Citizenship Grants to Leap Exponentially as New Immigrant “Fast Track” Procedure Comes Online

Citizenship Grants to Leap Exponentially as New Immigrant “Fast Track” Procedure Comes Online

 |  BNP News

The number of immigrants being granted British citizenship will rocket from the current 164,000 per year to over 250,000 as the new “immigrant fast track process” comes online.
The fast track process is a special initiative by the Government which grants citizenship to immigrants nearly two years earlier than normal if they “work in charities” or participate in “civic duties” — which include working in a (Labour Party) supporting trade union.
According to the new Borders, Immigration and Citizenship Act enacted in July, immigrants who have been in the UK for five years will obtain citizenship within one further year rather than three if they can prove they have been “active citizens.”
In 2008, some 164,635 citizenship applications were approved by the Home Office, which works out as one every three minutes. The new move will up this figure to one every two minutes.
According to Home Office figures, 1.2 million immigrants have been granted citizenship in the last ten years.
The plan to fast track immigrants will be fully implemented by 2011, according to Jo Liddy, national lead for citizenship and permanent migration at the UK Border Agency.
Speaking to a public service publication, Ms Liddy said that “we think it is right that those who volunteer receive the benefit offered by active citizenship.”
At the same time, increasing numbers of British nationals are leaving this country. Official figures state that 207,000 British citizens left Britain in 2006. Nearly a third went to Australia or New Zealand. A quarter went to Spain or France, and around one in 12 went to the United States of America.
While 1.2 million immigrants — mainly from the Third World — have been granted citizenship in Britain, the total number of British citizens who have left has now reached 1.6 million since 1997.
This is nearly what the Tory and Labour patsies in the “Cross Parliamentary Group on Balanced Migration” seek — the number of emigrants equalling the number of immigrants.
As the figures clearly show, “balanced migration” is not the answer. In fact it is one of the more serious problems, and any voter concerned about this issue will have to bear in mind that the Tory party has essentially endorsed this immigration policy as their own.
* Simultaneously it has been announced that ten percent of Britain’s jail population are foreign nationals who now cost the taxpayer £292 million per year to keep locked up.

Total Intergration Or Meltdown: The Choice For Europe

Total Intergration Or Meltdown: The Choice For Europe
 by Uk Tabloid
The moment of truth has arrived for the European Union. The debt crisis has brought the single currency to the brink of meltdown.

Leaders of the EU now face a stark choice. They can either allow the eurozone to fall apart through the withdrawal of hopelessly indebted member states such as Greece and Portugal, or ruthlessly press ahead with full economic and political unification, creating a new European nation that will impose fiscal discipline throughout its territory.

Complete integration or chaotic disintegration: those are the only two alternatives for the eurozone’s future. What is certain is that the EU cannot go on pouring money into the basket-case economies of the Mediterranean. Since the Greek crisis blew up the euro has lost more than 24 cents in value. Even the bail-out of £645billion for its weaker states failed to restore economic credibility.

In fact the colossal scheme has only disturbed the markets further by giving the impression that European debts are spiralling out of control. Little wonder then that German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned this week that “the euro is in danger”. Yet her action in imposing restrictions on speculation by currency traders does nothing to address the central problem of looming insolvency within the EU, for there is little sign that the governments of Spain, Portugal and Greece are willing to enact the tough measures required to prevent national bankruptcy, especially not in the face of mass protests.

If the euro is to survive then the bureaucrats of Brussels will have to take charge of the budgets of member states. The EU can no longer dole out the cash without having control over revenue and expenditure. Such a step would mean the final demise of any economic independence within the EU. Member states would be reduced to the status of regional authorities, their finances determined by unelected commissioners.
But that is precisely why Brussels will be so eager to embark on a fiscal takeover. The debt crisis provides a unique opportunity for the Eurocrats to realise their dream of creating a unified federal superstate. This has always been the primary goal behind the single currency. The euro is essentially a political project, not an economic one, with monetary union used as a vehicle for integration.

