During a meeting in Latvia to organize EU defenses, European Commision President Ursula von der Leyen outlines how Russian President Vladimir Putin is to blame for the EU importing millions of Mideast and African immigrants.
It’s not the fault of the European nations their states are riddled with criminal conduct at the hands of migrants. No, it is Vladimir Putin who is to blame. This is the mindset of the European leadership. WATCH:
It was only a matter of time.
The illegal immigrant crisis in Europe is "Putins fault"
Not pathetic EU migration policies Not NATO wars of displacement Not a globalist agenda Not a cohesive EU policy to undermine sovereignty.

Moldova was always important for the goals of the EU elites against the influence of Russia. However, after Georgia rejected the EU manipulation, Moldova became even more important; very, very important.
Moldova is now the frontline battle of the EU Central Bank against pesky Russian ideological intransigence. All your democracies are belong to us, comrade. In the background the EU economies are beginning to quiver, led by Germany.
Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is worried that if Moldova gains EU membership before Ukraine, his battleground position could be compromised. ‘Hey, wait a minute, we’re no more corrupt than they are.’ Ukraine wants simultaneous attention, priority and ascension.
Moldovan President Saia Sandu squeaked a win in her election with the use of overseas ballots. The highly divided Moldovans living in Moldova didn’t support Sandu, but the mysterious Moldovans who do not live in Moldova supported her. The EU leadership doesn’t want too many people to notice that.
BRUSSELS ― The leaders of France, Germany and Poland are converging Wednesday on tiny Moldova to urge voters to keep turning away from Russia and support their country’s pro-EU government.
The Moldovan president, Maia Sandu, and her governing Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) face a critical Sept. 28 parliamentary election amid warnings that the Kremlin is working to influence the result and derail the country’s efforts to join the EU.
“There are those who will try to lead us astray. They have tried before … But the Moldovan people know what is best for them,” Sandu is expected to say Wednesday at a rally marking the country’s Independence Day.
A country of 2.4 million people sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova has become a target for Russian President Vladimir Putin. While Moscow fights a physical war to subjugate Ukraine, it is using using hybrid tactics to try to control Moldova, including large-scale election manipulation of voters.
This week’s visit by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk is designed to help keep Moldova on a path toward EU membership, and to remind voters there’s an alternative to Russia.
[…] Last year, Sandu secured a second term in office in a nail-biting election marred by vote-rigging, including a scheme that saw voters paid to back her Kremlin-friendly opponents. A simultaneous referendum on EU membership passed by a margin of 50.4 percent to 49.6 percent.
In both cases, the votes of the 250,000 Moldovans who live abroad, many in EU countries, formed a key pillar of the liberal government’s support. Earlier this month, Moldova’s National Security Adviser Stanislav Secrieru warned fears were growing over disinformation aimed at the diaspora and even of possible disruptions at polling stations abroad.

USAID (Samantha Power) under the Joe Biden regime was a key player in the organization of the mail-in ballots for Moldova. Imagine that. Now there’s a little problem….
…. USAID and Samantha Power are no longer around to assist with the mid-term parliamentarian elections. I mean, what would it look like if the President was elected, albeit barely, as the Moldovan citizens looked with suspicious cat glances, and then suddenly, the next election didn’t highlight the same result for Parliament? Almost as if something was afoot before.
Hence, Emmanuel Macron, Fredrich Merz and Donald Tusk, three of the consequential USAID beneficiaries, are heading to Moldova to support Saia Sandu. We’ll keep watching.

Ten years ago, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel began the migrant crisis after uttering, “Wir schaffen das” (“We can do this”) and declaring that Germany was a safe haven for all refugees. In a recent interview with ARD, Merkel was asked to reflect on her 2015 decision that permanently altered the European landscape. To the surprise of no one, she feels no remorse.
“It was clear to me that this would be something truly challenging,” Merkel said. She congratulated herself for not using force to prevent refugees from entering. Over 800,000 Syrian refugees entered Germany in 2015 alone. The cultural landscape of Europe is unrecognizable today and budgets have imploded in an effort to maintain the migrant population.
Merkel does have one regret—strengthening the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party. The AfD campaigns on the promise of securing domestic interests first and foremost, which no other political party is willing to do. The people of Germany have turned to the AfD Party at a record pace because they have witnessed the failed policies of recent history, with the migrant crisis being only one of countless variables ailing Deutschland.
