The population of Providence, R.I., has barely held even since 2020. Had it not been for some 8,300 immigrants who settled in Providence County, it would have shrunk by 1.3 percent by last year. Same in South Bend, Ind., where some 1,700 immigrants into Saint Joseph County barely filled a gap left by locals ditching town. Immigrants slowed demographic decline in more than 1,100 counties from 2020 to 2023, according to census estimates. Their numbers made up more than the entire growth of the population in 131 of them. The demographic reality casts immigration in a different light, not as...

Madam Lim received this SMS notification which led to her discovering two migrant workers were registered to her condo.Madam Lim was shocked when, in early March, she received an SMS from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) informing her that a migrant worker was registered as a tenant at her condominium unit. The 59-year-old, who declined to give her full name, received another shock when she went online and found that another migrant worker had earlier been registered as a tenant at the same unit. She had already rented out the Jurong East home to a Japanese couple, and said that...

The following interview with an Iranian man coming illegally to the United States should serve as a cautionary tale. The Iranian man began the interview by looking around at all the illegal immigrants coming at the same time from China, India, and elsewhere, and warned of the danger. “I would be afraid because all of these people in China and India militaries, even myself, I’m a military, and there’s a question is coming up in here…” He said it was a “scary question.” If there was an incident between the US and China in Taiwan, what would these people do?...

Geiger Capital’s recent revelation left me speechless. It’s not just shocking; it’s a wake-up call for America. In February alone, a staggering 1.2 million immigrants, both legal and illegal, secured jobs, while 500,000 native-born Americans lost theirs. Can you believe it? Since the onset of the pandemic, native-born workers have endured a devastating blow, losing a total of 2 million jobs. And here’s the kicker: not a single job created since June 2018 has been for US-born workers. Zero. Zilch. Nada. All the approximately 3.9 million net job gains? They belong to immigrants. It’s a bitter truth we can’t ignore.

A migrant TikToker with a 500,000-strong online following is offering his comrades tips on how to “invade” unoccupied homes and invoke squatter’s rights in the United States. Venezuelan national Leonel Moreno, who goes by the handle @leitooficial_25 on TikTok and Instagram and appears to live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, said in a recent video that under US law, “if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.” He appeared to be referring to adverse possession laws, commonly known as squatter’s rights, which allow unlawful property occupants rights over the property they occupy without the owner’s consent. Moreno...

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...

Three illegal immigrants from Guatemala were charged in Florida with kidnapping a woman in their pick-up truck near a park and sexually assaulting her twice before she managed to escape. The arrests of Marcos Felipe Ramirez, 31, Darniel Ordónez Jimenez, 30, and Andres Felipe Morales, 29, prompted Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw to torch the federal government under the Biden administration for putting "the American people in jeopardy" during a fiery press conference on Wednesday announcing the charges against the trio. Ramirez, Jimenez and Morales were "apprehended for a series of heinous charges including sexual battery, false imprisonment, conspiracy...

Yesterday marked the opening of a new film by Angel Studios — Cabrini — and the film has already generated an impressive amount of buzz. Considering the Catholic content of the film, this is somewhat surprising but in a very good way. I haven't seen the film yet, but I intend to over the next week. I'm told that local theaters are basically sold-out this weekend. Of course, nothing produced with religious content is without controversy. Cabrini is being promoted as a sort-of feminist anti-Barbie, which is an interesting tactic. This indicates that the filmmakers are attempting to broaden the...

SNIP ASML declined to comment on Wednesday. However, Wennink spoke at an event in The Hague and said he was concerned the business climate in the Netherlands was worsening. "Some of these elements that made us a great company, those elements are under pressure," he said, citing increasing regulation and a plan to scrap a tax break given to highly skilled immigrants. POTENTIAL CURBS ON FOREIGN STUDENTS Around 40% of ASML's 23,000 employees in the Netherlands are not Dutch. Europe's largest tech company sources parts from around the globe but currently assembles its machines in Veldhoven, Netherlands before shipping them...

Folks, please watch this and share it everywhere. The flood of illegal immigration is going to cause severe financial strain on our schools AND everywhere else in society. Click here for documentation of massive tax dollars spent on illegal aliens.