The founding father of the EU, French politician Jean Monnet, said in 1952 that “the fusion of economic functions will compel nations to fuse their sovereignty into that of a single European state”. Similarly, at the launch of the euro in 1999, EU president Romano Prodi declared that “for the first time since the Roman Empire we have an opportunity to unite Europe”.

The vision of unity was the reason that Brussels plunged ahead so recklessly with the euro. There was never any genuine justification for joining together such a jumble of disparate economies. It was absurd to pretend Germany,
that ruthlessly efficient industrial powerhouse, had the same interests as Greece with all its institutionalised debts and corruption.

Monetary union was only achieved by the EU fiddling its figures and breaking its own rules on fiscal deficits. Financial catastrophe was always inevitable. Even though Britain stayed out of the euro we are bound to be affected by the turmoil on the Continent, not least because 54 per cent of all our exports go there. As a member of the EU we may ultimately have to contribute around £15billion to the bail-out.

Just as worryingly Brussels has also demanded that all finance ministers submit their national budgets for approval by the commission, a precursor of full fiscal union. Chancellor George Osborne has rightly rejected this arrogant nonsense but the pressure will only intensify as the economic crisis deepens.

But we should be grateful that at least we have stayed out of the eurozone quagmire. The retention of sterling was perhaps the only good deed that Gordon Brown achieved, though his rejection of the euro was not based on any patriotic impulse but on his aggressive, self-absorbed character. On the one hand he could not stomach losing total command of the British economy.

On the other he wanted to undermine Tony Blair, who embodied the classic trendy metropolitan enthusiasm for the euro. Yet the man we should really thank for keeping Britain out of this mess is the late tycoon Sir James Goldsmith. The impact of his Euro-sceptic Referendum Party in the mid-Nineties forced John Major’s government to promise a national vote before joining the euro, a pledge that was echoed by Labour.

Politicians of all sides knew that the British public would never tolerate the destruction of independence so the popular will acted as a barrier to economic subjugation. British EU enthusiasts, from Edward Heath in the Seventies to Nick Clegg today, constantly tried to deceive us about the real nature of the European project. They claimed that we could maintain our sovereignty while submitting to EU rule.

But that has always been a lie. If their policy had been followed and we had joined the single currency we would now be facing national catastrophe. It would have meant the total demise of our democracy and independence.

Outside the euro there is still a hope of national survival. Within, only the tyranny of Brussels awaits.

Thinking Rationally About Immigration

Thinking Rationally About Immigration

Created:May 2010 10:42 Author: Dr. D | 


Who should be admitted to live in our countries? We are told often how much immigrants contribute to our countries, both economically and culturally. We all hear the old saw about, “we are a nation of immigrants,” which is truly ludicrous in the UK but less so in other nations of the Anglosphere. We are told that we have a positive need for immigrants, even though our eyes and common sense tell us otherwise. Finally, we are sent on guilt trips, saying that we have a moral obligation to accept immigrants.
In a recent article by Johann Hari in The Independent titled “Islamists, their victims, and hypocrisy,” some aspects of this question are examined . In his article, Hari discusses the cases of two recent applications for asylum in the UK that have rejected, and known two Pakistani al–Qa’ida members who are going to be allowed to remain in the UK. One asylum application refused is from a young lesbian (age 27) in Iran who fears for her life and thought she should be allowed to come to the UK where she could live freely. The second refused asylum application is from a 29 year old Pakistani man who has written atheist tracts online, and now fears for his life in Pakistan. He thinks he should be allowed to come to the UK where he can be free to pursue his atheism. Each of those refused were told to stay where they were and “live discrete lives.” Hari says that the trial that determined that the two al–Qa’ida members were such was “a Kafka–trial” where the defendants were not allowed to hear the evidence against them. This seems like a strange allegation to level at a trial that the defendants essentially won, event though they were convicted. They seem to have achieved all substantive goals, so I’m not sure what more was wanted.

