Sanctuary City Mayors from Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Denver and Houston, Demand Federal Bailout


Posted originally on the CTH on November 2, 2023 | Sundance

The hubris here is actually quite stunning.  A group of Mayors from sanctuary cities are requesting that all taxpayers in the USA support them as they try to cope with the impact of mass illegal alien arrivals.  They created themselves as “sanctuary cities” for illegals, now they want everyone to pay for it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York are pressing to meet with President Joe Biden about getting federal help in managing the surge of migrants they say are arriving in their cities with little to no coordination, support or resources from his administration.

The Democratic leaders say in a letter obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday that while they appreciate Biden’s efforts so far, much more needs to be done to ease the burden on their cities.

Migrants are sleeping in police station foyers in Chicago. In New York, a cruise ship terminal was turned into a shelter. In Denver, the number of migrants arriving has increased tenfold and available space to shelter them has withered. With fewer available work authorizations, these migrants cannot find work that would allow them to get into proper housing. (read more)

How about, NO!

Nordic Countries Promise Mass Deportations Re-Posted Nov 2, 2023 By Martin Armstrong

Religious zealots have come out in full force in recent weeks. European nations are now realizing that they made a grave mistake by opening their doors to countless migrants who do not share the same culture or values. Reuters reported that Nordic governments are now planning to deport immigrants who have not established legal residence.

Denmark has only allowed enough refugees into their borders to meet the United Nations quota and has received harsh criticism for not leaving its borders open. “The Swedish government is truly looking at how the Danish government has worked with both fighting organised crime but also on migration issues,” Sweden’s Minister of Migration, Maria Malmer Stenergard said. Finland, Iceland, and Norway have also agreed to collaborate with their Nordic neighbors to purge invaders from their lands.

EU Immigration

This is another issue with the concept of the European Union. Brussels decided that these nations were obligated to allow foreigners into their borders. Nations like Poland and Hungary have been condemned for their “far-right” policies by preventing a mass influx of migrants. Poland’s MP Dominik Tarczynski has been extremely outspoken about forbidding Muslims, in particular, from entering his nation.

Poland has one of the lowest levels of unemployment in the Eurozone, and permitting in immigrants under the guise of “skilled workers” is unnecessary. The European Union is run by the globalist elites who are pushing for open borders. Yet another reason why individual European nations are questioning their position within the union as Brussels is pressuring all nations to adopt their ideologies.

Refugee we are not going back

I mentioned in another article that nearly 70% of violent crime in France is committed by migrants. There are extreme risks involved when mixing cultures that do not align. Henry Kissinger recently came out and said the EU made a “grave mistake” with their open immigration policies. “It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” Kissinger stated. This comes on the heels of pro-Hamas, not pro-Palestine, protests emerging across Germany. In fact, violent protests are emerging across all of Europe. “The Middle East conflict has the danger of escalating and bringing in other Arab countries under the pressure of their public opinion,” Kissinger noted.

We will see more mass deportations as civil unrest grows and countries become serious about securing their borders amid a rise in crime and violent protests. No one is willing to accept the people of Palestine after what happened after Syria. There may need to be negotiations or repercussions for origin countries that refuse to accept their own people back. This will become an extremely hot topic as countries begin to select who can stay and who must leave.

Another Migrant Caravan of 7,000 and Growing, Heading to U.S. Border


Posted originally on the CTH on November 1, 2023 | Sundance 

If it seems like things are rapidly spiraling in 2023, just wait until we get to 2024 – the last year of leftist opportunity to advance things under the cause of crisis while disposable Biden gets blamed.

The massive waves of illegal aliens swarming the U.S. southern border continues.

(Via Daily Mail) – The migrant caravan heading to the U.S. has grown by over by a thousand in just 24 hours, as social media teaches Chinese citizens how to reach the American dream.

Hundreds more have joined the caravan of migrants in Mexico bound north, one of the organizers said, bringing the total number to about 7,000 as the group traveled through the southern state of Chiapas.

Kissinger: Allowing Migrants in Europe was a Grave Mistake


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Where will the displaced people go when their homes are destroyed during this senseless war? No Arab nation has offered to take in Palestinian refugees. They fear the US and West knocking on their door too as the enemy hides behind the civilians. Henry Kissinger recently came out and said that Europe made a “grave mistake.”

“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” Kissinger stated. This comes on the heels of pro-Hamas, not pro-Palestine, protests emerging across Germany. In fact, violent protests are emerging across all of Europe. “The Middle East conflict has the danger of escalating and bringing in other Arab countries under the pressure of their public opinion,” Kissinger noted.

