Trump Says US Will 'Permanently Pause Migration' from 'Third World Countries' | ITV News

Nov 28, 2025 | Donald Trump has said the US will "permanently pause migration" from all "third world countries". The comments come after two National Guard troops were shot near the White House on Wednesday.

Specialist Sarah Beckstrom died from her wounds the following day, and 24-year-old Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe remains in a critical condition.

The suspect accused of the shooting has been named as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who worked with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) before the American withdrawal in 2021, who drove some 2,600 miles from the state of Washington, to launch the attack.

After the shooting, Trump said his administration would review everyone who entered from Afghanistan under former President Joe Biden - a measure his administration had been planning even before the shooting.

Trump Vows Crackdown on Immigration and Orders More Troops to D.C. After Shooting

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The president described the shooting as an “act of terror” and “a crime against humanity” and called the suspect, an Afghan national, an “animal.”

President Trump on Wednesday called for a crackdown on immigration and ordered 500 more troops to Washington after the shooting of two National Guard members patrolling the capital and the identification of an Afghan national as the suspect.

Mr. Trump posted a video shortly after 9 p.m. from Palm Beach, Fla., where he is spending Thanksgiving, describing the shooting as an “act of terror” and “a crime against humanity.” He called the suspect, whom people familiar with the investigation identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an “animal” who shot the guard members “at point-blank range in a monstrous, ambush-style attack just steps away from the White House.”

Although many details about the shooting were still unknown by nightfall on Wednesday, Mr. Trump did not hold back. He used the attack to launch a broadside against immigration, saying the shooting “underscores the single greatest national security threat facing our nation” and vowing to redouble his mass deportation efforts.

He said the suspect had entered the country in 2021 as part of a program under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. that provided entry to Afghan nationals fleeing the Taliban takeover of their country after the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops.

“We must now re-examine every single alien who has entered our country under Biden,” he said. » | Shawn McCreesh | Shawn McCreesh covers the White House.

Senior Minister Brushes Off Trump’s Advice to Use Military to Control UK Borders

THE GUARDIAN: Peter Kyle says bolstered Border Force is tackling small boat crossings, as second person is deported ‘under one in, one out’ scheme

One of Keir Starmer’s senior ministers has dismissed suggestions by Donald Trump that the British government call out the military to help deal with irregular migration.

Peter Kyle, the UK business secretary, brushed off the comments, which the US president made on Thursday at the end of his two-day state visit.

Trump told a press conference at Chequers: “You have people coming in and I told the prime minister I would stop it, and it doesn’t matter if you call out the military, it doesn’t matter what means you use.”

Kyle said on Friday, however, the government did not need to call on the armed forces to deal with small boat crossings, hours after the UK successfully deported a second asylum seeker to France under the “one-in, one-out” pilot scheme.

He told BBC Breakfast: “What [Trump] suggested was that the military are used, but we have the UK Border Force. It is now established and has been reinforced and bolstered, and has new powers under this government. » | Kiran Stacey, Policy editor | Friday, September 19, 2025

La Cour suprême américaine rétablit les contrôles au faciès à Los Angeles

LE FIGARO : La plus haute juridiction américaine, dominée par les juges conservateurs, a justifié sa décision par la forte immigration illégale présente au sud de la Californie.

La Cour suprême des États-Unis, à majorité conservatrice, a provisoirement autorisé lundi le gouvernement du président Donald Trump à reprendre les contrôles au faciès de personnes soupçonnées d'être des immigrés clandestins dans le sud de la Californie. Un tribunal fédéral en juillet puis une cour d'appel fédérale en août avaient interdit jusqu'à nouvel ordre à la police fédérale de l'immigration (ICE) d'interpeller à Los Angeles et dans sa région des personnes sur la seule base d'un ou plusieurs d'une série de quatre facteurs. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | lundi 8 septembre 2025

Dix ans après, le bilan amer de l’ouverture des frontières de l’Allemagne par Angela Merkel

LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Le 30 août 2015, Angela Merkel accueillait dans l’euphorie des centaines de milliers de réfugiés syriens. Depuis, l’enthousiasme a disparu et Friedrich Merz prend le contre-pied de sa politique.

