Britain’s Ex-Immigration Minister Admits Migrants Are CRUSHING National Prosperity, Not Raising It.

Mass migration is causing a housing crisis while failing to increase wealth per person, according to Robert Jenrick, who resigned as Minister of State for immigration at the end of 2023. Jenrick, who previously served as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government under Boris Johnson, warned the British government has become “hooked” on mass migration — but it is not improving the economy and amounts to a “betrayal to voters.”

A reduction in net legal immigration “from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands” was promised by Jenrick’s Conservative Party ahead of the 2010, 2015, and 2017 elections, and an “overall” reduction was promised ahead of the 2019 election. The Brexit campaign was also fought mainly on an anti-immigration basis. However, the Conservatives increased net immigration from 196,000 in 2009 to 745,000 in 2022, and illegal immigration is also at unprecedented levels.

“[T]he economic model that we’ve become hooked on isn’t working,” Jemrick admitted. “If importing hundreds of thousands of foreign workers to the UK was a route to prosperity, the UK would be one of the richest countries in the world. Instead, for almost the last two years we’ve had a recession in GDP per capita… I care about the prosperity of our own citizens, not the overall size of the economy.”

HOUSING CRISIS. 

Jenrick stressed that government “modeling of the benefits of immigration has consistently overlooked the fiscal costs arising from pressure on housing, public services, and welfare.” On housing, in particular, he noted that the country currently would “have to build a house every five minutes, day and night, purely to keep up with the level of net migration to this country” — a feat that is not being accomplished, driving up home prices and rents and causing severe shortages of public housing.

The United States also suffers due to dogmatic beliefs that immigration benefits the economy. In early April, globalist media outlet Semafor argued “[t]he border crisis might be a boon for the economy,” citing an economist who formerly worked at Joe Biden’s White House.

The cost of housing, feeding, and otherwise caring for illegal aliens is costing billions of dollars across multiple states, near and far from the southern border.

AZ Governor Katie Hobbs Sides with Criminal Squatters.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs (D) has vetoed state legislation allowing homeowners to have unlawful squatters removed from their property by law enforcement. Senate Bill 1129 (SB1129) would have changed the status quo, which subjects homeowners to lengthy court battles before they can reclaim their property, empowering law enforcement to remove squatters as trespassers swiftly.

Hobbs, 54, argued in her veto letter that SB 1129 did not “respect the due process rights of lawful tenants” and could have “unintended consequences, such as for victims of domestic violence.”

Republican state senator Wendy Rogers questioned whether Hobbs “read the bill.” She said it addressed only illegal occupants, not lawful tenants, and included carve-outs for family members and “anyone with an agreement to cohabitate.”

“The issue of squatters taking over people’s homes is growing exponentially across the nation, including here in Arizona, yet Governor Katie Hobbs is refusing to address the problem,” complained Republican state senator Wendy Rogers.

“If a stranger invades a home unlawfully and claims a right to live there, SB 1129 would have allowed the homeowner to request law enforcement immediately remove that person from the property,” she explained, adding that refusing to leave would have been treated as trespassing.

‘WE CAN SEIZE IT.’

“Criminals are scheming to take over homes that aren’t theirs, posing a threat to the safety of homeowners and infringing on their private property rights,” Rogers said. It is “a shame Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed yet another piece of commonsense bipartisan legislation,” she added.

Illegal aliens have been taking advantage of America’s permissive squatting laws. Venezuelan illegal Leonel Moreno built a substantial TikTok following teaching migrants how to abuse the law.

“I found out that there is a law that says that if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it,” Moreno said in one video. He boasted his friends had “already taken about seven homes.”

Illegal Arrested for Fatal Stabbing at Motel.

Law enforcement in Sumter County, Florida, arrested Ricardo Agustin Lorenzo, an illegal alien hailing from Guatemala, on second-degree murder charges on April 13. Lorenzo is accused of stabbing a man to death at a Days Inn Hotel in Wildwood, Florida.

The suspect is believed to have fatally stabbed Bilder Pablo, also an illegal alien, and subsequently fled the scene. Police arrived on the scene and were able to locate Pablo. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Gainesville, Florida, where he died of his injuries.

After a brief manhunt, Ricardo Agustin Lorenzo was seen walking down Interstate 75 but attempted to flee when law enforcement arrived. He was quickly found hiding in a nearby wooded area. Police were able to take the illegal immigrant and suspected murderer into custody without further incident. At this time, the motivation for the murder is not known.

Lorenzo is currently being held at the Sumter County Jail without the option for bail. In addition, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a detainer request on Lorenzo, meaning they would take custody should he be released on bail or on the orders of a judge.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has encountered at least 145,000 illegal immigrants from Guatemala already this fiscal year, according to data from ICE.

WATCH: Fake Conservative Liz Truss Exposed in Excruciating Interview.

Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss has suffered a serious setback in her efforts to reinvent herself as an anti-woke culture warrior in the United States after her long history of promoting far-left identity politics and mass migration was exposed by journalist Steven Edginton.

Truss, the shortest-serving premier in British history, has been touring U.S. venues, including Matt Schlapp’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), claiming to be a victim of the “deep state” and touting her new book. However, as The National Pulse previously reported, she was embedded in that “deep state” for roughly a decade, campaigning against Brexit and promoting woke holidays such as ‘International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia’ in a variety of government roles, including Minister for Women and Equalities.

Edginton, who has covered the woke takeover of the Civil Service, military, and security services under Truss and the Conservative Party extensively, called her out on this record at length in a sit-down interview, frequently leaving her floundering.

Truss, who now says legal immigration is too high, was pressed on her desire to make it even easier. She was also quizzed on her efforts to promote Antonia Romeo, a senior bureaucrat who regularly promoted Black Lives Matter as well as Non-binary Awareness Day and Trans Awareness Week.

Truss’s actions in government, as opposed to her rhetoric, align with her background as an entryist to the party from the Liberal Democrats. Asked to identify an historic Conservative Party leader other than Winston Churchill or Margaret Thatcher whom she admired, she could only come up with Javier Milei — the current, libertarian President of Argentina.

Bird Flu Found in Pasteurized Milk.

Pasteurized milk from cows infected with bird flu has tested positive for the virus. The troubling disclosure from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) follows the discovery of the virus in dairy cows in at least eight states, infecting 33 herds so far. FDA and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials previously asserted that milk from affected cattle would not enter the commercial supply. The FDA maintains that no risk is posed to consumers as the found material was inactivated.

To date, only two people in the U.S. have contracted bird flu, both in close contact with infected animals, one being a dairy worker in Texas, and the other a prison inmate in Colorado in 2022. Both cases were mild and recovery was swift.

The exact quantity of tested samples has not been revealed by the FDA nor where they were acquired. Testing has been conducted on milk during processing and from grocery stores. The agency anticipates additional test results in the coming weeks.

The FDA used a PCR lab test that detects viral genetic material even after a virus has been killed through pasteurization. Lee-Ann Jaykus, an emeritus food microbiologist and virologist at North Carolina State University, said there has been no evidence of an infectious virus yet.

In addition to dairy cattle, bird flu outbreaks have also hit chickens, with Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the nation’s largest producer of fresh chicken eggs, experiencing an outbreak in one of its Texas production facilities. Scientists have warned that a bird flu outbreak could be ‘100 times worse’ than COVID. Earlier this month it was revealed that U.S. tax dollars are being spent on research in China intended to make a highly transmissible version of bird flu.