Egypt, Palestine’s neighbor, has made it clear that they will not permit their Arab brothers and sisters to enter. Egypt has deployed troops to its border with Palestine to ensure no one enters.  King Abdullah II of Jordan also said that refugees are not welcome. “There will be no refugees in Jordan and no refugees in Egypt,” the king stated. “That is a red line, because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground,” Abdullah added. He believes Israel is trying to send residents of Gaza toward the Rafah border.

“The whole region is on the brink of falling into the abyss,” Abdullah said. “All our efforts are needed to make sure we don’t get there. We have a common goal to prevent a conflagration in the region,” the chancellor said. “I once again expressly warn Hezbollah and Iran not to intervene in this conflict.”

Now Biden is heading to the Middle East to show others how weak our nation has become politically. Blinken wants to establish safe zones for the Palestinians across the Middle East, but the leaders there are saying NO do not involve us in your war. No Arab nation will open its border to Palestinians, but the West, with a completely different standard of reality, must do its part to accept people who do not fit in their society. And then those same people later chant that they want to see the very nations that accepted them destroyed.

Costa Rica Declares State of Emergency


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Oct 2, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

President Rodrigo Chaves of Costa Rica has declared a state of emergency, but not due to anything happening in his nation per say. People across the globe are passing through Costa Rica en route for the USA as the borders are open to all. Our president is not concerned, but other nations see the threat to national security this presents.

“The people that arrive are passing across Costa Rica trying to get to the United States, basically,” President Rodrigo Chaves stated. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said that border crossings have increased 55% in one month alone, with 84,490 people passing through in August. Migrants are crossing the Darien Gap, a jungle terrain connecting the nation to Panama and Colombia. The IOM believes a quarter of a million people have made their way through this area in 2023. Worse, only 20% of those traveling are children, which means that the women are likely not traveling through either. This is a planned invasion of military-aged men.

The environmentalists are at a crossroads. The mass crossing through untouched land is harming the environment.

Biden met with Chaves in August to discuss the issue. Unfortunately, Biden could not tell Chaves that this is a deliberate attempt to destroy America from within and he has no intention of halting crossings. I also want to thank you for deepening our security cooperation, that’s one of my objectives, and I hope one of yours, including on organized crime,” our embarrassment of a president told Chaves. Biden’s policies are so dangerous that they have caused other countries to declare a state of emergency. Biden and Harris do not care about America.

Trump Promises Largest Deportation in US History


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Illegal aliens are pouring into America from the southern and northern borders. Cities have been destroyed, public places overrun, and local governments are wiping out their budgets to support these intruders. US citizens are beginning to clash with refugees, as was witnessed in Staten Island, NY, when people tried to prevent migrants from exiting a bus. The NYPD was there in full force but was nowhere to be seem when Black Lives Matter was burning down neighborhoods. The migrants are here because the Biden Administration allowed them in. If elected, Donald Trump promises to kick them out.

“One of the most important issues in this campaign is ending the nation-wrecking catastrophe on our southern border,” Trump stated. He says that the invasion as created such a crisis that he would work to secure the borders on day one. “A vote for President Trump means Joe Biden’s horror show at the southern border ends at high noon on Inauguration Day, 2025,” he stated. Trump said he will end every open border policy and follow the Eisenhower Model.

President Dwight Eisenhower implemented Operation Wetback in 1954 to deport Mexican citizens. The term “wetback” has been considered derogatory ever since, but both the Mexican and US government participated. America needed cheap labor during World War II and introduced the Bracero program from 1942 to 1964. Mexicans could work in the US temporarily on short-term contracts. Mexico agreed as they wanted their citizens to return with USD to boost the economy. The US government was unable to handle the influx and this led to the El Paso incident where Border Patrol simply opened the borders with Texas. Two million Mexicans applied for the Bracero program but 70% were denied.

Mexico was facing a time of political instability and extreme poverty. No one wanted to return to Mexico with their dollars, angering the Mexican government, and a portion were there illegally without a contract. The US and Mexican governments collaborated on Operation Wetback in June 1954. The goal was to deport as many people as possible with little to no processing time. Numerous planes, buses, and boats descended on the US and brought everyone they could find back to the Mexican border. The Mexican government then moved these people to a portion of the country in need of labor, primarily agricultural. Over 1,074,277 people were deported back to Mexico.

Human rights groups back then shrieked at the inhumane handling of migrants. In today’s world, the Social Justice Warriors would use their own children to barricade the border to prevent this from taking place. But there is no alternative. South Korea recently implemented a less extreme mass deportation strategy that was successful. There are estimates that over 3 million illegals have entered the nation under Biden, and they’re not here to work in the fields. Trump has long touted the importance of securing the border and perhaps now others will listen.