Hari then goes on to make a strong argument that, when people in the West deal justly and mercifully with Muslims, it has a far bigger impact on them than any other way we might deal with them. Somehow, he has shifted the argument to be about whether to torture or not, which really is not the same question as whether to admit immigrants or not, but in Hari’s mind, it seems to be the same. And then he comes to his closing paragraph, which I quote:

Brave, bold voices like Kiana and Amit’s do more to undermine Islamic fundamentalism than a thousand bomber–planes that only vindicate the Bin Laden narrative for so many. By sending these remarkable dissidents to die, we aren’t only betraying them – we are endangering ourselves.

It is a nice summation of his argument, and it has some truth in it, but we need to examine it further. (Kiana and Amit were the two who were refuse entry into the UK.) These two people are definitely the products of their own societies. They have taken their stands (lesbianism, atheism) in defiance of their societies of their own free will. I do not for a moment wish to deny them that choice, but I do wish to emphasize that it is their choice, and that their choice has consequences that are their own to bear. Those consequences should not become the burden of anyone else, and most especially not of any other nation.

With respect to Hari’s contention that they will do so much more good if they live, I have to say that they will do the most good if they live in their own societies, rather than hiding in the safety of the West. They should not be in the West, creating ill will for us with the Muslim world, but rather they should be in the Muslim world working reform there. The only way the Muslim world will change is when Muslims make that change; it will not happen from the outside. How many Muslims do you think Ayaan Hirsi reaches?

It is right that these people were denied entry into the UK; they made choices and they must live with the consequences of those choices. It would also be right, if it has been correctly determined that the other two are truly members of al–Qa’ida, which was a choice on their part, to face the consequences of that choice. Life is full of choices, and we do not get to start over, but rather we have to continue to play our hand, based on our previous choices, including mistakes.

But back to the original question, who should be admitted to live in our countries? Long ago, when more rational thinking prevailed on all subjects, and particularly on matters of national sovereignty, nations made decisions about whom to admit as immigrants on the basis of the interests of the host nation. Generally speaking, the host nation considered the assets that the would–be immigrant would bring to the host nation in terms of wealth, knowledge, various skills, and some times simply brute force manpower. But it was the needs of the host nation that determined whether the immigrant was accepted, not the desires of the immigrant.

I am sure that the word refugee has been in the English language for a very long time, but I think it really began to have major significance after WW I. There were large number of dislocated people in Europe, more than ever before, with the breakup of the Hapsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire. All of this expanded many fold after WW II with more displaced people all over the world. The idea of refugees has be employed to play on Christian sympathies to permanently accept people from all over the world into our nations, bringing completely misfit elements into our societies. This continues apace today at an accelerating rate today with many coming from Africa and the Middle East. I think it is necessary to ask the question, “are these people truly refugees, or are they time bombs, waiting to explode?”

There are parts of the world where on–going warfare has been the norm forever. This is true in parts of Africa and elsewhere. If you pluck someone up from there, it is probably correct to call that person a “refugee” in some sense. But moving those people somewhere else in the world does not make them peaceful, civilized people, it just moves the war somewhere else. We have seen this with the large numbers of Somalis transported to Minnesota who are now terrorizing the people of Minneapolis–St. Paul just like they were back in Somalia. They did not all become Americans of Swedish and Norwegian descent when they landed in Minnesota, strange to say, and Garrison Kellior does not know what to say about them being the good liberal that he is.

Since the earliest colonial days in America, people have immigrated to the US. For a long time, there were no restrictions at all on who could come, but eventually laws were passed limiting the number who could come each year from each country. At almost any point along either the northern or southern border of the US, you can literally simply walk across the border; there are no physical barriers at all in most places. For most of our history, there has been no problem, with either of our neighbors, and there is still no problem with Canada. Mexico is a different matter, however.

