UK Home Secretary Theresa May defies EU demand to open Britain to more migrants

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Europe is sinking under the weight of tens of thousands of migrants (illegal aliens) crossing the Mediterranean Sea and expecting to be granted asylum in Europe.  Great Britain is a plum designation for many.

As we noted previously, the only way to stem the invader tide is to stop the boats before they launch from the North African coast, and here May says the same thing.

Will this tough policy stand if “Red Ed” becomes prime minister in UK elections tomorrow?

(See what we said last month about “Red Ed” and his brother David Miliband helping to destroy the UK with immigration.)

From the Daily Mail:

Theresa May has rejected demands from Brussels for Britain to take a ‘quota’ of the migrants pouring into Europe across the Mediterranean.

Home Secretary May: these are not refugees, they have paid human traffickers to get them to Europe.

The Royal Navy yesterday finally joined the rescue operation by deploying a warship and three helicopters to help save people making the perilous journey to Italy.

But the Home Secretary told the Mail any decision to accept migrants should be on a voluntary basis rather than one ordered by the EU.

[….]

Mrs May disputed the idea that all the migrants were refugees fleeing conflict zones, arguing instead that many had paid criminal syndicates.

[….]

Jean-Claude Juncker, who heads the European Commission, has suggested that unless Europe’s leaders decide to ‘open the door’, the migrants could try to ‘break in through the window’.  [So the solution is to just open the door to one and all?—ed]

Brussels is arguing that, in view of the mass drownings, every country should take a fixed share of migrants. But, following Mr Juncker’s demand, Mrs May told the Mail last Thursday: ‘Any decisions should be on a voluntary basis. Often, the issue is perceived as being people who are refugees from Syria.

‘Those coming across the Med – they are coming from countries such as Senegal, Eritrea, Sudan.

‘Many will have paid organised crime groups to get them through. It is a different sort of issue from Syrian refugees.

‘If we are really going to stop the people putting their lives in danger by crossing the Med, we need to stop them starting their journey in the first place.’

Former UK cabinet minister: Labour’s mass immigration policy was designed to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

And, now the US has one of the architects of that policy—David Miliband—heading a US refugee contractor the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and demanding that the Obama Administration admit 65,000 Syrians to the US before his term in office ends.

Incredible news from the Daily Mail (hat tip: Joanne):

David Miliband (left) wants the US to take in 65,000 mostly Muslim Syrians into the country before the end of 2016. He and brother Ed (right) helped bring economically and socially destructive mass immigration to the UK.

Labour sent out ‘search parties’ for immigrants to get them to come to the UK, Lord Mandelson has admitted.

In a stunning confirmation that the Blair and Brown governments deliberately engineered mass immigration, the former Cabinet Minister and spin doctor said New Labour sought out foreign workers.

He also conceded that the influx of arrivals meant the party’s traditional supporters are now unable to find work.

By contrast, Labour leader Ed Miliband has said his party got it wrong on immigration but has refused to admit it was too high under Labour.   [The IRC’s David Miliband is Ed’s brother! Their father Ralph was a well-known Marxist—ed]

[…]

Between 1997 and 2010, net migration to Britain totalled more than 2.2million, more than twice the population of Birmingham.

[….]

Lord Mandelson’s remarks come three years after Labour officials denied claims by former adviser Andrew Neather that they deliberately encouraged immigration in order to change the make-up of Britain.

Mr Neather said the policy was designed to ‘rub the Right’s nose in diversity’.

He said there was ‘a driving political purpose: that mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly multicultural’

Is the flooding of certain conservative US Congressional districts with refugees an effort to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity?” 

Check out here at RRW, St. Cloud, MN (Michele Bachmann), Nacogdoches County, TX (Louie Gohmert) and now Spartanburg, SC (Trey Gowdy). Just wondering!

 

Ha! Ha! Bloomberg says the rise of the European right is all about ‘speaking in code’ about immigration

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

….implying that they don’t have a point—no legitimate reason to be scared to death about how Europe is being overrun by invaders (no speaking in code here)?

Hey! Adrian! Those “indigenous workers” you refer to “perceive” more clearly than you ever will! The migrants aren’t after your job yet! Dr. Adrian Pabst at the University of Kent. https://www.kent.ac.uk/politics/about-us/staff/members/pabst.html

From Bloomberg:

(Bloomberg) — Not so long ago, the U.K. Independence Party was dismissed by a future prime minister as a bunch of “closet racists,” Danes were embarrassed to admit that they voted for the anti-immigration Danish People’s Party and France’s National Front finished third in 2011 local elections.

How quickly the tide rises.

This year, UKIP could win about 15 percent of the vote in the U.K.’s May polls, while forcing a national reckoning on immigration. The Danish People’s Party will probably be the largest political party in soon-to-be-announced elections. And polls show the National Front running neck-and-neck for first in the popular vote in local elections that begin March 22.

