Sweden to deport up to 80,000 asylum-seekers

I guess, after having witnessed the clash upfront and personal, they decided multiculturalism is a failure.

And the Danes proposing some changes:

Quote:
Denmark voted in favour of seizing the assets of asylum seekers to help pay for their stay while their claims are processed.

Valuables worth more than 10,000 kroner ($1,500) will be seized by police as migrants enter the country to help cover their housing and food costs.

Dutch cops are policing anti-mass migration comments, even threatening social media users of “sedition” for opposing government policies. The news has emerged after police paid visits to warn multiple people who made anti-mass migration comments on social media, reports DW.com.

Mark Jongeneel, a small business owner in the Dutch city of Sliedrecht, tweeted: “The college of Sliedrecht has a proposal to receive 250 refugees in the coming 2 years. What a bad plan! #letusresist”

Mr. Jongeneel then got a visit to his mother’s house, and subsequently his place of work, from police who wanted to warn him over his comments.

Speaking to DW.com, he described the events: “I asked them what the problem was and they said ‘your tweets.’

“They asked me to be careful about my Twitter behaviour, because if there are riots, then I’m responsible.”

“You tweet a lot,” said the police, explaining: “We have orders to ask you to watch your tone. Your tweets may seem seditious”.

Wow. Is there anyone in our presidential race that dares suggest that mass immigration of muslims might be a threat to our country and that we need to put Americans first and only take those immigrants that can help our country?

Add Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.

Quote:
Presidential candidates Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are demanding a halt to immigration from Muslim nations with jihadist movements.

Their fellow contender, Sen. Marco Rubio, did not call for curbs to Muslim immigration in his live response to the President address on Fox News – a response promoted by Rubio’s campaign.

Cruz tweeted that if elected president, “I will shut down the broken immigration system that is letting jihadists into our country.” Cruz elaborated in a statement:

The President should place an immediate moratorium on refugees from countries with a significant al Qaeda or ISIS presence, such as Syria. I’ve introduced legislation to make this happen; it is not a desired step, but a necessary step for the security of the United States.

Rest of article

Not on the left. Listening to the Dems talk about the issues I am reminded of the famous quote from Churchill, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

They are so scared of offending any minority group(potential voting block) that they're willing to ignore the potential impact their open door policies might have down the road. When those chickens come home to roost they'll figure out a way to blame Bush.

Now Germany

Migrant crisis: Germany moves to cut asylum claims. It will be interesting to see what France and England push back too.

More from the same article:

Quote:
By contrast, in his prime-time Fox News response, Rubio did not call for Muslim immigration curbs of any kind, although he did admit ISIS is trying to infiltrate the refugee program. In fact, Rubio has previously said he’d “hate to use” Congress’ power of the purse to block funding for Obama’s refugee program.

Fox News’ Bret Baier did not ask Rubio about his statements in favor of bringing Syrian refugees into the United States.

Fox News’ Rupert Murdoch is a co-chair of the Partnership for a New American Economy, which has supported Rubio’s Gang of Eight bill and new I-Squared bill – both of which would dramatically expand Muslim immigration into U.S. communities. Echoing the group, Rubio’s campaign theme is “A New American Century.”

As Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz has explained, Rubio’s 2013 immigration bill would have substantially expanded the admission of Muslim refugees. “The Gang of 8 bill,” Horowitz wrote, “created an entire new pipeline for refugees… In totality, [Rubio’s] bill would have created endless avenues for this president to bring in an unlimited numbers of Islamic immigrants from the most volatile corners of the world.”

Rubio’s 2015 I-Squared bill would substantially increase Muslim migration as well.

On Thursday, Rubio voted against an amendment offered by Sen. Paul to pause immigration from more than 30 Muslim nations with Jihadist movements. Both Senator Rubio and Senator Graham – the two Gang of Eight representatives running for President – opposed Paul’s amendment.

Cruz voted for Paul’s amendment, which failed 89-10.

Both Paul and Cruz opposed the Gang of Eight bill which, had it become law, would have issued 33 million green cards in a single decade.
My God. What the fuck is going on in Washington? The Republicans have done nothing but advance the liberal/progressive agenda. The dems call them the party of "no" but wtf have they don't BUT fund every pipe dream bullshit agenda the left has advanced.

The sex attacks that took place in Cologne on New Year’s Eve were simply a “matter of public order” and had nothing to do with the refugee crisis, Jean-Claude Juncker’s inner circle believe.

During the discussion that followed, Mr Juncker’s team stressed “the importance of the Commission's continuing to play its coordinating role and sounding the voice of reason to defuse tensions and counter populist rhetoric.”

Who is it that they need to be reasoning with?

Wouldn't it have been easier to deny the immigration in the first place?

Can you show me a nation that has been rewarded for allowing Muslim immigration?