Mexico has vast internal problems, and rather than seek to solve their own problems, their solution has been to send much of their population to the US to earn money to send back to Mexico. This has been going on for at least forty years with the connivance of the US government as well. The US government has simply stopped enforcing the immigration laws, although the laws remain on the books. As a consequence, many thousands of Mexicans stream into the US illegally every day. They often come in as “mules” carrying illegal drugs, but then go on to take low skill jobs at low wages that are often paid in cash. In most cases, no taxes are paid on these wages, and it is an entirely off the record transaction. Much of the money is sent back to Mexico by wire transfer. They live on food stamps and various types of welfare in many cases, they use the hospital emergency rooms for all of their healthcare needs (they cannot be turned away there, even if they say they cannot pay), they often turn to thievery, rape, and murder. Even those that “succeed” in the sense that they find stable employment and establish a home, usually do not learn English and develop no loyalty at all to the US, always thinking of themselves only as Mexicans even to the third and fourth generations.

Some will have heard of the new Arizona immigration law that has caused quite a furor. I have read the whole law, all seventeen pages of it. It is very bland reading, and it simply says, in very plain English, that local law enforcement is authorized and indeed required to enforce the federal immigration law. It does not permit any of the undue stops or searches that people are so upset about, indeed they are prohibited. People say, “but it might be enforced that way.” Well, yes, a policeman might stop you any time and mistreat you, but how often does it happen? There are severe penalties for the policeman that does such things. The state of Arizona is simply trying to protect its people, to do the job that the federal government has long neglected to do. The citizens of Arizona have been subject to the most amazing dangers and harassments and this is long overdue.

With regard to the central question of whom should be admitted to our countries, I would like to adduce two principal statements:

1. We should only admit those who bring a positive benefit to the host country. There is no obligation to admit anyone at anytime, no matter what their pleading may be. Life is unfair, we have to life the life we are given.

2. The people of the third world, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, etc., must all stay where they are and fix their own broken societies. Anglo–Saxons cannot do it for them. They would not accept it if we tried, and we should not feel that we have any obligation to try. This does not mean that we should not be willing to help in moderation, but the prime responsibility rest squarely with them. We discourage them from doing this most necessary task if we shelter them in our countries.