Merkel only received 16,233,642 votes during the 2013 election, which was 37.2% of the popular vote of Germany. So the majority of Germans never wanted these policies to start. She assumed she could revitalize the German economy to shift from export-dominated to domestic consumption. That was another failed fantasy, similar to the EU’s attempt to end wars by creating a single unified government. The immigrants, whom she thought would boost the German economy, added to the deficit. She declared that there would be no limit to the number of Syrian refugees accepted, and expected to be honored like a pious deity for her actions. She had no plan or budget for how to accommodate such a large influx of newcomers.
People, mostly unaccompanied males, from throughout the undeveloped world flocked to Germany and spread out around Europe. The majority have never left. Brussels, at the guidance of globalist entities, later forced all of Europe to open their borders. This is a crisis that the continent will be grappling with for years to come, but make no mistake about it—Angela Merkel alone is directly responsible for starting the migrant crisis and permanently altering European civilization.

Poland’s president has vetoed a bill that would extend aid to Ukrainian refugees. Karol Nawrocki, a nationalist conservative, commented that Ukrainians “make the effort to work in Poland” and pay taxes in the country in order to be eligible for support. Nawrocki, whose own party approved of the initial aid to Ukrainians, stated that the current financial package “places us in a situation where citizens of Poland are treated worse in their own country than our guests.”
Over 1.5 million Ukrainians have fled to Poland since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war. Poland has offered every single refugee a taxpayer-subsidized life. Ukrainians living in Poland are eligible for free housing, food benefits, health care, education, child allowances, and more. Ukrainian refugees were often favored for subsidized housing over nationals who may have been waiting years for council housing. Nawrocki stated he was concerned with the 800+ program that provided families with children an 800 zloty monthly payment per child, regardless of income. The president felt that only those working should receive this benefit, but why should the public be paying out this fund at all?
The head of the president’s chancellery, Zbigniew Bogucki, commented that “for Ukrainians who legally work in Poland, reside, run their own business, and pay taxes, there is nothing to worry about.” Despite the similarities in culture, there is a growing discontent for Ukrainian refugees in Poland due to the government prioritizing newcomers. That is how xenophobia traditionally comes about—the last one “off the boat” is seen as the outsider.
Poland created an Aid Fund operated by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) funded partially by the European Investment Bank and the EU, which finances local governments and organizations to support Ukrainian refugees. A €2 billion loan was approved for 2025 through the Aid Fund, including €600 million disbursed by the European Investment Bank (EIB). Assistance for Ukrainian refugees in Poland is estimated to have reached around 15.9 billion zlotys (roughly €3.5 billion) this year.
Perhaps Polish leaders underestimated the duration of the war. The Polish government spent 1% of GDP on Ukraine during the first three months of the war in 2022. Poland has continued to raise military spending and direct aid for Ukraine year after year. Yet, the president has been condemned for taking a “Poles first” stance and tightening its social program. The true nationalists do not believe he is doing enough for his nation, while the others see him as cruel. In the EU, anything aside from unconditional blind support from Ukraine is seen as a selfish act. There is no room for nationalism in Brussels.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz does not have the ability to manage Europe’s top economy. “The welfare state that we have today can no longer be financed with what we produce in the economy,” Merz said in a recent meeting. At the same time, Merz agreed to begin sending Ukraine 9 billion euros annually in addition to all other aid.
Merz tried to claim there would “not be any increase in income tax on medium-sized companies in Germany with this federal government under my leadership.” SPD Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil disagrees, and said that middle and high-income citizens could race an increased tax burden. “I’m not satisfied with what we have achieved thus far,” the chancellor said. “It has to be more.”
Merz campaigned on a platform of fiscal responsibility. Then he left Germany’s borders open and worked to find a loophole in the Constitution to fund Ukraine endlessly without any caps. The German welfare state cost taxpayers €20.2 billion ($23.6 billion) in 2024. Public spending accounted for 49.5% of all economic output in 2024.
Lars Klingbeil stated that Germany’s federal budget will face a €30 billion shortfall by 2027. His solution is clearly to increase taxes. “Especially people with high income and high net worth have to ask themselves: What am I contributing to make this country fairer?” He added: “Most of the time, I see people with very high incomes and very large fortunes making a strong appeal to the whole country that everyone should work harder and longer. But I don’t think that does justice to the pension debate that we really need to be having in Germany.”
