Scotland’s Pakistani ‘First Minister’ Unilaterally Held Anti-Israel Talks With Turkey’s Erdogan, Against UK Policy.

Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf has sparked a diplomatic row by holding an unauthorized meeting with the Turkish president. Yousaf, roughly equivalent to a U.S. state governor, is a Pakistani-heritage Muslim. He has been pushing the British government to back an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and import thousands of Gazan refugees. Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, nominally a NATO ally, also backs a ceasefire. He has branded the West’s support for Israel against Hamas “barbaric”.

By discussing a ceasefire with Erdogan at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), Yousaf breached diplomatic protocol. Foreign policy and defense are reserved to the British central government. Yousaf, as head of the devolved Scottish government, should not have met a foreign government representative without British government officials present.

With Yousaf’s party being left-separatist, it has long attempted to set up a parallel foreign policy. Foreign Secretary (Secretary of State) David Cameron has threatened to expel Scottish government officials from Foreign Office premises over the Erdogan breach, however.

Yousaf is no stranger to controversy in British politics. He swore his oath of allegiance in the Scottish Parliament in Urdu, the official language of his family’s native Pakistan. He also railed against the number of white people in Scotland while he was the government minister responsible for justice matters.

Even Leftist Governments Around the World Are Moving to Slash Migration.

Leftist governments in Denmark and Australia are adopting a more hardline stance on immigration than many notionally conservative governments. Australia’s governing Labor Party has pledged to cut net immigration in half. Denmark’s Social Democrats have pledged zero net immigration, a.k.a. balanced immigration.

Australia, with a population of only around 25 million, suffered net immigration of around 510,000 in the year to June. The government has conceded the system is “broken” and “in tatters” – blaming the previous center-right government. They say they will reduce it to around 250,000 by June 2025.

There is growing acknowledgment that an ongoing housing crisis cannot be resolved if mass migration continues at current levels.

Denmark, a generous welfare state, is going even further. They aim to balance the number of people entering the country against the number of people leaving, with the government insisting: “If you want to be a party of the working class and middle class, you have to ensure that migration has a manageable level.”

Social Democrat lawmaker Rasmus Stoklund explained his party’s increasingly anti-immigration stance is the true left-wing position.

“The part of society that bears the brunt of unchecked migration is the working-class population that we should be representing,” he said. “It is their children who have to go to schools that experience cultural clashes. It is those people who have to experience the criminality and social problems that follow. The more privileged people in society will only meet migrants if they are the children of diplomats, so for them the issue is not so clear.”

Denmark is also taking radical action to integrate the existing migration background population. Vollsmose, a notorious suburban “no go zone”, is being bulldozed, to help integrate its predominantly “non-Western” residents.

Study: Mass Migration Cost The Netherlands Nearly Half A Trillion Dollars Between 1995 and 2019.

Mass immigration has cost the Netherlands and Dutch taxpayers a staggering €400 billion ($430 billion) between 1995 and 2019, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Amsterdam, who had “access to unique, anonymized microdata from Statistics Netherlands.”

The study, entitled “Borderless Welfare State: The Consequences of Immigration for Public Finances,” shows that migrants took €17 billion more out of the Dutch welfare state than they contributed on average every year for a quarter of a century.

The largest figure was €32 billion in 2016 as a result of Angela Merkel’s open-door migration policies. The money spent on migrants that year was more than what the Dutch government spent on the country’s entire education system.

The authors found that migrants from the Middle East and North Africa never achieve a positive fiscal contribution to the Dutch economy, with migrants receiving significantly more welfare than the native Dutch population. Only Asians offered a small net contribution.

Moroccan nationals were found to cost the Netherlands €260,000 per person over their lifetime, followed by Turkish nationals, who cost €200,000. Other African nationals cost an average €180,000.

Notably, they also suggested the universal claim that “it will all work out with the second generation” does not hold weight. Instead, if people are born into families were produce a negative net contribution, they are unlikely to make a positive one.

The nearly half a trillion euro costs “are mainly the result of redistribution through the welfare state,” the authors argue. “Government spending on immigrants is now above average for items such as education, social security and benefits.”

Migrants failing to make a positive net fiscal contribution is not limited to the Netherlands; on the contrary, Germany is set to spend €36 billion on migrants this year alone, with the French similarly expected to pay €25 billion.

San Antonio Operating ‘Secret Migrant Camp’ With Taxpayer Funds.

Hundreds of newly arrived migrants have been living in a “secret migrant camp” at San Antonio Airport in Texas for more than half a year, according to reports, which found the existence of the facility was kept hidden from local officials in the area despite taxpayers funding its operation.