Blind ideology is dancing on the grave of reason

Melanie phillips May , 2010
Blind ideology is dancing on the grave of reason
The Australian, 15 May 2010
In Britain, the benefits of diversity are apparently boundless. Now that the Pagan Police Association has received government recognition, police officers can take a string of pagan festivals as official holidays.
These include celebrating the festival of lactating sheep, and drinking mead and dancing naked to celebrate the harvest. In court, pagan officers will be allowed to pledge to tell the truth not before God but by what ‘they hold sacred’, including, presumably, the Sun God or Kriss Kringle, the Germanic god of yule.
In Australia, as historian Keith Windschuttle has chronicled in his new book The Stolen Generations – volume three of his tireless evisceration of The Fabrication of Aboriginal History — the allegedly monstrous theft of 100,000 Aboriginal children by Australian officials just because they were Aboriginal never actually happened.
In the US, when a car bomb was planted recently in New York’s Times Square by a man later revealed to be a Muslim trained in bomb-making in Pakistan’s Waziristan region, there was an initial stampede to declare the attempted atrocity was unconnected to Islamic terrorism.
It was said to be most likely the work of a Tea Party member, right-wing militiaman or lone nut. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg even suggested the bomb could have been placed by ’somebody with a political agenda who doesn’t like the healthcare bill or something’.
What has Britain come to when its police officers are given leave to dance about naked? How can generations of Australians have been taught the egregious falsehood of the Stolen Generations as fact? And how many times have Tea Party members or people opposed to a piece of legislation tried to commit mass murder against their fellow Americans, compared with the number of recent attempts by Muslim terrorists?
Such intellectual perversity can be understood only in the context of a far wider and profound retreat from reason throughout the West.
Across a broad range of issues, the progressive intelligentsia appears to have junked the rules of evidence, objectivity and rationality in favour of fantasy, irrationality and upside-down thinking.
Take man-made global warming, for example. The belief that the planet is on course for carbon Armageddon is now embedded in Western politics. Yet the evidence that the climate is warming to an unprecedented and catastrophic degree just isn’t there. The seas are not rising, the ice is not shrinking, the polar bears are not vanishing, and there has been no significant climate warming since 1995.
Or take the Middle East. Israel is the victim of six decades of exterminatory aggression from the Arab and Muslim world. Yet it is Israel that is expected to make concessions to its attackers, who are said by the West to deserve a state of their own. Meanwhile, the US extends its hand of friendship to Iran, which is building a nuclear bomb to commit another Jewish genocide.
Closer to home, ‘minority rights’ mean activities previously marginalised or considered transgressive are now privileged through ‘family lifestyle choice’ or multiculturalism.
Dissenters from these creeds are socially and professionally ostracised. Academics are hounded as racists for upholding the true historic origins of Western civilisation. Scientists sceptical of man-made global warming find funding is withheld. And those sounding the alarm about the true scope of the Islamic jihad are demonised as warmongering neo-cons or part of a Jewish conspiracy.
Such irrationality, intolerance and, indeed, bigotry run counter to the cardinal tenets of a free society based on reason and the toleration of dissent.
This is because these dominant ideas are all rooted in ideologies: environmentalism, anti-racism, anti-Americanism, anti-imperialism, anti-Zionism, egalitarianism or scientism, the belief that scientific materialism alone explains everything.
Rather than going where the evidence leads, ideology wrenches the evidence to fit a prior idea. Not only is ideology inimical to reason, it sacrifices truth to power as it attacks those who try to uphold reality in the face of dogma.
This is because the progressive mindset believes it is synonymous with virtue itself. All opposition is therefore not just wrong but evil. Since progressives also believe anyone who opposes them is a right-winger, it follows that all dissent is right-wing and evil, and so must be shut down.
In other words, these are not propositions to be debated in a rational way but are seen as self-evident truths with the infallibility of religious dogma.
They also smack of the political totalitarianism of communism and fascism, as well as resembling, ironically, the fanatical doctrines of militant Islam. Curiously, they also display religious motifs of sin, guilt and salvation.
Odder still, they all exhibit features of millenarianism: the religious belief in the perfectibility of life through the collective redemption of sin. Contemporary secular ideologies identify the sins committed by humanity — oppression of the people of developing nations, despoliation of nature, bigotry, poverty, war — and offer salvation by a return to righteousness.
Thus the greens believe they will save the planet. The leftists believe they will create the brotherhood of man. The anti-Zionists believe they will turn suicide bomb-belts into cucumber frames. The atheists believe they will create the Garden of Reason. And the Islamists believe they will create the kingdom of God on earth.
Dissenters are dismissed because they deny the unchallengeable truths of anti-imperialism, environmentalism and scientific materialism. The explanation for the frustration of Utopia must therefore lie in conspiracies by the neo-cons or the Jews, Big Oil or the Creationists.
The result is not merely that the West has become irrational. By turning truth and lies, victim and aggressor, justice and injustice upside down, it cannot even recognise, let alone deal with, the threats being mounted to its own values and civilisation.
With ideology eroding the principles of rationality and freedom, truth and justice on which it rests, the West is failing to understand what it is that it cannot understand, and so cannot grasp the mortal danger in which it stands.

David Cameron faces backlash as more Tory pledges are axed

David Cameron faces backlash
as more Tory pledges are axed

Cameron risked alienating members of his own party yesterday as he revealed a “radical reforming” programme for his new “partnership Government” with Nick Clegg.

The Prime Minister admitted there was “bad news” for many Tories after key pledges had been scrapped in his coalition deal with the Lib Dems.