Meloni Responds to Migrant Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Sep 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni announced that Italy will begin cracking down on illegal immigration in the wake of the Lampedusa invasion. The small fishing island of Lampedusa in Sicily has seen its population double this month after countless African migrants arrived on shore. Meloni promised a tough stance on migration during her campaign yet illegal immigration to Italy has doubled in the past year. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen went to Sicily with Meloni to discuss the situation.

To curtail the flow of refugees, the Italian government will not detain illegal migrants for up to 18 months. “We will decide who comes to the European Union, and under what circumstances. Not the smugglers,” Von der Leyen said. The EU under former German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened up the floodgates of refugees many years ago when claiming Europe was a safe haven for asylum seekers. People from throughout the second and third world have since found their way to Europe. Other EU nations are looking at the situation in Italy and realizing their borders will be next.

French interior minister Gerald Darmanin said that it is France’s responsibility to “help our Italian friends.” It is also their responsibility to let those wishing to illegally enter Europe that they are not welcome. ‘’Our will is to fully welcome those who should be welcomed, but we should absolutely send back those who have no reason to be in Europe,” he said, noting that there was no particular reason for these people to claim political asylum.

I mentioned that these migrants are primarily military-aged men traveling alone. They are using an old military strategy where they dock their boats in rapid succession to overwhelm the Italian coastguard. There is more to this situation and a reason that the first world is being bombarded with migrants. The Italian Navy may be deployed to guard the waters with North Africa if the crisis worsens. “It does not make sense to trust traffickers, because they will take a lot of money, put you on a boat that is unfit for the journey and once you get here you will be detained and sent back,” Meloni pleaded.

COVID Vaccine Required for LEGAL US Immigrants


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Aug 30, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

There is an uptick in previously dormant viruses. Then again, countless people have entered America at the southern border illegally. Those who wish to come here on goodwill, legally abiding by US law, are forced to undergo a physical examination and receive the following vaccinations:

  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Pertussis
  • Polio
  • Measles
  • Mumps
  • Rubella
  • Rotavirus
  • Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B
  • Meningococcal disease
  • Varicella
  • Pneumococcal disease
  • Influenza
  • COVID-19

So those who want to abide by the book must receive the COVID vaccination. Before May, legal immigrants were required to show proof that they received the full series. Now, they only need to show proof of one vaccine as they want to pile in as many people as possible. Therefore, anyone entering the US must be willing to abide by the leftist playbook of A) receiving the experimental vaccine, or B) breaking the law and therefore voting blue to maintain residency. The only legal migrants not required to take the jab are those under SIX MONTHS OLD. So if you want to become an American, you must subject your infants to a vaccine with known side effects and unknown benefits.

Again, the left is playing dirty before the November presidential election. Title 42 was put in place under Trump at the beginning of 2020 when COVID was thought to be akin to the Black Plague. Title 42 prevented people from seeking asylum in the US and allowed border patrol agents to deport anyone who crossed over illegally. Biden let this protection pass, sold off the materials to finish building the wall, allowed portions of Arizona’s border to be welded open, and removed the border patrol’s ability to expel migrants. It was never about health or COVID, rather, it was all about adhering to authority.

South Korea Handles Illegal Migrant Problem


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Aug 30, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Imagine living in a country where the leaders were concerned about national security? South Korea slammed the breaks on illegal immigration in and forced around 11,000 undocumented illegal immigrants to leave the country. President Yoon Suk Yeol has said that his administration will continue taking “strict measures” to ensure national security.

The 11,000 expulsions happened between June 12 and July 31 amid a 50-day crackdown collaboration between the Korean Coast Guard, the National Police Agency, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and Ministry of Justice. Of the 11,000, 5,282 people were deported, while another 5,476 voluntarily left to avoid further repercussions. The illegal migrants that were forcibly deported may face entry bans and fines depending on how long they remained in South Korea illegally. Additionally, 1,290 employers were fined for illegally hiring undocumented migrants.

“Moving forward as well, we will strive to create a safe society by taking strict measures not only against foreigners who stay here illegally, but also foreigners who threaten Korean citizens’ safety, such as with drugs, or who promote residing here illegally, by helping others find illegal employment,” Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon said in a statement.

Around 37,000 illegal migrants were expelled from South Korea within the first half of 2023. Justice Minister Han implemented a five-year strategy to cut down the illegal population from around 410,000 to 200,000. The Justice Ministry believes 411,000 migrants snuck into the country in 2022 alone and they are taking the issue extremely seriously.

There are methods to legally enter a country, and those methods were respected and understood by everyone up until a few years ago. Now, people feel as if they can enter any country and claim asylum for a free meal ticket. Nations like the USA that have deliberately erased the borders have created a serious national security issue and cities are now attempting to handle the economic ramifications of the migrant crisis. There are solutions if those in power see large-scale invasions as a problem to solve.
