Sweden! One Djiboutian to another, come on over—the living is easy!

You don’t even have to work!

This is another diversity is beautiful report, from Mareeg a Somali on-line news outfit:

According to new report from community organisations in värmland county,85% of new asylum seekers are from Djibouti and Somaliland.

A local Somali source who refused to be named citing security concerns said that, a new wave of Djibouti started to flock to Sweden starting from 2007, this year its estimated that more than 7000 Djiboutians sought asylum in Sweden by falsely claiming that they’re from southern parts of Somalia, particularly lower and middle shabelle regions.

This has led to major problems in the refugee accommodation centers due to the sharp differences in cultures and traditions between Somalis and Djibouti.

Violence occurred due to those sharp language and cultural differences!

Early this year,a Somali teenager from Mogadishu was fatally stabbed in värmland by a man from Djibouti after the teenager insisted that ,the Djiboutian should drink and smoke cannabis outside their shared apartment at refugee accommodation Centre, other violent incidents occurred as result of such misunderstanding and sharp cultural and language differences between the two groups.

According to Eric L, a Swedish social worker in värmland,scores of French speaking Somalis have been noticed in the county which caused major confusion and surprise, since speaking French is uncommon among Somalis from Somalia [but, is the predominant language in Djibouti—ed]. He argued that personally he has been working with Somalis in Sweden for the past fifteen years and never came across such numbers of French speaking Somalis.

Summertime, wintertime, anytime and the livin’ is easy!  Africans! Come one and all to Sweden!

 A Djiboutian who refused to be named in fear of reprisals from his fellow country men, said that he left Djibouti on May this year, and came to Sweden via France. There is no work in Djibouti, corruption is rampant, and its hard to put food on the table there, Life in Sweden is very easy and getting papers is more easier, you don’t even have to work to put food on the table, i advised all my friends and relatives to come here, most of them are on the way, five already arrived and sought asylum, two already managed to get Permanent residence permit (PUT).

Ah, Sweden, that multicultural mecca and its grand experiment with free living for one and all—how is that workin’ out for you now?

Only two weeks after new Australian policy announced,1200 new “asylum seekers” have attempted to come ashore

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

By the way, as is the case worldwide, the majority of “asylum seekers” are in fact economic migrants looking for a better life.  But, they and their human traffickers have latched on to those words “refugees” and “asylum” knowing how most governments are too soft to turn them away.

Only a few weeks ago Australia’s Left leaning leader, Julia Gillard, announced a plan to intercept the illegal aliens arriving in boats and redirect them to Nauru and Papua New Guinea.   But, they aren’t ready to make the big move and actually do it.

From the Whitsunday Times:

MORE than 1200 asylum seekers have been intercepted trying to make it to Australia by boat since the Federal Government announced its intentions to re-open processing centres on Nauru and Manus Island.

Five boats carrying 388 people were intercepted by border protection vessels in the past two days, prompting Immigration Minster Chris Bowen to say it would take time for the new policy to work.

[…..]

The Federal Government adopted in-principle all 22 recommendations made by the expert panel on asylum seekers on August 13.

Legislation was passed in the Parliament that week reinstating offshore processing in Nauru and Papua New Guinea, two of the panel’s key recommendations.

Opposition leader calls the Gillard government out on its lack of preparedness.

Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison used news of the latest boat arrivals and
revelations of a $650 million blow-out in detention centre costs to attack the government.

Mr Morrison again urged to government to implement “the full proven Howard government measures” – offshore processing, turning boats around and temporary protection visas.

He also questioned why asylum seekers were not being sent to Nauru or PNG.

“Last week, Julia Gillard and Chris Bowen again failed the test of resolve on border protection. They refused to ask Parliament to give them the green light they need to send asylum seekers to Nauru and Manus Island for processing.

“Right now they don’t have the power to send them anywhere and it will be another fortnight before they can get this power. In the meantime the boats continue to arrive,” Mr Morrison said.

Yikes! Meanwhile, they are indoctrinating the kids with the diversity is strength mythology!

SBS and Amnesty International take asylum seeker policy into schools.

I had to look up SBS (Seven Billion Stories).  It is some multicultural promotion media outfit.  I assume this program is similar to the one being peddled in the US by the Southern Poverty Law Center, here.

From World News Australia:

SBS, Amnesty International and the Refugee Council of Australia have partnered to create a free school resource pack to promote greater understanding of asylum-seeker experiences.

As the debate over asylum seeker policy and refugee issues is again in focus, SBS has partnered with Amnesty International and the Refugee Council of Australia to deliver a free education resource to all secondary schools across the country.

The Go Back to Where You Came From School Pack provides educational activities that aim to engage students with a deeper understanding of the complexity of refugee life and seeking asylum.

