Immigration: Issue of the century

Pat Buchanan: 'Do we think the riots and racial wars will stop if more come?'

 

Pat Buchanan was twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the Reform Party's candidate in 2000. He is also a founder and editor of The American Conservative. Buchanan served three presidents in the White House, was a founding panelist of three national TV shows, and is the author of 10 books. His latest book is "The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority."

 

 

“Trump’s immigration proposals are as dangerous as they are stunning,” railed amnesty activist Frank Sharry.
“Trump … promises to rescind protections for Dreamers and deport them. He wants to redefine the constitutional definition of U.S. citizenship as codified by the 14th Amendment. He plans to impose a moratorium on legal immigration.”

While Sharry is a bit hysterical, he is not entirely wrong.
For the six-page policy paper, to secure America’s border and send back aliens here illegally, released by Trump last weekend, is the toughest, most comprehensive, stunning immigration proposal of the election cycle.
The Trump folks were aided by people around Sen. Jeff Sessions who says Trump’s plan “re-establishes the principle that America’s immigration laws should serve the interests of its own citizens.”
The issue is joined, the battle lines are drawn, and the GOP will debate and may decide which way America shall go. And the basic issues – how to secure our borders, whether to repatriate the millions here illegally, whether to declare a moratorium on immigration into the USA – are part of a greater question.
Will the West endure or disappear by the century’s end as another lost civilization? Mass immigration, if it continues, will be more decisive in deciding the fate of the West than Islamist terrorism. For the world is invading the West.
A wild exaggeration? Consider.
Monday’s Washington Post had a front-page story on an “escalating rash of violent attacks against refugees” in Germany, including arson attacks on refugee centers and physical assaults.
Buried in the story was an astonishing statistic. Germany, which took in 174,000 asylum seekers last year, is on schedule to take in 500,000 this year. Yet Germany is smaller than Montana.
How long can a geographically limited and crowded German nation, already experiencing ugly racial conflict, take in half a million Third World people every year without tearing itself apart and changing the character of the nation forever?
Do we think the riots and racial wars will stop if more come?

And these refugees, asylum seekers and illegal immigrants are not going to stop coming to Europe. For they are being driven across the Med by wars in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen, by the horrific conditions in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan, by the Islamist terrorism of the Mideast and the abject poverty of the sub-Sahara.
According to the U.N., Africa had 1.1 billion people by 2013, will double that to 2.4 billion by 2050, and double that to 4.2 billion by 2100.
How many of these billions dream of coming to Europe? When and why will they stop coming? How many can Europe absorb without going bankrupt and changing the continent forever?

Does Europe have the toughness to seal its borders and send back the intruders? Or is Europe so morally paralyzed it has become what Jean Raspail mocked in “The Camp of the Saints”?
The blazing issue in Britain and France is the thousands of Arab and African asylum seekers clustered about Calais to traverse the Eurotunnel to Dover. The Brits are on fire. Millions want out of the EU. They want to remain who they are.
Each week we read of boats sinking in the Med with hundreds of refugees drowning. Yet many, many more make it to the Greek and Italian islands, and thence north to Germany and Scandinavia and the welfare states of Western Europe. Once they step onto EU soil, they are in.
This unending invasion has called into existence anti-immigrant and anti-EU parties in almost every country in Europe. Few of these parties existed at the turn of the century. How does this all end?
“Humankind cannot bear very much reality,” wrote T.S. Eliot.
Is the West still blind to reality, to the inevitable future that awaits if the West does not secure its frontiers and close its borders to mass immigration?
Peoples of European descent, everywhere they live, have birth rates below replacement levels. Yet, most live in the world’s most desirable neighborhoods.
The great and growing populations of mankind are in the Third World. Countless millions are determined to come to the West, legally if they can, illegally if they must. And the more who succeed, the more who come.
Either Western nations take tough measures to secure their borders, or the Western nations will be swamped. The character of their countries will be altered forever, and smaller countries will become unrecognizable. And as this is happening, ethnic and racial clashes will become more common, as they are now becoming across Europe.
“The principle that America’s immigration laws should serve the interests of its own citizens” is paramount, said Sen. Sessions.
Sessions is right. America is our home. We decide who comes in and who does not, how large the American family becomes, whom we adopt and whence they come. It has become the issue of 2016.
Indeed, it is the issue of the 21st century.

Cameron 'will stage a bang the table row with Brussels': Plot to fool voters into thinking he has secured a good deal

• PM will 'choreograph' row to convince voters he's secured good deal on EU
• Argument with French president Hollande expected in following months
• Former health secretary Andrew Lansley revealed plan to business leaders
• Ukip's Douglas Carswell accused David Cameron of ‘cynical manipulation’

David Cameron will orchestrate a ‘bang the table’ row with the French to try to convince voters he has secured a good deal from Brussels, senior Tories have admitted.