The camp, located in an empty airport hanger, has hosted migrants bussed to the city from the southern border, with migrants spending anywhere between hours and even days in the facility. It is believed up to 400 migrants sleep in the hangar every evening, including women and children.

San Antonio city, although long having guarded the secret of its existence closely, admitted to the Daily Mail that it has been managing the facility since May. It refused to reveal how much money has been spent on the facility.

The hanger is run by the charity Interfaith Welcome Coalition (IWC), which describes itself as a “faith-based movement meeting the changing needs of asylum seekers, refugees and at-risk immigrants in collaboration with others.”

Tori Salas, the coordinating director of the IWC, claims the facility is a “hidden area where they take the migrants… basically until four or hours before they fly.”

One San Antonio City Councillor, Marc Whyte, told the newspaper the city council never authorized those in charge of the hanger to use public funds. “When I found out about this, I lost my mind,” Whyte stated.

“What the hell is going on next to the airport? Any expansion of migrant holding facilities I, of course, am adamantly against,” he added.

NYC Will Spend $4.3 BILLION on Hotels & Services for Migrants This Year.

Spending on hotels and other services for migrants in New York City will hit $4.3 billion by the end of 2023. This is an increase of 48 percent on earlier estimates.

Democrat Mayor Eric Adams and the city government have been reluctant to provide a breakdown of the spending. Its contract with the Roosevelt Hotel, now a major migrant processing facility, has only recently been released. Key details are redacted, such as the amount the city is paying “per room per day”. The city claims this is a “trade secret” – despite the fact hotels advertise their rates publicly.

The contract was made through a city-controlled Health and Hospitals Corp rather than a bona fide city agency. This allowed the contract to escape comptroller scrutiny.

In terms of known costs, the Floyd Bennett Field migrant camp is already costing $1.7 million a month. This includes the cost of ferrying minors to subway stops by bus and providing them with city-funded MetroCards, so they can attend school. There are only around 195 minors in the camp, but transport costs will hit $625,000 by the end of 2023.

Foreign-Born Population Swells to 49.5 Million Under Biden.

The foreign-born population in the United States, legal and illegal, has surged to at least 49.5 million. The total number, accurate to October, takes foreigners to their highest share of the U.S. population since records began.

The foreign-born population has increased by 4.5 million since Joe Biden was inaugurated, meaning foreigners now account for a greater share of the U.S. population than 25 individual U.S. states. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which compiled the figures, believes 2.5 million of these 4.5 million were illegal immigrants.

Importantly, the 4.5 million increase is a net figure, with emigration and deaths among foreign residents subtracted from total arrivals.

Joe Biden appears to be accelerating mass migration even faster than his former boss, Barack Obama. Under the 44th President, whose own father was a Kenyan non-citizen, the foreign-born population grew by 68,000 a month. Biden has increased this to 137,000 a month.

Under Donald Trump, the increase was much lower, at 42,000 a month.

“[Fifteen] percent of the U.S. population is now foreign-born – the largest share on record. The prior record was 14.8 percent, 133 years ago in 1890,” the CIS noted in its report.

“If legal and illegal immigration were to continue at the current level, we project that the total foreign-born population will reach nearly 59 million and 17.3 percent of [the] population by the end of Biden’s second term in December 2028,” they added.

‘Irish Lives Matter’ Graffiti Treated As ‘Hate Incident’.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland is treating graffiti in West Belfast reading “Irish Lives Matter” as a hate incident. Signs declaring residents “will no longer accept the re-housing of illegal immigrants” were erected on Tuesday in the neighborhood. The graffiti appeared shortly there-after according to reports.

“We are treating the matter as a hate incident,” said Inspector Andrew Matson. “Our local Neighbourhood Policing Team have been undertaking enquiries in the area and anyone who has any information in regard to the erection of the notices is asked to contact police,” he added.

Gerry Carroll, who represents West Belfast in the Northern Ireland Assembly, called the graffiti “racist poison.”

Northern Ireland falls under the UK’s immigration laws, but the Republic of Ireland – which is most of the island – does not. Last week, citizens of the Republic rioted in Dublin after a migrant stabbed a five-year-old boy, a five-year-old girl, a six-year-old girl, and a woman in her thirties near a local school.

Political leaders have done little to stem the flow of migrants from Africa, Ukraine, and the Middle East into the country, with 125,000 arriving in the last year. “Ireland’s probably one of the worst if, if not the worst, because the political class has totally sold out,” former Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon said in a recent interview regarding the Irish government’s embrace of open border policies.