Germans have one of the highest tax burdens in Europe. Yet, by 2029, Germany is expecting to take on €851 billion worth of new debt. The war on the energy sector, perpetual spending on Ukraine, and open borders are crippling the German economy. German lawmakers would like to cut back on payments for citizens who spend a lifetime paying into the system. Germany spent 14.8% more in 2024 on an annualized basis on basic income support and nursing health care to the tune of €20.2 billion. Around €11.4 billion of those funds were spent on pensioners and those unwilling to work. In 2025, the nation will spend €43 billion on the citizens’ stipend or Bürgergeld scheme that provides basic income for the unemployed (not including pensioners or those with disabilities).
Merz plans to cut spending for the Bürgergeld scheme. He plans to increase taxation on pensions, although over half of German pensioners currently receive payouts below the poverty line. Merz will place a cap on the amount welfare recipients can use toward housing. While some of these cuts are necessary, Merz fails to acknowledge the elephant in the room—YOU’RE SENDING BILLIONS PER YEAR TO A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT!
Why should the German people be forced to send 9 billion euros to a foreign government annually? The people have been forced to send public funds and soon the people will be forced to send their sons and daughters to fight a unwinnable war. Germany’s leaders have put domestic policies last in favor of globalist neocon ambitions. The nation is already in a recession and the government continues to implement policies that are pushing the nation further into ruin.

A 49-year-old Ukrainian man was arrested in Italy after authorities linked him to the Nord Stream pipeline attack. Authorities believe the man and his accomplices rented a sailing yacht from a German company in September 2022 and managed to detonate a portion of the pipeline. No one has ever taken responsibility for the attack. Sweden closed its investigation in February 2024 after determining “insufficient grounds to pursue a criminal case,” and Danish prosecutors also ended their investigations that same month, although they acknowledged there was “deliberate sabotage of the gas pipelines.” Germany is the last remaining European nation continuing the investigation.
The world initially blamed Russia for the attack, believing Moscow would actively detonate its own pipeline to prevent its top buyer from accessing oil. The motive never added up. Gerhard Schindler, former head of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND), suggested that Russia sabotaged the pipeline to halt gas exports. President Zelensky’s advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said that Russia wanted “to destabilize economic situation in Europe and cause pre-winter panic.”
Russia accused Western actors of destroying the pipeline. “It is evident that executing such a terrorist act required a directive from the highest levels…for the West, that highest level is undoubtedly Washington,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated. Russia’s defense ministry accused the British navy of orchestrating the attack with the support of its US ally.
Putin called the idea of a pro-Ukrainian group orchestrating the attach “nonsense.” “An explosion of this kind, with such power, at such depth, can only be carried out by specialists, and supported by the entire power of the state, which has certain technologies. … The fact that this is a terrorist attack is no longer a secret to anyone, I think everyone has already recognized it. Moreover, the terrorist attack, quite obviously, was committed at the state level, because no amateurs can commit such actions,” Putin stated.
Former President Biden plainly stated that the US “would bring an end” to the Nord Stream pipeline if Russia invaded Ukraine.
The pipeline was Putin’s last and strongest bargaining chip with Europe. In fact, he agreed to lift sanctions ahead of the explosion. The sabotage of the Nord Stream Pipelines was most likely accomplished with US intelligence. There is no possibility that Russia would have destroyed its final lifeline to the European economy. There is a possibility, however, that Europe would have caved and continued purchasing Russian energy. Neocons like National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Victoria Nuland, the Undersecretary of State for Policy, and Secretary of State Tony Blinken openly stated that they did not approve of the pipelines and wanted them gone. The Biden Administration was also keen to carry out the net-zero program and eliminate the world’s dependence on fossil fuels.
Germany consumed just under 20% of all Russian gas exports in 2020. About 50% of all of its gas was coming from Russia. Germany was clearly Russia’s #1 customer. That was why the United States may have taken the initiative to simply blow up the Nord Stream Pipeline without consulting Germany.
“If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be, there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” Biden stated in February 2022 during a joint press conference with former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “I promise you, we will be able to do it.” Radek Sikorski, Poland’s former minister of national defense and EU Parliament member, posted an image on Twitter of the leak with the caption, “Thank you, USA.”