Promises to cut stamp duty and scrap bureaucratic NHS targets emerged as the latest casualties of policy wrangling between the parties.
Five more commissions – effectively new quangos – will be launched to consider polices the two parties could not agree on, including overhauling the Human Rights Act, reforming the banking system and cutting the spiralling public-sector pensions black hole. A further dozen reviews will be launched to examine other areas of disagreement.

But Mr Cameron insisted the parties had created an “extensive and detailed reforming agenda” that was “greater than the sum of our two manifestos.”

Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg, his Lib Dem Deputy Prime Minister were at the Treasury to launch their 36-page document The Coalition: Our Programme For Government. Senior Tory Cabinet ministers George Osborne and Theresa May and Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable were present in a show of the new Government’s unity. The document lists pledges they plan to implement.

Many will be rapidly turned into proposals for next week’s Queen’s Speech. Among key Tory pledges are an annual cap on immigration from outside the European Union, a drive to create many more state schools and a ban on joining the euro. Action to tackle the binge- drinking epidemic also featured, including a ban on the sale of alcohol at below cost price. The Tories are to press ahead with a major welfare crackdown to slash benefits for the work shy.

A string of Lib Dem ideas for promoting civil liberties and political reform were also a key feature of the coalition plan.

But some Tories were dismayed that many Conservative manifesto pledges had been diluted or dumped altogether. Mr Cameron admitted some of his party’s policies had been “lost.”

But he insisted the coalition programme – compiled in nine days – was “remarkable”.

“Some policies have been lost on both sides, some have been changed and yes, we have had to find ways to deal with the issues where we profoundly disagree,” he said.

He warned Tory supporters: “The bad news is that some policies have been changed,” but he insisted the programme was more than a simple merger of the Tory and Lib Dem manifestos.

“The more we talked, the more we listened, the more we realised that our visions for this country and the values that inspired them are strengthened and enhanced by the act of the two parties coming together,” he said.

“We have tried to combine our party’s best ideas to create something that is greater than the sum of our two manifestos,” he said.

He said the plan combined “optimism” with “gritty realism about what we need to do”.

“Of course I cannot stand here and say there has been an effortless fusion of two manifestos. There has been negotiation. Some policies have been lost on both sides, some have been changed.”

The joint administration would be a “genuinely reforming radical Government”.

He added: “The more I see of this coalition in action, the more I see of its potential not just in solving the problems that lie before us but solving them with a shared set of values.”

Mr Clegg, who spoke first at the event, said: “Even if you’ve read 100 party manifestos, you’ve never read a document like this.”

He added: “Not one party’s ideas, not even just two parties’ ideas, but a joint programme for Government based on shared ambitions and shared goals.

“Compromises have, of course, been made on both sides, but those compromises have strengthened, not weakened, the final result.

“From different political traditions – Conservatism and Liberalism – we’ve come together to forge a single programme drawing on the strengths and traditions of both of our parties.”

Some Tories are particularly frustrated that many Lib Dem taxation policies have been adopted, including hiking capital gains tax to 40 or 50 per cent.

The document also revealed that a Tory plan to raise the stamp duty threshold to £250,000 for first-time buyers had also been put on the back burner.

A Tory plan to introduce a levy on foreign-based “non-domicile” tycoons was also dropped.

The nuclear deterrent will be maintained, with Trident scrutinised to ensure “value for money”. But Lib Dems “will continue to make the case for alternatives”.

There were also concerns that Tory law-and-order commitments had been watered down. While the Tory manifesto had promised legal protection for householders who tackled intruders, the coalition document instead said: “We will ensure that people have the protection that they need.”

But many of the coalition policies were welcomed – including the commitment to the Tory plan to limit annual immigration from outside the EU.

Former Labour minister Frank Field and senior Tory MP Nicholas Soames of the Cross Party Group on Balanced Migration, said: “We warmly welcome the Prime Minister’s confirmation that it remains the intention of the Government to get net immigration down.”
