Narrative Collapse: Mass Migration Not
Driving Economic Growth, Report Finds

Original Article

Posted By: Trapper, 5/9/2024 8:40:45 AM

In a rebuke of the neo-liberal orthodoxy which has dominated both major political parties in Britain, a study has found that mass migration has not actually stimulated the economy and has been a major drag on public services and the housing sector. A report from the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) and co-authored by former immigration minister Robert Jenrick finds record levels of immigration imposed upon the country by the so-called Conservative Party — despite promising the public to reduce the influx of foreigners following Brexit — has not been correlated with an increase to economic growth per capita.

Comments:

The narrative was a lie from the start. No one believed the narrative. So - what is the REAL reason behind support for mass migration? Replacement of White people? Ending Christianity and Western Civilization? All of the above?

" . . . a study has found that mass migration has not actually stimulated the economy and has been a major drag on public services and the housing sector". I don't have a PHD in anything (except common sense) and I could have told you that. We are being screwed by so many people in so many different ways I no longer know which end is up.

So unplanned, uncontrolled mass migration of people that only want to move their little Hades on earth to another location isn't all that great. Guess nobody saw that one a coming.

I love it when the common man on the street prevails in intelligence and the ability to predict the future when the government and smarmy academia go so ridiculously wrong. With the Biden administration we have a lot about which to gloat.

Bringing in large numbers of marginally qualified workers is only going to be a net drain on a society that is highly socialized. If the government is obligated to take care of everyone, then everybody that comes into the country is another obligation. The only way to offset this somewhat is to bring in top tier people that have big earnings and can foment new economic activities and pay taxes. Indeed, that is home immigration is supposed to work; only qualified and self sufficient people can come into the country. The whole idea behind "mass migration improving the economy" is so stupid you KNOW there is another reason for doing it. I wonder what that is? Undermining the government? Big payoffs?

In the late 90’s I read “Alien Nation” by Peter Brimelow. He saw the illegal alien invasion coming. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Brimelow is a white nationalist. As with the NYTimes, if the SPLC says something, it must be true. Right? /sar

Excuse the second post. FTA —- “In 2017, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and former right-hand man to David Cameron, George Osbourne admitted that the party (conservative) leadership never actually had any intention of trying to meet the (reduce migration) goal, with party leadership then and now holding the belief that mass migration was economically necessary.” I believe many prominent GOP politicians who talk about “border security” are also disingenuous.

They do drive economic growth...in the countries they left. Fewer criminals, fewer parasites, fewer people to compete for food and housing. And WE, get the reverse. All part of the plan.

J.D. Vance arrived at Saddle Up Saloon — a Western-themed bar 30 miles outside Manchester — dressed for the part: blue jeans, pale-blue button down and a bright red MAGA hat. As he grabbed the mic and took his place in front of a “Trump 2024” backdrop, he slid seamlessly into a stream of classically Trumpian attacks: on Joe Biden; on the liberal elites who want to send American jobs to China and American troops to Ukraine; on the radical Democrats who allow inflation to wreck the economy and immigrants to flood the country; on the liberal media who lie about it all.

Bianca Jagger just issued a thundering warning about Nicaragua’s human rights abuses: “Just like the Castro Regime did in Cuba during the 1960s,” she wrote in the U.K.’s Independent, Nicaragua has put “harsh restrictions on religious freedom, practices, and church processions. Catholic education has been forbidden.” She even compares the country’s current purge of the Catholic Church “to Joseph Stalin’s purge of religious institutions in the Soviet Union.” [snip] Why do so few Americans pay attention to the horrors of Marxist-leaning regimes?

An online petition is calling for a boycott of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade due to its planned inclusion of LGBTQ+ performers.

On October 7, 2023, the terrorist organization Hamas initiated a series of brutal attacks on the state of Israel that killed more than 1,400 Israelis and left more than 5,000 people wounded.

On the morning of Saturday, October 7, the Palestinian group Hamas carried out a surprise attack on Israel on an unprecedented scale: firing thousands of rockets, infiltrating militants into Israeli territory, and taking an unknown number of hostages.

Terrrible tragedy struck the city of Lahaina on Maui on Aug. 8, with at least 114 dead and 1000 people still missing, including many children. Speaking on Daily Wire, pundit Michael Knowles said that arson is “the most likely culprit … apparently, in the mind of Hawaiian officials.” “For years now, people have intentionally set fires all over Maui. As Maui Mayor Michael Victorino noted just last year, fire and police suspect someone is intentionally setting them. Just a couple weeks ago, Hawaiian police responded to two fires on Maui. One started by an unattended cooking fire, the other, apparently, intentionally set."

Paul Ryan isn’t voting for Donald Trump

Posted by DW626 5/9/2024 2:11:54 PM Post Reply
Paul Ryan must be very confused about what makes a person’s “character” good or bad; according to a new report, the former congressman will not be voting for Donald Trump, because “character is too important” and therefore, he can’t get behind a guy like Trump. Apparently, Ryan intends to write in another Republican candidate, which is obviously a throw away vote and therefore, one less vote against Joe Biden. Funny, because Ryan and all the other RINOs never say a word about Biden’s character, nor are they that critical of his policies. The goal with Ryan and others is to destroy Trump.

The British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca has decided to globally withdraw its COVID-19 vaccine, citing a rare and dangerous side effect associated with the jab.

The paper reported: The Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is being withdrawn worldwide, months after the pharmaceutical giant admitted for the first time in court documents that it can cause a rare and dangerous side effect.

As part of the retreat, Banducci held a rage ritual: a ceremony in which participants scream and beat large sticks on the ground in the woods. Participants are encouraged to think of people and experiences that have wronged them and to scream and swing the sticks for at least 20 minutes, or until they can no longer move their arms.

Bret Stephens warned his New York Times readers on Friday that Presidentish Joe Biden "just made his biggest blunder" when he paused delivery of more than 3,000 much-needed aerial bombs to Israel this week. Stephens is the NYT's Conservativish™ writer, so he must drag his readers to the truth like a dog on a leash when he figures out you're taking him to the vet. That's why Stephens has to include phrases like Biden's "laudable motive" and to remind readers that the absolute worst part is that the suspension is "a political gift to Donald Trump."

The issue arose after Johnston petitioned to have the group moved to more permanent shelters.

So much for a border crisis. The Biden administration recently finalized regulations that will provide taxpayer-funded benefits to individuals who came into this country lacking authorization, by defining them as “lawfully present.” (snip)Apart from the clever way the administration has attempted to avoid legal challenges, the entire premise of the rule seems rather Orwellian. The idea that a president can unilaterally declare a group of individuals “lawfully” present without the consent of Congress defies logic, not to mention the basic principles of “our democracy” that the left purports to care so much about.

Former House speaker Kevin McCarthy said Thursday he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he had made a deal with Democrats to stave off his ouster from House leadership — as Speaker Mike Johnson did this week. The House dismissed a motion to oust Johnson on Wednesday night after Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) triggered a floor vote on her resolution. A motion to table Greene’s measure won support from 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats. Some Republicans have claimed Johnson won Democrats’ support by negotiating the passage of foreign aid to Ukraine,