How in Europe, a bastion of western liberalism, have a handful of stridently anti-immigration and anti-European Union leaders managed to burst from the margins of civil discourse to the gates of political power?

The common threads are a sense of voter insecurity in the aftermath of the European debt crisis, the failure of established leaders to create an alternative vision and, most important, the decision by the extremist parties to begin speaking in more muted language. They rely on code words to evoke surrogate issues such as welfare or national identity.

They criticize immigration, not immigrants. They speak of national values, not of religion. In Denmark, the People’s Party used halal food to raise questions about Danish values. In the U.K., stopping immigrants from perceived abuse of the National Health Service has become an electoral linchpin.

“The change in rhetoric is about getting a mainstream audience and getting a hearing in the media. Otherwise these parties get demonized or shut out,” said Adrian Pabst, who teaches politics at the University of Kent. “There is an active scaremongering, but it’s also a reflection of popular fears and real concerns with how indigenous workers perceive their future.”

Was Jihadi John from a refugee family welcomed by the UK?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

That is a question Daniel Greenfield writing at Frontpage magazine asked yesterday, here.

Based on what we learned about Kuwait’s ‘gifts’ to the UK when ‘Pungentpeppers’ reported on that gruesome murder case recently, if Jihadi John is a ‘Bedouin’ (or is it ‘Bidun’?) his family was likely welcomed to the UK as refugees just like the murderer’s family.

Here is Daniel Greenfield (hat tip: Ed):

The Bidouin were originally nomads who might have lived in Kuwait or Iraq, depending on whom you ask. Kuwait doesn’t provide the Bidouin with citizenship making them stateless. After the Gulf War, Kuwait decided to get rid of more of them for supposedly collaborating with Saddam Hussein. That led to the Emwazi family settling in the UK.

Jihadi John (Mohammed Emwazi), just your friendly Arab next door?

The interesting question is did they come as refugees? Their Bidouin status might have qualified them as refugees in which case that would mean that yet another Muslim atrocity committed against Westerners was carried out by the son of “refugees”.

Here is what ‘Pungentpeppers’ educated us about while reporting on a “refugee” from Kuwait who was convicted of brutally murdering his wife (Kuwait’s Gruesome Gift to Britain: Hajji Wannabe, with Four Wives, Murdered One While Koran Played):

Manaa came to Britain from Kuwait where he had been living as a “Bidun” – a stateless person. Not to be confused with nomadic Bedouin, the “Bidun” (also “Bidoon” or “Bidoun”) reside in Middle Eastern countries without the benefit of citizenship. “Bidun” means “without”; it is shorthand for “without citizenship”. Often Bidun families have lived in countries for generations, but because their illiterate ancestors failed to register when citizenship rolls were taken decades ago, these descendants are denied citizen status. Perhaps eventually DNA testing could establish lineage and rights to citizenship. Meanwhile, some of the “Bidun” take advantage of their unusual situation to apply for refugee status in Western countries where – like this Kuwaiti – they can cause trouble and mayhem.

It doesn’t matter how you spell it, the bottom line is that if Jihadi John is a Bidun, his family very likely came to the UK to benefit from its generosity.

UKIP’s Nigel Farage to speak at Conservative confab in Washington

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I might have to break down and attend CPAC this year, something I haven’t done since Grover Norquist and his sycophants managed to sideline several outspoken critics of the Islamic agenda in the US—an Islamic agenda that depends heavily on the migration of Muslims to America.

Nigel Farage leads the largest UK party in the European Parliament.

And, why do we write so much about Europe’s death spiral?—so that you know what is in store for us if we don’t fight back now!

I expect Mr. Farage will have a warning for us.  For more on UKIP go here.

Here is the story at Breitbart (hat tip: Cathy) about his CPAC appearance, but it was these last two paragraphs I found most interesting:

In a recent interview with Breitbart News on a trip to the United States this past fall, Farage said that U.S. conservatives seem to be going through the exact same problems with the political establishment—especially on the key issues UKIP is winning on in the U.K., including immigration and national security. Farage also said that if the GOP establishment in the United States doesn’t back down and let conservatives control the direction of the party, there may be a need for a U.S. version of UKIP to send the Republican National Committee (RNC) the way of the Whigs.

“I have no idea what the Republican Party stands for,” Farage said in the interview at the Breitbart News Capitol Hill headquarters in Washington, D.C. “I meet lots of individuals within it who want it to say one thing or another, but collectively it’s pretty blurry, it’s pretty unclear. If I was living over here, I would say to myself alright number one we’ve got to reclaim our party–we’ve got to take it away from being safe and establishment, because that way you’re never going to win because the Democrats have certain built-in advantages. If you are unable to reclaim your party, you might have to do a UKIP.”

Conservatives will never reclaim the party when the likes of Grover Norquist and Jeb Bush are prominent mouthpieces for it.