The city of Vancouver was built by serious Christians.... It is now a cesspit of crime, drugs, human trafficking, child sex and money laundering. The city has been taken over by a consortium of cartels, Asian and Mexican, who own through their funding of a proliferation of social justice activist groups, members of the city council, the judiciary, as well as members of the provincial and federal government, particularly those in immigration who rubber stamp the papers of the worst criminals from across the Asian world. They are all here now. The pickings are just too good. You are next...

Way back in 2005, when I was an MP in the Netherlands, my party was strategising about the upcoming local elections. I belonged to the centre-right VVD, and we were particularly concerned about appealing to the nation’s growing migrant community. After much discussion, the leaders settled on Laetitia Griffith to represent us in Amsterdam. She was black and had roots in Suriname, a former Dutch colony in the Caribbean. She could pull in the city’s Creole vote. More importantly, the VVD’s strategists thought she could win over some of the city’s Muslim population. In the hope of making this task...

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Rioting broke out between two rival groups of Eritreans in the Netherlands on Saturday night, police said. Officers used tear gas in an attempt to quell the unrest in The Hague as rioters torched police cars and a bus. Images from the scene showed vehicles in flames and dozens of men in the street, some throwing rocks. “It got seriously out of hand,” The Hague Municipality spokesman Robin Middel said.

And brought Obama’s father to America. When LBJ signed the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act into law, JFK had been dead for two years, but it, more than the Cuban missile crisis or the race to the moon, was his real legacy which still impacts us today when there are no more Americans on the moon or nukes in Cuba. At the signing, LBJ paid tribute to “the vision of the late beloved President John Fitzgerald Kennedy”. Little did the 36th president know that the 44th president, born to a radical Kenyan student, was already growing up in this country...

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak survived a key test of his leadership Wednesday, fending off right-wing rebels to win a crunch parliamentary vote on his contentious plan to send migrants to Rwanda. Sunak, in power since October 2022, has staked his political future on the scheme, as Britain gears up for its next general election later this year. Right-wing Conservatives had threatened to kill the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill, but they ultimately backed down and the government won comfortably by 320 votes to 276. The result means Sunak avoids a serious weakening of his authority, as his...

Migrants without proper identification may apparently opt out of being photographed by TSA upon entry at Miami International Airport. According to a sign posted on X by conservative podcaster Dave Rubin Thursday, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is allowing migrants to pass through entry points without having their picture taken.“U.S. airport Non-U.S. Citizen Document Validation Using CBP One Technology,” the top of the sign reads.“CBP One” refers to the mobile application launched in October 2020 that allows migrants to pre-plan their appointments with U.S. customs officials. Last fall, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) records made public by the Center for...

NOW THEY CARE?What a load of manure. Three people drowned the other day trying to cross illegally into Texas. The bodies weren't even cold before democrats seized upon the issue, trying their darndest to make everyone think they care about the lives lost. Rep. Sylvia GarciaI am disgusted to learn that a mother and her two children have needlessly died because of @GovAbbott ’s operation lone star. Make no mistake Governor Abbott is responsible for these deaths. Rep. Henry Cuellar In their classic "ready, fire, aim" protocols, all of the DNC controlled new outlets jumped on the story Of course,...

The escalating crisis of illegal immigration in the United States is not only setting record-breaking numbers but is also adding layers of complexity for legal immigrants aspiring to move to the country. Elon Musk, entrepreneur and tech mogul, highlights the stark contrast between the arduous legal immigration process and the relative ease of illegal entry. The current state of affairs underscores the urgent need for policy reforms to strike a balance between security measures and facilitating legal immigration.

I think I’ve got this illegal immigration thing figured out! The fact that most of our illegals are military aged males seals the deal. The Democrats and deep state Republicans are taking us to war, in Ukraine, in Israel, in Iran, in Africa and most especially in Tiawan with China. It’s good for the defense industry, it feeds their corruption and bolsters political popularity. They need cannon fodder. Americans will not tolerate for long losing their sons and daughters in the neither regions of the world, but when the “Recruiters” for the reestablished draft show up at the immigrant shelters...