Anas Modamani se souvient comme d’hier de ce selfie mythique en compagnie d’ Angela Merkel qui l’a rendu célèbre. Après avoir prononcé le 30 août 2015 la fameuse phrase « Wir schaffen das » (« nous y arriverons »), la chancelière était venue visiter un centre d’accueil de réfugiés dans le quartier de Spandau. Le jeune Syrien fuyant la guerre civile ne savait pas qui était cette dame avenante la coupe blonde. Et, dans son enthousiasme, il s’est photographié avec « Mutti ». « Je suis très reconnaissant envers l’Allemagne. Grâce à elle, j’ai fait des études, étudié la communication, je parle la langue, je me suis fait des amis allemands et arabes, j’ai un passeport et un magnifique appartement à Berlin. »

Ce cliché et la réussite de son auteur illustrent la face heureuse d’un des épisodes les plus marquants de l’histoire allemande. À partir de septembre 2015, sous la pression des réfugiés bloqués à la frontière hongroise, majoritairement syriens, qui souhaitent rallier l’Allemagne via l’Autriche, Angela Merkel décide, pour de strictes raisons humanitaires, de s’affranchir des règles communautaires de l’accueil et d’ouvrir les portes de son pays. Le seul week-end du 6 septembre, 18.000 migrants débarquent via Munich. Ils seront très vite 1,6 million. » | Par Pierre Avril, Correspondant à Berlin | vendredi 29 août 2025

Au Royaume-Uni, Nigel Farage promet un plan pour expulser 600.000 migrants illégaux

LE FIGARO : Le parti anti-immigration Reform UK a avancé plusieurs propositions controversées, dont celle de faire sortir Londres de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme.

Mardi 26 août, à Oxford, en Angleterre, Nigel Farage, le leader du parti populiste de droite Reform UK , qui a le vent en poupe outre-Manche du fait de ses positions très fermes sur l’immigration, a prononcé un discours enflammé pour présenter son plan d’expulsion de l’ensemble des migrants irréguliers présent au Royaume-Uni en cas de victoire de sa formation aux prochaines élections générales. Dans un hangar à avions - tout un symbole - aménagé pour l’occasion, face à un parterre de journalistes et avec un immense Union Jack projeté dans son dos, le tribun, habitué aux marges de la vie politique britannique mais qui se rêve désormais en premier ministre, a notamment dénoncé le «fléau de l’immigration illégale» qui frappe aujourd’hui son pays, avant d’égrainer une liste de mesures pour le conjurer. «Il n’existe qu’une seule façon d’empêcher les personnes d’entrer illégalement au Royaume-Uni, c’est de les détenir et de les expulser», a-t-il affirmé dans une tribune publiée dans le Daily Telegraph le même jour. » | Par Alec Bertin | mercredi 27 août 2025

Spain Is an Example to the World

OPINION : GUEST ESSAY
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Spain is having a moment bucking Western political trends. The country has recently recognized Palestine as a state, resisted President Trump’s demand that NATO members increase their defense spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product and doubled down on D.E.I. programs. But there’s no better example of Spain going its own way than immigration. At a time when many Western democracies are trying to keep immigrants out, Spain is boldly welcoming them in.

The details are striking. In May, new regulations went into effect that eased migrants’ ability to obtain residency and work permits, and the Spanish Parliament began debating a bill to grant amnesty to undocumented immigrants. These reforms could open a path to Spanish citizenship to more than one million people. Most of them are part of a historic immigration surge that between 2021 and 2023 brought nearly three million people born outside the European Union to Spain.

Demand has something to do with it: Like many Western democracies, Spain needs more people. Last year the national birthrate was 1.4, the second lowest in the European Union and well below the 2.1 threshold needed to maintain the country’s population level of around 48 million people. Spain also has a big economy — the fourth largest in the E.U. — fueled by a travel and tourism industry that is brimming with jobs that most Spaniards do not want.

