The only way to save Europe is to stop the boats

More Invasion of Europe news…..
David Frum writing in The Atlantic about the invasion of Europe, wraps up an insightful (longish) piece by endorsing the policy of the Abbott government in Australia which has stopped the illegal migration of phony asylum seekers to the country by stopping the boats!

NEW Germans, NEW Italians, NEW Frenchmen aboard!

Is it any surprise that if you let them come, more will come?

The lesson applies to America as well…..
From The Atlantic (Closing European Harbors).  Emphasis is mine:

 Contrast this with the recent experience of Australia. After the Labor government of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced a newly permissive policy toward asylum-seekers in 2008, their numbers, unsurprisingly, soared. As holding facilities filled, Labor leaders moved to reintroduce stricter controls, but public opinion had already turned against them: the party lost the 2013 federal election to Tony Abbott, a conservative who had, among other campaign promises, vowed to crack down on asylum-seekers arriving by boat. Under Abbott’s policy, no unapproved boats would be allowed to land. Period. Boats apprehended at sea would be turned back to their point of origin or towed to uncongenial places like Papua New Guinea for processing of passengers. The government used social media to communicate the new policy throughout Southeast Asia. A YouTube video released in many of the region’s languages warned: “If you travel by boat without a visa, you will not make Australia home.” Since then, illegal boat migration has virtually disappeared.

The policy has been expensive: the government has reportedly spent about $1 billion Australian a year to detain migrants at facilities in other countries. That is a relatively small sum, however, compared with the high social and economic costs over many years—and multiple generations—of allowing large-scale migration by very low-skilled people.

The ocean around Australia is much wider than the sea between Libya and Europe. Yet Australia’s example is promising. Migration follows opportunity. Remove opportunity, and migration will cease. Migrants who attempt to force their way into Europe are, quite understandably, seeking a better life. But the peoples of the countries they wish to enter similarly have a right to do what is best for themselves.

Making a success of the migration that has already occurred will demand tremendous wisdom, generosity, and policy creativity from Europe’s leaders. That challenge will become only more daunting if migrant numbers continue to grow unchecked, thanks to an immigration policy that prides itself on being compassionate, but that in practice perpetuates the darkest and most dangerous tendencies of Europeans, old and new alike.

House Homeland Security Subcommittee to hold hearing tomorrow on Syrian refugee threat

Update June 24th:  The Center for Security Policy filed this report of the hearing.
This is a rescheduled hearing we had been waiting for, here, several weeks ago.

David Gartenstein-Ross of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies will testify tomorrow. http://www.defenddemocracy.org/

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) will preside over the hearing in the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence.  Those testifying about the security risk involved with admitting thousands of Syrians with little documentation include:

Dr. Seth Jones
Director
International Security and Defense Policy Center
RAND Corporation

Mr. Thomas Fuentes
FBI Assistant Director (Retired)

Dr. Daveed Gartenstein-Ross
Senior Fellow
Foundation for Defense of Democracies

It is disappointing that there is no present representative of the FBI as there was in an earlier hearing in February.   The FBI testified then that it was impossible to screen Syrians for security because there were no available records on who they really are.
Members of the Subcommittee are as follows.  If one of these is your representative in Washington, please contact him or her today and tomorrow and tell them no migration of Syrians (they are mostly Muslims) to your towns and cities should be permitted.
(To see where they have been resettled so far this year, go here. And, be sure to see our Youtube video here on the plan to admit 65,000 in the next 18 months or so!)
Members of the Subcommittee:

Majority

Peter T. King, New York, Chairman

Candice Miller, Michigan

Lou Barletta, Pennsylvania*

John Katko, New York

Will Hurd, Texas

Minority

Brian Higgins, New York, Ranking Member

William R. Keating, Massachusetts

Filemon Vela, Texas

* Barletta is an especially good immigration control advocate.

I know many of you think that 65,000 Syrians admitted to the US before Obama leaves office is a pipe dream of the federal refugee contractors , the Senate Jihad Caucus, and the UN/US State Department, but it isn’t.  It could happen, so you must speak up often and loudly!

You know all that low-income housing they are building in middle class American towns, and we are told masses of trailers are being spotted in rural communities—well, what else could they need all that government housing for?  Just saying!
Obama is surely planning to go out with a final blow to America!  And, he knows Congress is a toothless tiger!  This could be it!

Germans welcome their invaders, say Europe belongs to everyone!