The destruction of Nord Stream came 51.6 years on target with the frequency of the Economic Confidence Model. Could a group of men create an explosion so powerful that it registered as a 2.3 magnitude earthquake? Evidently, this Ukrainian man was selected as the unfortunate scapegoat. It is overtly apparent who had the motive and incentive to eliminate Russia’s top export and bargaining chip.

The German economy contracted 0.3% on a quarterly basis, according to the Federal Statistics Office. Germany’s stronghold on manufacturing is at risk. The government implemented new provisions to bypass the constitution and spend in perpetuity on the incoming war. Spending is up, revenues are down—the German economy is in a recession.
Annual GDP reached 0.2% in Q2, a 0.1% decline from Q1. Around 10% of all German exports are sent to the US, and some are blaming tariffs for the downfall without seeing that the trend was already in motion. Germany’s economy has been in a multi-year downturn caused by ignorant economic policies that directly damaged Germany’s mercantile stronghold in Europe.
Politicians suffocated automobile manufacturing through net-zero regulations. Sanctions on Russia caused Germany to lose 50% of its oil imports. Its willingness to bend to Brussels has reshaped the demographic landscape with a spike in the population due to migration. Lawmakers have adopted a war posture and are pushing to increase military spending while abandoning their austerity policy. Germany may be the wealthiest nation in the European Union, but individual households are not experiencing any benefits. In fact, the average German has far less than those living in countries with a smaller GDP. The cost of living has never meaningfully dropped since the pandemic and lockdowns.
Germany has not experienced such economic weakness since post-World War II. Estimates believe that the economy will decline 0.3% for the year or remain stagnant at best. Manufacturing has dropped 10% below pre-pandemic levels. Construction has shrunk by around 3% in recent quarters due to high costs. Exports, which are 34% of Germany’s GDP, are down as demand from the US and China wanes. If Germany tanks, then the entire European Union will sink, as Germany alone comprises nearly a quarter of the Union’s entire GDP.

QUESTION: I want to apologize and thank you. I thought you were just a Trump supporter, but your warning that his tariffs can send the world into a depression demonstrated not just that I was wrong but that you are a genuinely impartial and independent voice in the wilderness. Here in Europe, for the last six months, the newspapers have presented Trump as the devil with no hope whatsoever. Everything you warned here about our economy with climate change and warmongering is correct. The migrant crisis combined with the economy turning down, you warned, would lead to rising civil unrest here as well. With the wave of layoffs in the auto industry, the German economy is in crash mode, as you had forecast.
A friend of mine has followed you since the 1980s. He has been telling me you were the most honest man he ever encountered, and everything you do is to try to steer the world through this chaos into 2032. I can see by your actions that he has been correct. Somehow, we have to get our leaders to listen.
Where do you see Germany headed now on your timeline?
HG
ANSWER: Unfortunately, it has been preordained that we are headed into a recession in some areas and a depression in others, especially in Europe. Trump will be blamed, as Herbert Hoover was, but in both cases, the trends were preordained. Trump, with the bad advice he has been given regarding tariffs, is likely to end up destroying the Republican Party and the implosion we are witnessing in the Democrats.
The core foundation of the entire European economy is Germany, its richest nation. As they used to say about America, if it catches a cold, the rest of the world suffers pneumonia. They say that behind the headlines of “Deutschland,” it has been structured on the automobile, which has also given rise to dubbing it “Autoland.” German cars have long been regarded as the best in the world. Indeed, Europe’s most prosperous business engine has been relying on automobiles, and the climate change agenda has been like you kill a vampire – driving a stake through the heart.
Volkswagen, Europe’s number one car manufacturer, has threatened thousands of job cuts and potential plant closures in Germany as it confronts unions over inflation. The climate change agenda has had a major impact on lowering demand, and on top of that, they are finding stiff resistance to higher-end electric cars. The current cost-cutting layoffs and proposed German plant closings are sending shockwaves into the global marketplace with worldwide implications. Automakers like Mercedes Benz, BMW, Ford, and other industrial giants are all cutting costs and employees across the country. However, Volkswagen announced layoffs for tens of thousands of workers and is considering unheard-of plant closings. The world’s largest auto parts supplier, Bosch, which is one of Germany’s biggest employers, is also reducing both hours and pay for about 10,000 employees. Even Meyer Werft, the German shipbuilder from the 1800s, also recently needed a US$423 million bailout to avoid bankruptcy.
