Thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East are pouring into the European Union from Belarus, a landlocked country in Eastern Europe. The surge in illegal immigration is being orchestrated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who is accused of trying to blackmail the EU into reversing the sanctions it imposed over his disputed reelection and a crackdown on dissent.
Many of the migrants are being flown to Belarus from the Middle East and then bussed to EU borders by Belarusian authorities. The trips are being organized by Belarus’s state-owned tourism agency, which charges migrants between $1,800 to $12,000.
WARSAW, Sept 2 (Reuters) – Poland’s president has declared a state of emergency in parts of two regions bordering Belarus, his spokesman said on Thursday, an unprecedented move in the country’s post-communist history that follows a surge in illegal migration.
The European Union has accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of using migrants from countries like Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a “hybrid war” designed to put pressure on the bloc over sanctions it has imposed on Minsk.
In 2015, Sweden, a nation of over 10 million, saw a record 163,000 asylum seekers, mostly from the Middle East and Northern Africa, which has since posed serious integration issues and economic problems.
While Afghanistan is witnessing an acute humanitarian crisis in the wake of the return to power of the Taliban*, which has prompted hundreds of thousands of people to attempt to flee, Sweden doesn’t believe in a new refugee wave to Europe.
Mikael Ribbenvik, Director General of the Swedish Migration Agency, argued in an interview with national broadcaster SVT that the situation in Afghanistan looks bleak and condemned the Taliban’s attempt at a “charm offensive” in which they promised amnesty and pledged to respect women’s rights.
The US Department of Homeland Security announced on Thursday that border guards have caught a record number of migrants attempting to illegally cross the Mexico border in July, with more than 200,000 individuals stopped.
Speaking at a press conference in Texas, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned that the United States has faced “an unprecedented number of migrants” seeking to illegally enter the country through its southern border.
US Customs and Border Protection data showed that officials caught more than 200,000 illegal migrants during July, continuing the surge in individuals seeking refuge in America that began in 2020 and has grown since President Joe Biden took office.
In Leaked Audio, Biden’s Homeland Security Chief Admits the Border Crisis is ‘Unsustainable’
Mayors of Texas border communities, as well as a prominent family medicine doctor, are sounding the alarm about the spread of COVID-19. They are calling on the Biden administration for help. Illegal migrants are testing positive for COVID-19 as they flood the southern border.
A Rwandan refugee suspected of causing a major fire that ravaged the cathedral in the French city of Nantes last year murdered a Catholic priest in western France on Monday, the interior minister and a source close to the investigation said.
“All my support for the Catholics of our country after the dramatic murder of a priest in the Vendee region,” Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote on Twitter, saying he was heading to the scene.
Emmanuel Abayisenga, the perpetrator, met the Pope in 2016.
Camp of the Saints is no longer fiction. The Biden administration has made it reality along the U.S.-Mexico border. Right before our eyes, the government of the United States is deciding that, in fact, the United States doesn’t really exist at all.
“They don’t have the same way of life as us”: Chaos at the Avèze campsite after the intrusion of a Belgian group of Syrian origin
Morgan Negre manager of the Guinguette in Avèze (Gard) is relieved. After a week of major unrest in the adjoining Du Pont Vieux campsite, calm has returned. But the establishment still remains closed for repair after the forced intrusion of a group of one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty people who forced the access barriers to settle in this small village plot of about sixty ‘locations showing already full.
… The sanitary facilities were cleaned this Friday. “ Everything is ready to reopen ,” says the first city councilor. But first, we will think about making the campsite more secure, to prevent this kind of incident from happening again. “
Landed in large numbers, they sow discord in a campsite in the Cévennes
Morgan Negre, manager of the Guinguette in Avèze (Gard), is relieved. After a week of major unrest in the adjoining Du Pont Vieux campsite, calm has returned. But the establishment still remains closed for repair after the forced intrusion of a group of one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty people who forced the access barriers to settle in this small village plot of about sixty ‘locations showing already full.
The arrival of around sixty cars registered in Belgium and Syrian families turned into a general brawl on the first night. On August 4, meeting in a crisis cell, the town council of the village decided to close the campsite, which is also a camper van Park, in the height of the tourist season. Traditional campers, often regulars, were asked to continue their holidays in more peaceful meadows.
The “Belgian Augustans” occupied the field for an additional day, threatening to camp there and demanding to be “relocated” before finally evacuating. Now it is time to clean and repair before the summer returns to lightness.
Smuggling migrants into the U.S. earns cartels and others involved in the practice as much as $6 billion a year, a senior Homeland Security official told Congress.
That staggering figure is much higher than other public estimates, though experts said they wouldn’t be surprised if the actual amount were higher still.
Gloria Nkechi Onyekweli landed in Tokyo in 2006 with a fake passport in hand and a burning desire to be as far as possible from Nigeria, her home, where security forces shot her fiancé and had begun to hunt for her.
On Friday, she plans to board a plane for Canada, which has accepted her for resettlement after years of unsuccessful attempts to become a refugee in Japan – a country whose smiling welcome of Olympians stands in contrast to its treatment of people like Ms. Onyekweli.
Not a pretty story but Japan is still within its right to deny “refugees.”
As the Biden regime and Center For Diseases Control call for continued masking, forced vaccination, and more for American children and citizens alike, the same government has allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to waltz on in with no questions asked. With a plethora of draconian travel restrictions for American citizens to follow, including the risk of being locked out of your own country for a positive COVID-19 reading on an unreliable PCR test, COVID positive illegal aliens have been freely pouring right in.
Denmark could face legal action over attempts to return Syrian refugees
Denmark’s attempt to return hundreds of Syrians to Damascus after deeming the city safe will “set a dangerous precedent” for other countries to do the same, say lawyers who are preparing to take the Danish government to the European court of human rights (ECHR) over the issue.
Authorities in Denmark began rejecting Syrian refugees’ applications for renewal of temporary residency status last summer, and justified the move because a report had found the security situation in some parts of the country had “improved significantly”. About 1,200 people from Damascus currently living in Denmark are believed to be affected by the policy.
At the beginning of June, we brought news to you about the 3,166% increase in the number of sex offenders caught on America’s southern border. Keep in mind that the more than three-thousand percent increase represented just those illegal aliens the border patrol was able to catch as hundreds of thousands of people from around the world have been pouring into America since Biden blatantly broke American law and opened the border. North Carolina is one of the states that posts people’s immigration status as part of reporting arrests, and July has been another impressive month.
Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has pledged to continue deporting asylum-seekers back to Afghanistan, after a police officer was attacked at a detention center in Vienna.
“I wish the injured policewoman a speedy recovery,” Kurz said after the attack on Wednesday, as quoted by Austrian media.
It’s unacceptable when people come to us for protection, but neither abide by our laws nor accept our values. Incidents like this show why there must be no stop to deportations to Afghanistan.
