In 2022, Germany attempted to send nearly 70,000 migrants back to other European Union countries where they first arrived under the Dublin Agreement, but was only successful in just over six per cent of the cases. Germany attempted to return 68,709 migrants last year to other member states under the Dublin agreement which allows countries to return migrants to the first state they filed an asylum application. The number of readmission applications is 62.5 per cent higher than 2021 and a record since 2014 but the number of migrants accepted back to other states party to the agreement was just 4,158, a mere 6.05 per cent of the total, the lowest number since 2014, German tabloid Bild reports . Since 2014, Germany has requested to send back a total of 444,849 migrants to other countries, which includes all European Union countries along with Norway, Switzerland, Lichenstein and Iceland but only 46,838 people have actually been sent back.

Political and media figures in Ireland are demanding that protesting the country’s asylum crisis in front of migrant housing centres should be made illegal. Multiple bigwigs within Ireland’s political and media class have called for ongoing anti-migrant crisis protests taking place in the country to be rendered illegal, reports have indicated. The call represents a desperate attempt to curtail public backlash against Ireland’s asylum chaos, with local communities in a variety of areas across the Irish capital and beyond now frequently taking to the streets around migrant housing to protest large influxes of foreigners into their area, often without any consultation from officials. With Ireland’s political class having so far failed to curtail the protests, there are growing calls to simply declare demonstrations near asylum centres illegal, seemingly in the hopes of crushing the anti-open borders movement. According to a report by Gript Media, senators within the ruling … [Read more...] about Irish Senators Want Anti-Migrant Crisis Protests to Be Made Illegal

Ordinary Americans should pay the $2 billion cost of housing and feeding the economic migrants that New York City leaders are putting into Americans’ jobs and apartments, according to Mayor Eric Adams. “We expect more from our national leaders to address this in a real way,” Adams told a group of Venezuelan economic migrants during a brief Sunday trip to the border town of El Paso, Texas. “Our price tag could be anywhere from $1.5 to $2 billion,” Adams told told a radio interviewer on January 13. On Sunday, job seeking migrants cheered when Adams — a Democrat — told migrants he would fight to ensure that they “experience the American dream.” Outside Sacred Heart Church, asylum seekers overwhelmingly raise their hands to tell @NYCMayor they want to work. Mayor Adams has been calling on the federal government to expedite work authorization for asylum seekers since last year. pic.twitter.com/K4aFYgW8n3 — Fabien Levy (@Fabien_Levy) January 15, 2023 In December … [Read more...] about NY Mayor Eric Adams Wants $2 Billion to Care for Economic Migrants

Game Details Developer: LKA Publisher : LKA Platform : PC Release Date: February 26, 2016 Price : £13.99 / €18.99 / $18.99 Links: Steam | Official website There are times when the horror video game genre still feels like it's in its infancy, a clichéd mix of jump scares, shambling horrors, and gore-soaked scenery that should have long been buried. Sure, we all love the bloody dogs that leapt headfirst through a window in Resident Evil , and how we were forced to dive into a closet to hide from Silent Hill 2's ever-disturbing Pyramid Head, but the world has moved on. People have moved on. Isn't time the horror genre did too? That's not say there haven't been some horror classics of late—the terrifying P.T. demo and the, uh, "quirky" Deadly Premonition spring to mind—but horror games that continue to disturb once the end credits roll are a rarity, not a standard. First-person adventure The Town of Light takes a brave, if under-realised, stab at … [Read more...] about review: A grim and unblinking psychological horror

A record number of around 65,000 boat migrants are expected to cross the English Channel and enter the UK in 2023, government officials have reportedly said. Officials from the UK’s Home Office reportedly expect that around 65,000 boat migrants will land on the shores of Britain this year, a report on Monday has claimed. This figure would represent an over 40 per cent increase on last year’s all-time record of around 45,000 boat migrants, with 2023 already seeing hundreds of arrivals in Dover, located in the south of England. According to a report by The Times ,  government officials appear to have given up any pretence that the crisis will be brought under control this year, with even the most optimistic estimate for boat migrant arrivals in 2023 matching last year’s record high of around 45,000. However, the paper claims that a median prediction of around 65,000 arrivals for this calendar year is deemed to be more realistic by officials, with the worst-case scenario … [Read more...] about What Border Control?