The economic policies of Brussels have absolutely undermined the entire European economy of the EU. As I have also warned many times, Germany has clung to the old Mercantile economic model, keeping taxes high to prevent inflation and manufacturing products to sell to everyone else to bring home the profits. The auto industry will account for up to 17% of German exports in 2023. The total amount of jobs this has accounted for exceeds 750,000 people. German manufacturing has been unable to recover fully since COVID-19 2020. To this day, it has, at best, recovered to only 90% of pre-COVID levels.
The RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA propaganda of the Neocons has severely impacted Germany with the destruction of Nord Stream. The Government refuses to turn on the second pipeline and instead has forced its economy to suffer at least a 300% increase in energy costs. With cheap Russian gas no longer viable and exports to China declining, the war policies of the EU coupled with the economic crisis created by climate change and the cost of funding unproductive migrants, the prospects for the economy of Europe are pointing toward somewhat hard times into 2026. This will most likely contribute to tensions and pointing fingers at Russia to justify war being pushed by NATO.
In late October, Merceds-Benz reported that group profit dropped over 50% year over year, and Ford announced plans to cut its European workforce by 4,000 as well. Germany has depended more on Moscow and Beijing than all other EU countries. With ministers in Germany calling for Article 5 under NATO for a hybrid attack, they are unquestionably undermining the German economy with all of this geopolitical tension thrust on Europe by the Neocons. NATO is pushing to expand operations to Asia, and this is further undermining the German economy in the long term, transforming China from a viable trading partner into a systemic long-term enemy. No leaders are even interested in peace, and they are just doing as directed by the Neocons and NATO, who have no interest in the economy of the people – only waging war.
This lethal combination means that Germany’s entire economic model is under assault from every direction. Then, the tariffs of Trump’s proposals will be added, which will be the final nail in the coffin of the EU. This hybrid Merchantile Model of Germany no longer works. Germany needs major reforms, and that is not likely with Brussels in charge. This immediate lethal combination with a very cold winter expected on our model warns that Germany is headed into a serious recession for the next two years. Brussels is too interested in retaining centralized power and control over the EU member states, and it is ignoring the ripple effect of the decline in Germany throughout Europe.
THIS IS WHY THEY WILL TURN TO WAR
There is no question that the German economy is going to go down hard as this lethal combination of climate change and migration moves to give a death blow to the industrial backbone of Europe, and the politicians are too caught up in the narrative to question the rhetoric. The French head of state met the Finnish president and the Swedish prime minister, and all that came out of it was defense for war. This was an opportunity to carve a new path, but it was dominated by the Neocon speaking points – RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. Macron only pushed the lifelong dream of Charles de Gaul (1890-1970), which was that France should rise to lead all of Europe – the Napoleon dream.
Macron stressed the need to build a powerful Europe of defense, security, and partnerships, particularly in an international context marked by a multiplication of crises and the continuation of the Neocon theme “Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine,” said the Elysée. They refuse to admit that the Ukrainian civil war was started at the instigation of the West. The solution was clear: the same outcome as the breakup of Yugoslavia into ethnic states. The Minsk Agreement that Merkel admitted was negotiated in bad faith was to allow the Donbas, which are ethnically Russian, to vote on their separation from Kyiv, which was dominated by the old Nazi ethnic cleansing.
Instead of offering any viable solution to the Ukraine War, the leaders kept up this nonsense that Ukraine could actually defeat Russia. I guess they never read the Neocon memo – kill as many Russians as possible until the last Ukrainian falls. The leaders have only stressed the need to step up support for Ukraine with the same nonsense that if Russia defeats Ukraine, they will then turn on all of Europe. This is no longer the 19th century days of empire building, and the Russian people are no longer interested in such a conquest, as Europeans want to occupy Russia.
Macron knows that France is in deep economic trouble as it has one of the highest Islamic populations, about 10%, compared to Germany at 6%. Macron keeps the prowar propaganda claiming that the aim must be thwarting Russia’s war of aggression and restoring Ukraine to its “legitimate rights, which is far from the truth. He added that the important support for Kiev included “strengthening the European defense industrial and technological base, in order to reduce our strategic dependence and reinforce our production capabilities.” Once again, Macron is still pushing France to take the lead and assume the USA under Trump will not support their endless war against Russia.
