This study in Norway confirms the net negative effect of non-Western migration which is duplicated in studies across the Western world. For example, the Dutch CPO showed that an immigrant that arrives at 25 will have a net negative lifetime cost of €43,000. A Swedish govt. study found immigrants will double the cost of pensions after taking into consideration the taxes paid by these immigrants. And in the US, 51% of legal immigrants and 61% of illegal immigrants use some form of major welfare program. Aside from implementing an immigration moratorium, paid, voluntary, remigration strategies are humane, practical, and fiscally responsible.
New data, never before published in full: Net fiscal impact per household in Norway by country of origin. The numbers are not as good as those from Denmark or the Netherlands. They only include the cost of fiscal transfers, not the cost of healthcare, public schools and so on. So in fact, every group is significantly more fiscally costly than what is show here. But we can still recognize the pattern from Denmark and Netherlands: Immigrants from Europe are fiscally positive, and immigrants from Muslim countries are fiscally negative. But again, the real magnitude of the fiscal cost in Norway is certainly much larger than what this figure says on the X axis. When you consider that Norway is overall running a deficit on their inhabitants, balanced by oil fund income, this means that even Norwegians themselves are fiscally negative. So the benchmark that says +€15.5k yearly is more accurately -€5k yearly. What does that mean for how much lower Iraq, Somalia and Syria are in reality compared to the displayed number? It's hard to know. Their cost in resources is higher as well, so -€20k yearly in addition to the cost listed in the figure is quite certainly a lower bound. Overall it is plausible that Syrian / Somali immigration to Norway is the most economically expensive immigration anywhere in the world, at any time in history.

Requiring an ID and proof of citizenship to vote is common sense. It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. RT if you agree.

Share if you agree that the Senate shouldn’t take its August recess until it has passed the SAVE America Act.
The Senate has only been in session about 40% of the time this year so far, and there is a lot more to get done. Hardworking Americans work 5 days a week, and the people who represent them should too. We should not leave here until we pass EVERY single piece of legislation that we need — especially the SAVE America Act.

Birmingham Police are now asking us all to stop sharing this video. Oops.
We are aware of footage showing the arrest of a man after a disorder on Broad Street at 1.30am on 21 June. Officers found a group of men fighting. As the incident was dealt with, an officer was punched. One man was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Birmingham police arrested the victim of an attack while allowing his attackers to flee. Another example of 2 tier policing in the united kingdom. x.com/Re_mi_gra_tion…

We make it far too easy for senators in the minority to use the filibuster to kill bills supported by the majority. The whole idea behind the filibuster has, from the beginning, been to protect and prolong debate—not to cut off debate, forcing the Senate to abandon any bill that doesn’t immediately receive the support of at least 60 senators. Filibustering is supposed to require far more than opposing cloture. Especially for bills of exceptional national importance—like the SAVE America Act—senators should be required to hold the floor and speak. The minute filibustering senators stop doing that, the legislation can and should be passed at a simple-majority threshold. This is not a radical idea. This describes what the filibuster is, how it has historically operated, and how it should work today. Share this message if you agree that the Senate—and the country as a whole—would be well served by a return to this approach.

The SAVE America Act would make it (1) easy to vote, and (2) hard to cheat There is no good reason *not* to pass it If Democrat senators want to filibuster the SAVE America Act, we should make them work for it We shouldn’t make filibustering it too easy Share if you agree