The Left is so good at propaganda.  As a matter of fact, we still see news accounts all the time of that lying “Welcome to Shelbyville” documentary being used around the US.

Australia to take more refugees claiming it will deter illegal immigration….

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

….say what!

It was only a few days ago we learned that one city, Melbourne, is having a heck of a time with increased crime from its refugee population, here.  Yet, in what looks to me to be crazy logic, the Gillard government is planning to become the second largest refugee resettlement country in the world—after the US of course.

Government to people smugglers:  ‘come on guys, we increased the refugee quota so stop trying to make money by shipping in the illegals!’

From The Telegraph:

Australia said it would increase its annual refugee intake by 40 per cent to 20,000 a year, as part of a plan to deter people smugglers.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the rise, which was recommended by a recent expert inquiry into refugee policy, would include the immediate resettlement of 400 asylum-seekers from Indonesia as a gesture of goodwill

“We will be increasing our annual refugee intake from 13,750 to 20,000 places in this financial year,” Mrs Gillard said in a statement. The financial year began on July 1.

“This is a more than 40 percent increase to our humanitarian intake and the biggest boost to Australia’s refugee intake in 30 years.”

The boost, accompanied by a £6.8 million funding injection to regional refugee programmes, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, is part of tough new policies aimed at stopping people-smuggling.

[….]

…the new quota would make Australia the world’s second-largest refugee resettlement country after the United States.  [for new readers: in recent years we’ve (US) taken about 70,000 refugees annually and in addition almost that number have been granted asylum—ed]

Next!  Australia taking refugees from South Africa (the Rainbow Nation!), and they aren’t the persecuted whites!

Oh, and one more thing, for all of you who say from time to time, I’m moving to Australia, forget it!

Greece tries to stem the “invasion” tide by rounding up illegals for deportation

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees objects of course.

This is the story from the Christian Science Monitor  (Hat tip: Richard Falknor at Blue Ridge Forum):

Authorities in Greece are rounding up thousands of suspected illegal immigrants in a large-scale deportation drive to combat what a government official compared to a prehistoric invasion.

Greece has long been Europe’s main entry point for illegal immigrants from Asia and Africa seeking a better life in the West. But Greece’s severe economic problems and high unemployment are making the problem worse than ever.

Police said Monday that 6,000 people were detained over the weekend in Athens in a massive operation incongruously named after the ancient Greek god of hospitality, Zeus Xenios.

Keep in mind that the UNHCR is a socialist, here.

Left-wing opposition parties criticized the crackdown, while the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees voiced concern that migrants from war-torn countries and genuine asylum-seekers could be denied the right of protection.

Some 100,000 illegal immigrants are estimated to slip into Greece every year, mostly from neighboring Turkey, and up to a million are believed to live in Greece, which has an official population of about 10 million.

Think about it!  One-tenth of the Greek population is made up of illegal aliens!  No wonder they are broke!

What is wrong with this?

Once beyond the pale of Greek politics, the extreme right Golden Dawn gained nearly 7 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections six weeks ago. Mainstream parties also pledged to curtail immigrant flows.

Public Order Minister Nikos Dendias said Monday the rounding-up of illegal immigrants would continue, arguing that their unchecked entry has brought Greece “to the brink of collapse.”

“The country is being lost,” he told private Skai TV. “What is happening now is (Greece’s) greatest invasion ever. Since the Dorian invasion some 3,000 years ago, the country has never received such a flow of immigration.”

Ancient tradition linked the invasion of Greek-speaking Dorian tribes with the end of the heroic Mycenaean age, although historians believe that the Mycenaean palatial civilization was brought down by financial and social unrest.

That last made me laugh.  By using the phrase “although historians believe” the writer suggests there is no connection between an alien invasion and financial and social unrest!  Seems to me there is without a doubt a straight line connection!

By the way, see UNHCR Antonio Gutteres lecture Europe on “welcoming” the African, here.

Vlad Tepes blog: Norway getting ready to return Somali migrants to Somalia (wow!)

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Well heck, why not!  It was only a few weeks ago we learned that Mogadishu is safe—read all about it here!

We have heard of Canada sending Somali criminals back, but this is amazing for Norway!

Vlad Tepes:

In deepest secrecy, the government has prepared a return accord with Somalia.

It means that asylum seekers from Mogadishu and other southern somali regions can be sent back by force.

Somalis are the biggest group of asylum seekers to Norway. All in all, 1422 asylum seekers from Somalia came to Norway in 2011.

Last week, hidden meetings were held among state secretary Pål Lønseth (Ap) [socialdemocrates] and Somalia’s home minister, Abdisamad Mo’allin Mohamud.

VG Nett [this paper] knew before about the meeting but chose, for reasons of security, to wait with publishing the information until the minister had left the country.