On Monday, Der Spiegel reported that Scholz made an emergency visit to Ukraine that was a surprise. He expressed his solidarity and promised Germany would remain “Ukraine’s strongest supporter in Europe.” He promised €650m in further military equipment would be delivered in December. This only prolongs the war, for with the German economy turning down very hard, he needs a distraction, which will be the war with Russia. When Biden imposed the sanctions on Russia, and gasoline prices soared, he called it “Putin’s Inflation,” as if the Ukraine Civil War caused the rise in gasoline rather than the sanctions imposed on Russia. Once again, it diverts everyone’s attention from the domestic economic turmoil to international war.
Even when we look at Renault in France, we see next year as a Panic Cycle and a Directional Change. These European leaders are pushing Europe into World War III at NATO’s direction to the peril of the European community. NATO is not necessary if there is peace. This is why they constantly beat the war drums, fearing their funding would be diverted to something else.
Marine Le Pen in France pledged to bring down Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government after he failed to meet her demands on a new budget. Barnier invoked a constitutional mechanism allowing a social security bill to be adopted without a vote, thereby eliminating democracy entirely. This only opens the door to no-confidence motions. Le Pen said her National Rally party would join a left-wing bloc to support dissolving the government. The National Rally is the largest party in the lower house of parliament, making Le Pen’s words something that warrants attention.
Peace is not profitable, and it allows the people to benefit from the private sector – rather than the government. NATO does everything it can to fuel the fire of war to ensure they keep the funding going for their pensions. Until we wake up to the plans of NATO under the entire WEF scam that they will become the military world department under the one-world government of the United Nations.
And then there is the serious threat of Trump’s Tariffs. The entire theory of Trump’s tariffs is off the wall. It has two parts. One is because of the trade deficit trying to bring back manufacturing to America, and the second is to fund the government by eliminating the income tax. Companies left not because of cheaper labor but because of insane tax policies in the USA. Eliminate the income tax, and everyone will move back, and other companies will pour into the USA real fast. This idea that we can fund the government with tariffs as we once did before the income tax sounds nice, but it is not practical. This will lead only to protectionism and retaliation against American companies. This is unnecessary, but Trump is harder to convince than getting Pelosi’s magic stock trading algorithm.

I have warned that there will be an exodus of migrants fleeing the United States for Canada in the wake of Trump’s presidency. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada said that the sheer volume of asylum seekers has spiked to the highest on record, with the number of cases rising from 60,000 annually to 200,000. New figures state that Canadian taxpayers are now on the hook for $16 BILLION per year to fund Trudeau’s open borders.
The average processing time per asylum seeker was once 14 months, but due to the uptick in cases, it now takes about 44 months for one person to be processed. Deputy Chair of the Refugee Protection Division, Roula Eatrides admitted that 70% of the agency’s inventory is around a year old. The extended wait time has provided those who do not qualify for asylum status additional time to linger in Canada.
“The refugee program was never supposed to be a backdoor entry into our country to get a work permit. It was supposed to be there to help those that were fleeing persecution, that had an act of war in their country of origin, and that wanted to save their lives,” said Conservative MP Arpan Khanna. “Marc Miller himself acknowledges that most of these cases are likely going to be fake asylum claims for folks whose statuses are expiring but want to stay in this country,” said Khanna.
Khanna said Trudeau is the “bad actor” that he has blamed for the nation’s migrant crisis The costs to fund these migrants is simply astronomical. Conservative MP Lianne Rood launched an inquiry over the spring that found taxpayers were forced to pay $224 DAILY to fund the newcomers, a price that will only rise as more migrants reach the Canadian border.
The Canadian government spends about $140 daily on shelter accommodations and $84 on food and other expenses. Liberals created the Interim Housing Assistance Program to house anyone who enters Canada legally or illegally, and those 3,800 rooms were said to have cost $557 million annually as of November 2023. That program was intended to be temporary and fails to provide even a fraction of the space needed. Then the taxpayers are also on the hook for healthcare and legal costs. The public offices catering to the migrants must also receive their pay.
New data has revealed that costs per asylum seeker have rose to $81,760 annually. In comparison, the average Canadian earned over $11,000 less per year. If the 200,000 people registering for asylum are granted permission to stay, the total bill will reach $16.35 annually and counting.