Germany Word Refugee Day 2
Thousands of NO Borders activists marched in Berlin on Saturday. Story and photos here: http://www.independent.mk/view_inpictures.php?picture_id=257&

 
On World Refugee Day this past Saturday, demonstrators in Berlin and across Europe welcomed the Mediterranean boat people arriving by the tens of thousands from Libya and elsewhere in North Africa and the Middle East.  Come on in!  We think all borders should be erased!  Readers, the driving force behind everything we are seeing, including the UN’s pressure on America to take 65,000 Syrians, is the movement to create one big happy (socialist!)  borderless world!
From YahooNews.com:

Berlin (AFP) – Some 1,800 people took to the streets of Berlin on Saturday to express their solidarity with migrants seeking refuge in Europe and against austerity measures in debt-ridden Greece, local police told AFP.

In a demonstration held on World Refugee Day by German opposition parties Die Linke (The Left) and Gruenen (The Greens), as well as several other leftist groups, protesters chanted: “No frontiers, no nations, stop deportation!”

“Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here,” cried others.

[….]

“We are here to save our Europe, which includes immigrants, refugees and Greece. Europe must belong to everyone, not just to the Germans and the banks,” said Luciano Colletta, a 66-year-old pensioner, who stood along with the other protesters in front of the Colosseum.

Leftist No Borders agitators pressure the UK

Meanwhile pressure continues on the UK which has so far steadfastly said NO to large numbers of Syrian refugees.
I had to laugh when I saw this article with a graphic showing that Germany, Canada and Australia have agreed to take many more Syrians than the Brits (agreed to take is the operative phrase because they haven’t arrived in those countries in those numbers yet!).
Conspicuously absent from the graph, however, is the US which has taken less than 1,000.  I guess the British No Borders crowd and their media lackeys don’t want the average UK citizen to know they are not alone in their reluctance to take in Syrians.

More from Twin Falls, ID: Newspaper editor calls me a thief!

Matt Christensen
Matt Christensen, who less than two years ago was the NEW editor of a Montana paper, is now back in Idaho, and has editorialized claiming we posted too much from the Twin Falls Times-News.

Imagine what a nerve we must have struck to cause a newspaper editor in Idaho to spend money and time attempting to silence a citizen blogger nearly 2,000 miles away.

Almost every day for eight years I have researched the Refugee Resettlement Program of the UN/US State Department as a completely charitable endeavor so that just regular folks in America might know what is being done to their communities.
We have been extremely careful to give attribution and urge readers to see the original article when we snip news articles on which we comment.
And now, over 6,600 posts later, along comes an editor of a small city paper who calls me a “thief” in print as if it wasn’t enough to hire an attorney to send me a letter.
Imagine spending even a minute trying to silence a blogger!
What the heck are they hiding in Magic Valley, Idaho?  Maybe the newspaper there should do as much research as I have on how the secretive Refugee Admissions program benefits a few big businesses and then tell Idahoans the truth because they, taxpaying citizens, have every right to know who is changing their communities and why!

WND: Mayors in cahoots with Obama to sign up more immigrant voters

Leo Hohmann at World Net Daily has another good one today!
Regular readers know that Hohmann has been the leading reporter in the nation following and reporting on the Refugee Resettlement Program of the UN/US State Department as well as Obama’s New Americans strategy to diversify your towns and cities using the heavy hand of the federal government before he leaves office!

Boise, Idaho mayor Dave Bieter has made Boise a “Welcoming America” member city. http://www.welcomingamerica.org/get-involved/cities/

By the way, I keep hearing from readers across the country that they are seeing low income housing being planned in their otherwise middle class towns—this is all part of the Obama administration plan (using your tax dollars) to set your towns up for waves of new Democrat-voting migrants even after Obama has left office!
Here is Hohmann’s latest:

President Obama’s making a big push in the final months of his presidency to convert huge numbers of recent immigrants and refugees into “new Americans,” and the mayors of the nation’s cities are lining up to help him accomplish his goal.

They talk about the need for greater “diversity” and the economic benefits that immigrants bring.

But critics say the program is not as much about creating “new Americans” as it is about creating new “voters” who will help re-elect Democrats and institutionalize Obama’s policies on immigration, education and healthcare for years to come.

Obama’s White House Task Force on New Americans is leading the charge, signing up mayors in major cities to further the goal of encouraging recent immigrants and refugees to go through the process of becoming a citizen.

The mayors of New York and Boston have become the latest to join Obama’s diversity program.

Please keep reading, it is a tutorial on what is happening to many of you!  (Including you Idahoans!)
Be sure to read about the role ‘Welcoming America’ is playing.   We first heard about them here in 2013 when the Office of Refugee Resettlement used your tax dollars to give them a grant to tamp down any “resistance” from you (middle class tax-paying patriotic Americans)—you who might put up resistance when your “welcoming” mayor says “come on in” we have ‘services’ and low income housing for New Americans!
Endnote:  I’m still waiting for a wannabe blogger to write a blog and call it ‘Welcoming America Watch!’  There is no greater service you could provide America than taking an hour or so every day to track and report on these change-agents’ activities!  See “big smooch” from Obama to ‘Welcoming America’ founder David Lubell, here.