Bannon said the embrace of mass third-world immigration by European Union member states has sparked a ‘backlash’ among native Europeans as they increasingly realize they’re being displaced in their own countries. As to the motivations of the European political elite, he said: “The Germans and the people in Brussels, the Party of Davos, just doesn’t think the working class European population is very controllable. They think they’re dangerous.”

Britain Has ‘Lost’ 17,000 ‘Asylum Seekers’.

More than 17,000 asylum seekers, whose claims have been withdrawn, are unaccounted for according to Britain’s Home Office (interior ministry). The announcement came during an evidence hearing before the Commons Home Affairs Committee, which has been investigating the significant backlog of pending asylum claims.

The Home Office disclosed that 17,316 asylum applications were withdrawn between September of last year and this year, a fourfold increase from 4,260 the previous year. This comes in light of Prime Minister’s directives to clear “legacy” cases, or asylum applications submitted before June 28, 2022, by the end of December. In response to these figures, committee member Tim Loughton asked, “Isn’t it strange that… there has been a three-fold increase (in withdrawals) for undetermined reasons, people magically not going forward with their claims, and where are those people?”

Simon Ridley, the interim second permanent secretary at the Home Office replied, “In most cases, I don’t know where those people are.”

When pressed for clarification, Ridley further admitted, “I don’t think we know where all those people are, no.” As of October 29, the backlog of pending asylum applications, not individuals, was at 122,585, down 12 percent from a record 138,782 at the end of February. The “legacy” backlog stood at 33,253, nearly half of 62,157 on July 30.

New Details About Ireland’s Child Stabber: Evaded MULTIPLE Deportation Orders With Help of NGOs.

The primary suspect in a recent violent stabbing incident in Dublin was revealed to have had his state residency application supported by two as yet unnamed non-governmental organizations (NGOs) despite having been subject to multiple judicial rulings ordering his immediate removal.

Court records obtained by Ireland’s ‘Gript Media’ show the individual – who is still hospitalized in “grave condition” and therefore cannot be arrested and therefore also not named – arrived in Ireland in August 1999. He claimed asylum claiming fear of torture from an Islamic militant group if returned to his native Algeria. Despite consistent refusal of applications and a deportation order in 2003, the suspect did not arrange his departure and was classified as an evader by Irish authorities.

The suspect then enlisted the help of two NGOs working in the asylum sector, who assisted across several unsuccessful court applications between 2003 and 2004. With their help, another application was submitted, claiming physical and psychological evidence of alleged torture in Algeria. State opposition pointed to inconsistencies in the suspect’s case, with no new facts presented. The court application was denied and the deportation order was upheld.

The suspect then continued to live in Ireland with an unexecuted deportation order, continuing to challenge it with further legal applications, all of which were denied. In 2008, the High Court found that previous ministerial refusal to exercise discretion granting the suspect leave to remain in the country was arbitrary and inconsiderate of updated legal definitions. Subsequently, the Irish state was compelled to grant subsidiary protection and leave to remain. The man later became a naturalized Irish citizen and continued residing in Ireland with the support of at least one separate NGO.

WATCH – Bannon Says Irish Globalists ‘The Worst’ In Europe for Migrant Crisis.

Former Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon told Tucker Carlson he believes the Irish government is one of the worst in Europe at handling the ongoing migrant crisis.

“Ireland’s probably one of the worst if, if not the worst, because the political class has totally sold out,” Bannon said in the interview on X, adding Ireland has received “…125,000 immigrants in the last year.” According to Bannon, the flood of immigrants into Ireland over the past year is comparable to the nine million illegal immigrants who’ve entered the Biden presidency having come in just a single year instead.

The unchecked flow of immigrants from Ukraine, Africa, and the Middle East has put tremendous strain on Irish society. Irish citizens have resorted to blocking roadways in an effort to prevent the government from dropping off immigrants in their communities. Late last week, rioters took to the streets of Dublin after an Algerian immigrant stabbed a five-year-old boy, a five-year-old girl, a six-year-old girl, and a woman in her thirties near a local school.

In his interview with Tucker, Bannon said the unrest seen in Dublin is a “natural blowback” among the Irish working class to the government selling out Irish sovereignty. “The political class is very tied to Brussels… there’s really no true opposition party,” Bannon said, noting Ireland lacks a populist-nationalist party capable of resisting government policies.

The political and social crisis in Ireland isn’t an isolated event according to Bannon. Across Europe, governments are facing increasing backlash for the European Union’s mass importation of immigrants from the third world, replacing native populations. “The Germans and the people in Brussels, the Party of Davos, just doesn’t think the working class European population is very controllable. They think they’re dangerous,” Bannon lamented.