Former health secretary Andrew Lansley is reported to have told business leaders last week that the Prime Minister plans to ‘choreograph’ a row with French president Francois Hollande before putting his new deal on Europe to voters in an in/out referendum in the following months.

Another senior Tory said it was vital for the Prime Minister’s talks to have some ‘theatre’ to persuade voters that Mr Cameron had fought hard for Britain in the negotiations, which will be conducted behind closed doors.

David Cameron will orchestrate a ‘bang the table’ row with French president Francois Hollande to try to convince voters he has secured a good deal from Brussels, senior Tories have admitted

‘We have not reached the bang the table moment yet, but it will come – probably at the end of this year or early in the next,’ the source said.

The admissions will fuel fears among Eurosceptics that Mr Cameron is more concerned about keeping the UK in Europe than in securing genuine reform of Britain’s relationship with the EU.

Ukip MP Douglas Carswell accused Mr Cameron of ‘cynical manipulation’, saying: ‘I’m afraid this is exactly the sort of thing we would expect from the sofa gang in Downing Street.

Former health secretary Andrew Lansley is said to have told business leaders that the Prime Minister plans to ‘choreograph’ a row with President Hollande

‘They believe that people are Eurosceptic because they want to be rude to foreigners, and think they will appease them by confecting a row with the French president.’ 

Mr Lansley’s comments emerged in a speech to business leaders, notes of which have been circulated among Tory MPs, The Sunday Times reported.

A source at the event said Mr Lansley claimed there would be a ‘big row with the French’ after next February’s European Council summit in Brussels, at which everything would be ‘choreographed’. 

According to notes of the speech, he said: ‘UK public expectations from renegotiation need to be realistic (and downplayed at the outset) and then be exceeded.

‘Other EU governments should recognise the need for UK “wins”, preferably following some “rows”.’

The former MP, who now works for a PR firm expected to play a role in the referendum’s Yes campaign, said EU supporters would have to use every available method to keep Britain in, adding: ‘For years, many senior Conservatives have defined Europe in negative terms.

‘It will be a dramatic change of gear to say to voters “Europe is in our interests”.’

Mr Lansley declined to comment last night.

Why has Rochdale been placed on the front line of Europe’s growing migrant crisis?

Simon Danczuk MP

Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk has slammed the government’s immigration policy after figures revealed the town is housing almost 1,000 asylum seekers.

The statistics, provided by the Home Office, showed that Rochdale provided accommodation for 957 asylum seekers in the first three months of this year.

This number, the highest among the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester, is more than the whole of the South East of England combined.

Rochdale, which has a population of a little over 200,000, was ranked fifth in the country taking in the greatest number of asylum seekers - just behind major cities Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff.

By contrast, Maidenhead, which lies within the constituency of Home Secretary Theresa May, provides support to just four people seeking asylum.

West Oxfordshire, home to Prime Minister David Cameron’s Witney constituency, has not housed a single asylum seeker since 2008.

Mr Danczuk has called for the increasing number of migrants fleeing conflict and hardships in the Middle East and Africa to be distributed more evenly throughout the UK.

The Labour MP also urged the government to take a tougher stance on illegal immigration.

He said: “The world may be watching the chaos in Calais. But make no mistake, it is Rochdale that is on the front line of the growing migration crisis.

“Our town is up there with some of the country’s biggest cities when it comes to taking in displaced people.

“This disproportionately high number of asylum seekers puts pressure on public services at a time when Rochdale has been hit by major government cuts.

“It is not reasonable to expect our schools and doctor’s surgeries to cope with this increased demand, which also puts a strain on housing and damages community cohesion.

“Meanwhile those areas represented by the Prime Minister and Home Secretary are not doing their fair share to help these vulnerable people.

“The government needs to get its act together and stop illegal immigrants entering the UK and remove those who should not be here by returning them to their country of origin as soon as possible.”

Lord Janner WILL appear in court tomorrow to face child sex abuse charges after his lawyers lost their bid to stop him attending

• Peer is accused of 22 child sex abuse charges between 1960s and 1980s
• He has always denied wrongdoing and says he is too ill to attend court
• Judges today ruled demands of public justice outweigh his human rights

+6

Lawyers for Lord Janner have lost a High Court bid to prevent him having to attend court tomorrow to face child abuse charges

Lord Janner is due to appear before a court to face child abuse charges tomorrow after his lawyers lost a High Court bid to prevent him having to attend.

The former Labour peer and MP was ordered to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London in relation to 22 charges spanning a period from the 1960s to the 1980s.

