If you haven’t read Mark Steyn’s 2008 ‘America Alone,’ you must. He spells it out in very clear terms. Western civilization is doomed unless people of European descent get busy and start producing large families, now! (I wish I were young enough to help!) But, sadly, in America, and probably Europe as well, many of the well-educated (intelligent?) young people of forty years ago bought the notion that we would be greedy and hurt the planet if we produced more than two children (our replacements!)—less then two and you were a hero!
While the third world never got that message, as you will see by scrolling through this list of World Fertility Rates for 2015 (thanks to Kurt for bringing this to our attention).
It is no surprise that African nations dominate the list of the most fertile! Here are a few selections:
Niger: 7.27 children per family
Somalia: 5.99
Ethiopia: 5.81
Rep. of Congo: 5.31
Those three (Somalia, Ethiopia, and Rep. of Congo) are all now supplying the US with large numbers of ‘refugees.’
From the Middle East/Asia:
Afghanistan: 5.33
Iraq: 3.32
Pakistan: 2.75
Syria: 2.6
Then the US is still holding its own (I expect they are counting our Mexican immigrant fertility rate as well):
US: 2.06
And, here we see why Europe is dying (I wonder if they take into account the African and Middle Eastern immigrant births that would explain France and the UK still sort of up there). Imagine if they only factored in the white European fertility rate!
Ireland: 1.99 (get it up just a bit higher!)
France: 1.94
UK: 1.89
Netherlands: 1.78
Norway: 1.76
Denmark: 1.73
Sweden: 1.67
Spain: 1.49
Switzerland: 1.49
Russia: 1.45
Germany: 1.44 (in deep trouble!)
Austria: 1.43
Italy: 1.43
Poland: 1.34
Check out the whole list here—fascinating!
For the year 2049 they estimate much more reasonable fertility rates, but I don’t see how they get there (perhaps just fabricated to make us all feel better). Remember this guy? He says they are coming not as workers to Germany, but as conquerors to breed with the European women as “Germany is old and decrepit!”
Last week we had the largest Medicaid fraud bust in DC historyand as it turns out earlier in February we were given more details on the massive 2012 Texas bust as that case heads to trial. In the DC case, the ringleader was a woman from Cameroon, and in Texas, 1/3 of the cases involve Nigerians.
Where is David Lubell and “Welcoming America” with his immigrant-entrepreneurs-bring-economic-boom-times to your “welcoming” cities mumbo-jumbo. (‘Welcoming America’ is partially funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlementto get your minds right about the joy immigrant diversity will bring to your town and a large part of their campaign is to convince you that hard-working immigrants are fueling the local economy.)
Readers, increasingly we see home health care businesses listed as one of those economic enterprises refugees and other immigrants bring to multi-culti cities. (Somalis here in St. Cloud!) Now we see why!
Keep in mind, as you read this, that we don’t resettle refugees from Nigeria in any large numbers, there may be some among the asylum seekers, but I would guess the largest numbers are here because they overstayed a visa—student or tourist. Also, know that Nigerians were “winning” the diversity visa lottery in such large numbers that they are barred in the upcoming cycles from that LEGAL immigrant pipeline to America.
Dr. Joseph Megwa’s attorney asked that his nationality and immigration status not be admitted to the court! Photo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2213046/Medicare-fraud-bust-Justice-department-arrests-91-doctors-nurses-430MILLION-largest-case-kind.html
From Dallas News. (Hat tip: the ever-vigilant ‘pungentpeppers’) Emphasis is mine:
Hundreds of North Texas Nigerian-Americans are caught up in the biggest home health care frauds ever uncovered by U.S. law enforcement.
Federal indictments were issued in 2012 against those who allegedly profited the most from half a billion dollars in fraudulent local Medicare billings. But many other Nigerian-Americans living in the area and operating small health care businesses were also involved, federal law enforcement officials say.
Those officials say most of the health care fraud in Texas is committed by Texans with no particular ethnic background. And community leaders insist most Nigerian-Americans in the health care business in the Dallas area are honest.
But law enforcement officials and leaders in the Nigerian-American community describe Dallas home health care fraud as rampant and say a surprising number of the perpetrators — a third of all cases under investigation — involve Nigerian-Americans.
