigrant from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, said her neighbors have largely stayed indoors since agents visited her apartment complex...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The U.S. Supreme Court may have the final word on whether an immigrant mother must leave her husband and son - both American citizens - and be deported next month to her native Mexico. Now that the Senate has reached an agreement on immigration reforms, the plight of 31-year-old Myrna Dick could also become part of the contentious debate under way in Washington, her lawyers say. The government first tried to deport Dick in 2004, charging she lied about her citizenship while crossing the U.S. border. She was pregnant at the time of the deportation order,...

Nearly half of those polled say they have become more skeptical about Islam as a religion after the global uproar around the Mohammed caricatures. The result comes from a survey carried out by InFact for Norway's best-selling newspaper VG. According to the survey, which was carried out on Tuesday, 47.8 percent of those asked said they were more skeptical about Islam, while 36.7 percent their opinion of the religion had not been affected by the caricature controversy. A small group of 6.5 percent said they were less skeptical about Islam after the turmoil. At the same time, 30.8 percent say...
