“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

For those in denial, an immigrant is just a generic human unit who brings no cultural baggage with him.

It’s commonplace for many conservatives, and others concerned about security, to express alarm about uncontrolled immigration. And while there is an invigorating perennial debate between classical liberals / libertarians and social conservatives about the merits and drawbacks to having open borders, for many, to express too strong a defense of immigration controls—or, worse, ‘repatriation’—is tantamount to racist xenophobia.

We’re here to say that this dismissive attitude—and the general reluctance among policymakers to discuss the socio-economic impacts of mass migration—does a disservice to the many countries that have opened their arms to newcomers. But given recent episodes of crime, riots, and sexual violence, and given the sheer scale of the waves of immigrants now seeking refuge in Europe, we think Europe’s future lies in part with ensuring its cultural survival, which necessarily implies ending immigration.

FINALLY a politician here has told the truth about migration.

It took a speech in Washington yesterday for the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, to tell some home truths.

Justin won’t give up on his poison of choice Identity politics.

Trudeau yesterday in Toronto on the virtues of diversity, multiculturalism, and post-nation states: “So many countries remain trapped in a model where their identity is of a particular ethnicity or language or religion or whatever.”

New rules brought in this year to stem the tide of irregular migrants at spots such as Quebec’s Roxham Road have changed who is coming to Canada to seek asylum and how they are getting here, a Star analysis reveals.

The shift in patterns, critics contend, means that some of the most vulnerable refugees are being excluded from Canada’s asylum protection.

Immigration is neither as good for Canada as recent federal government pronouncements would suggest nor as bad as some critics might claim. The best economic evidence suggests that, in the long run, immigration has limited impact on the average Canadian’s wages or job prospects. Immigration boosts the economy, but it increases our population, too, leaving the average Canadian’s living standards more or less unchanged.

Yet these long-run averages mask the fact that specific policies create winners and losers. A government that ignores the fact that immigration can have costs risks making two mistakes. First, it might uncritically accept the arguments made by those who stand to benefit from immigration. Second, if it does not take the downside risks of specific immigration policies seriously, it might not act to mitigate them.

Germany’s left-wing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has suggested extending the right to vote to foreigners in local elections, including those who may only have been in the country for as little as six months.

It is the RCMP’s most famous outpost, where Canadians and the world have grown used to seeing migrants crossing into the country on foot for protection.

For years, the images of desperate asylum seekers with luggage — and children — in tow walking into Canada and being greeted by uniformed officers have been plastered on front pages of newspapers here and abroad.
