I’ve got a bunch of news items from Europe I thought I would post in a series today. Parts 1 and 2 are here and here.
This story has been kicking around in my list of potential posts for awhile now. It is from the Malta Indendent:
Almost half of those granted new residence permits in Malta in 2009 came from Somalia – 1,447 Somalis were in fact granted residence permits in that year, Eurostat reported yesterday.
There are lots more statistics in this article and it’s well worth reading. It looks like the UK may lead the pack in terms of how soon the country will fall under the weight of needy people—a large number of them Muslims.
The number of new permits issued in 2009 exceeded half a million in the United Kingdom and Italy. These two countries granted 28.6% and 21.6% respectively of the total permits issued at EU level, followed by Spain (12.4%), France (8.3%) and Germany (5.2%).
However, if one considers the ratio between the number of permits issued and the size of the resident population, the highest number of permits was granted by Cyprus (32 for 1000 residents), followed by the UK (10.9) and Sweden (9.8).
Malta is fourth, just below Sweden.
By the way, since Gaddafi is blamed for Malta’s illegal alien population flood, now that those freedom fighting democracy loving Islamists are in control we should see the flow of Africans to Malta decrease rapidly, right? oops! Maybe not! Black Africans are not welcome it seems.
For new readers, we’ve written a lot about Malta ever since we learned in 2007 that the US State Department was busily transforming illegal aliens on Malta to refugees to be resettled by Catholic Charities in your US cities and towns. Search RRW for ‘Malta’ to learn more.