But unlike in other countries, backlash has been strikingly muted. That’s partly because some of these pro-migrant measures stem from society at large. The push for the undocumented immigrants’ amnesty did not originate with the government, tellingly, but with a popular petition that garnered 600,000 signatures and was endorsed by 900 nongovernmental organizations, business groups and even the Spanish Conference of Bishops. The government, in turn, has designed a humane and pragmatic approach, offering an example for other countries to emulate. » | Omar G.

Sunak Accused of Toxic Rhetoric after Warning of ‘Overwhelming’ Migration to Europe

THE OBSERVER: Prime minister makes controversial remarks at Rome conference organised by Giorgia Meloni’s party

Rishi Sunak has been accused of adopting the “toxic” rhetoric of his former home secretary Suella Braverman, after he warned that migration would “overwhelm” European countries without firm action.

In remarks that will further inflame the Tory row over migration that has been raging for weeks, the prime minister said that “enemies” were “deliberately driving people to our shores to try to destabilise our society”.

Sunak made the comments at a festival in Rome organised by the far-right Brothers of Italy party, led by the Italian premier Giorgia Meloni. He said that both he and Meloni, with whom he has been forging a close relationship over hardline migration policies, were taking inspiration from Margaret Thatcher’s steadfast radicalism in their quest to do “whatever it takes” to “stop the boats”. » | Angela Giuffrida in Rome and Michael Savage | Saturday, December 16, 2023

Sunak ist politisch eine Niete. Er hat überhaupt kein gutes Feingefühl für die Politik. Wenn er sagt, daß das größte politische Problem Immigration ist, ist es absurd. Ungleichheit und Armut sind viel, viel wichtiger als Zuwanderung, obschon Zuwanderung wichtig ist. Und was tut Sunak dagegen? Was sind seine Lösungen? – © Mark Alexander

Michael Lambert: Net Immigration Reaches 754,000 as Taxes Are Highest since the 1950's

Nov 25, 2023 | In 2022 immigration into the UK reached 1.2 million whilst 508,000 people left giving a net immigration total of 754,000. This compares with a total 0f 226,000 in 2019 which Boris Johnson promised to reduce in the Conservative Party manifesto. 91% of these immigrants are from non-EU countries headed by India, Nigeria and China.

Jeremy Hunt , the chancellor of the exchequer, in his autumn statement, announced a cut in the rate of National Insurance of 2p which will cost approximately £19 billion. He also confirmed that government departments with the exception of Defence and Health will have their budgets frozen thereby saving around £19 bilion.

Income tax thresholds are also being frozen which will result in most people paying more tax and the Treasury benefitting to the tune of around £10 billion per annum.

This was all hailed as the biggest tax cut since the 1980's and Hunt claimed that the UK economy had turned a corner.

Rishi Sunak has told the Covid19 enquiry that scientist were consulted including Chris Witty and Patrick Vallance before he announced his Eat Out To Help Out scheme which is believed to have been responsible for thousands on unnecessary deaths.

Willy, Vallance and Jonathan Van Tam have all given evidence under oath that they were not advised in advance and would have opposed the scheme had they been asked.

John Anderson Interview : Douglas Murray –Israel, Immigration & Islam

Murray argues that Western Civilisation is being eroded by the collapse of history, faith and moral clarity. This cultural decay, Murray suggests, has been caused by a variety of factors including illegal immigration, secularisation, identity politics and the rise of radical Islam. Nonetheless, Murray is encouraged by the growing support for initiatives like the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) and a common sense middle class who reject elitist identity politics. …

'Outrageous’: Listen to Vivek Ramaswamy’s Controversial Position on Immigration

Sep 21, 2023 | ivek Ramaswamy promotes two controversial policy ideas: stripping citizenship from and deporting people born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrant parents, and taking away voting rights from 18- to 24-year-olds unless they pass a civics test.