His legal team says that the 87-year-old is suffering from dementia, and forcing him to attend court in person is unlawful and violates his human rights.

They wanted tomorrow's hearing halted to give him time to seek judicial review of the decision that he must attend.

But they have lost that legal bid, meaning Janner will have to appear before the court in central London unless an appeal can be mounted in the meantime.

Lady Justice Rafferty, sitting with Mr Justice Irwin, said the court had 'unhesitatingly concluded' that the balance between the human rights of Lord Janner and 'the public interest in public justice' came down in favour of Janner's attendance in court for the brief period required by the law.

Janner's lawyer Paul Ozin had argued it was 'barbaric, inhumane and uncivilised' to expose the peer to a court appearance. 

Mr Ozin said there is no dispute that Janner is suffering from such severe dementia that he will inevitably found unfit to plead.

The court heard he is a frail and elderly man who is prone to suffer a 'catastrophic reaction' and likely irritability and anger if he attends court.

'It can be properly be said that it is barbaric, inhumane and uncivilised to expose a very vulnerable person to the experience... Especially when it is wholly unnecessary and serves no logical purpose,' said Mr Ozin.

'We go as far as to say no civilised society should tolerate an approach of that kind.'

Last seen: Lord Janner pictured outside his house in London in 2014. It is said he now needs round the clock care as he suffers from advanced dementia

But despite his pleas, Lady Justice Rafferty and Mr Justice Irwin refused the application.

Lady Justice Rafferty said: 'There has been quite enough sadness, misery and delay attached to all this and so I'm confident parties will read the mood of the court.'

It is barbaric, inhumane and uncivilised to expose a very vulnerable person to the experience

Lawyer Paul Ozin on why the Lord Janner, 87, should not attend court

Janner, a QC, is charged with sex attacks on vulnerable young boys at a children's home in his constituency.

At the height of his alleged crimes, Janner is accused of abusing three victims in a month. Other charges reveal he is accused of preying repeatedly on the same boys over months and even years.

The peer is expected to be committed for trial at Southwark Crown Court where a judge will then decide if he is fit to plead.

If he is not, a jury would decide whether he committed the acts based on prosecution evidence. A defence team would test the case but this would be incomplete as the politician could not instruct them or speak on his behalf.

+6

Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders came under fire for the original decision not to prosecute

If the jury were satisfied that the acts were done, the judge would have three options – a supervision order, a hospital order or an absolute discharge.

None of these amounts to conviction or punishment, but Janner could be moved to secure accommodation if he is found to be a risk to the public.

Janner has always denied any wrongdoing.

Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders provoked fury among when she ruled in April that Lord Janner could not be prosecuted because of his dementia.

But the Crown Prosecution Service said in the june that a judge and jury would conduct a 'trial of the facts' in the case of 86-year-old, although his illness means he likely will not be convicted or punished.

The High Court decision means Janner will have to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court tomorrow

Prosecutors decided 'it was in the public interest to bring proceedings before the court.'

Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders resisted calls to resign over the issue, insisting the decision over whether to prosecute had been 'an extremely difficult and borderline case because of the strong arguments on both sides.'

She said it was 'a matter of real regret' that Janner had not been prosecuted sooner.

Lawyers for Lord Janner said they will not be appealing later today against the High Court's ruling. 

THE ACCUSATIONS: 22 SEX ATTACKS SPANNING NEARLY TWO DECADES 

+6

By Alison Saunders' own admission, the evidence against Lord Janner was strong enough in relation to no fewer than nine victims to place before a court.

The Labour peer is suspected of carrying out 22 sex attacks against young victims, including a girl, who were in local authority care. They allegedly took place over a 19 years and include:

• 14 indecent assaults on a male under 16 between 1969 and 1988

• Two indecent assaults between 1984 and 1988

• Four counts of serious sexual assault on a male under 16 between 1972 and 1987

• Two counts of serious sexual assault between 1977 and 1988

Around 25 victims are thought to have contacted police as part of the investigation. The main claims investigated by Leicestershire Police centre on Janner's alleged friendship with Frank Beck, a paedophile care home manager jailed in 1991 for a string of sex offences.

One of those prepared to give evidence against Janner is Hamish Baillie, 47, who lived in Beck's care home and alleges that at 15 he was molested by the peer during a game of hide-and-seek.

Another complainant who formed part of the inquiry is Ray Dunkley, 56, who said he was indecently assaulted when Janner visited his primary school in 1966 – four years before he was elected an MP.

Since the decision in April not to prosecute Janner, more alleged victims are believed to have come forward, with at least 30 now said to have spoken to police.

Police have launched a separate investigation into allegations that Janner took a teenage boy to Scotland in the 1970s and sexually assaulted him.