Greed and lax enforcement! And, possibly a cultural predilection?
“It is embarrassing to the Nigerian community that this type of thing is going on,” said Ihekwaba, who is also president of the West Africa America Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Dallas.
“It’s greed. Greed and trying to see the easy way out,” he said. “People took advantage of lax enforcement by the federal government on this issue.”
The FBI says health care fraud is the costliest crime in America. Estimates of the losses to federal health insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid run from $44 billion to $80 billion a year.
Dallas has some of the highest Medicare spending in the nation. While the amounts spent on hospitals, drugs and doctors are not far off the national averages, home health care spending is far above the norm.
Over $100 million in fraud allegedly funneled through Dr. Joseph Megwa.
Between 2006 and 2012, federal law enforcement authorities allege more than 230 Dallas-area home health care agencies funneled patients to Arlington physician Joseph Megwa to approve $100.5 million in care they didn’t need. The owner of the largest home care agency in the case, Nigerian-American Ferguson Ikhile of Irving, has pleaded guilty.
But, LOL! Don’t mention Megwa’s nationality or immigration status because of backlash against immigrants! If the shoe fits!
Last month, Megwa’s attorneys asked the judge in the case to prohibit prosecutors from mentioning Megwa’s nationality or immigration status because of “a backlash in this country against immigrants, particularly immigrants of color and immigrants from Africa, who are charged with criminal offenses.”
Nothing makes Americans angrier than opening our doors to immigrants who then turn around and rip us off! As a matter of fact, we think there should be a law that when an immigrant crook is indicted, their immigration status should be made available to the public, so if they are here legally, we can begin to identify which legal programs need to be tightened up.
The next time one of your pals says, ‘I’m opposed to illegal aliens, but I’m o.k. with LEGAL immigrants,’ know that they don’t know what they are talking about!
The article at Dallas Newsis a long one with lots of details about how the scam is done, so I recommend reading the whole thing.
Netanyahu: They can either go to the new facility or go back to their home countries.
We reported on one of the protests hereon Saturday.
Now The Times of Israel tells us that protests have continued. There were many arrests. The protestors don’t like the new law in Israel that requires that the migrants be detained in a facility each night until their asylum claims are processed, but are free to go wander around and protest during the day. Emphasis below is mine.
Hundreds of African migrants, mostly Sudanese and Eritreans, and human rights activists marched in Tel Aviv on Saturday night shouting “freedom” and “no more prison,” in protest of the implementation of the Israeli government’s policy to detain illegal migrants.
The protesters demanded they not be sent to detention facilities in the Negev and that they be granted full refugee status.
According to some reports, the number of demonstrators reached over 1,500.
[….]
The demonstration came days after migrants staged marches, on two separate occasions, in protest of their detention at the newly established Holot facility in the south.
On Thursday, close to 130 migrants protested the arrests of their fellows, who were apprehended by police during a gathering in front of the Prime Minister’s Office on Tuesday.
[….]
Since last Thursday, 480 African migrants, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, were transferred to Holot, which is located in the Negev desert and can hold as many as 3,000.
On Sunday, 250 migrants fled Holot for a sit-in in Jerusalem to demonstrate against rules keeping them in the detention center. Hundreds of migrants were arrested during the sit-in.
I’ll wager that all this protesting is not winning over the average Israeli.
The fact that the migrants are not happy with the new facility with small dining areas and recreation areas, a bed, food, freedom in the daytime, etc. says to me that they aren’t that destitute and are being egged-on by Leftists—members of the ‘human rights industrial complex’—which are eager to break down borders the world over. Breaking down Israel’s borders would be a real feather in their caps.
The facility has an open-door policy in which residents are permitted to leave the site during the day but are required to return three times for a roll call. The Holot gates are locked between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. every night, during which time all residents must be behind its fences. Around a dozen migrants were to be housed in every dorm room, and each wing, with a capacity of 140 residents, has its own dining room and recreation areas.
Here is Prime Minister Netanyahu, as always, cutting to core of the issue:
“The infiltrators who were transferred to a special facility can stay there, or return to their home countries,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement Tuesday.
