What was once a ‘far-right’ idea is now a common-sense policy for Europe.

First, it was Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with her Albania plan, followed by former British PM Rishi Sunak with his ‘Rwanda plan’ – both blocked by activist judges because of the insane EU asylum legislation.

But today (26), after years of constant growth of right-wing parties across the old continent, things are changing for real, as European lawmakers voted to authorize the setting up of migrant detention centers outside the European Union, known as ‘return hubs’.

BREAKING:

The EU just started the procedure for the toughest migrant detention and deportation plan yet.

Today the EU Parliament voted 389 to 206 to authorize immediate negotiations on the new Return Regulation.

Associated Press reported:

“Members of the European Parliament voted 389-206 in favor, with 32 abstentions. Right-wing parties made an alliance with far-right groups that they had previously shunned to pass the measure, while parties of the left and center voted against.

Any EU nation can now negotiate on its own or in small coalitions to deport migrants not to their home countries but to facilities yet to be built outside the 27-nation bloc.”

“Already, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark have entered into negotiations with governments mainly in Africa to host sites to hold migrants denied asylum.

[…] Charlie Weimers, a lawmaker from the right-wing Sweden Democrats: ‘There is a new consensus in Europe. The era of deportations has begun’, he said in a social media post.”

Euronews reported:

“The law will also increase the legal detention period to up to two years and impose practically unlimited entry bans in the EU on the returned people.

The final version of the law will now be discussed between the Parliament and EU member states. The negotiation is expected to be smooth, as there are no substantial differences between the two texts.

Both MEPs and EU countries want to include in the deportations to third countries families with children, excluding from the provision only the unaccompanied minors.”

The US and Russia are rebuilding ties.

On the one hand, the US supports Ukraine against Russia in their 4-year war, while Russia supports Iran against the US in their recent military confrontation.

But on the other hand, the United States and the Russian Federation have been engaged in a difficult but potentially rewarding détente.

After the start of the war in Ukraine, US-Russian relations deteriorated to the worst level in history, but after the return of Donald J. Trump, the ties have improved considerably.

“The ⁠lawmakers’ visit to the United States, first reported by Russia’s Vedomosti ​newspaper, includes Vyacheslav Nikonov, a lawmaker who is the grandson of Josef ​Stalin’s foreign minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, according to Russian media reports.”

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso delivered a blistering floor speech Tuesday, exposing the Democrat Party’s priorities during the ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

While roughly 50,000 TSA agents are required to work without pay, causing massive airport delays and forcing hundreds to quit, Democrats are laser-focused on protecting illegal aliens.

Barrasso played a clip of Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy admitting on live television, “The people we care most about… are the undocumented.” He explained that the Democrat strategy for over 30 years has been to make undocumented immigrants citizens.

Barrasso stated plainly, “This is a Democrat… ‘the people we care most about,’ he says, ‘are the undocumented.’”

“Not these people who are working every day,” Barrasso said of American TSA agents.

Murphy made the comment during a 2024 MSNBC interview discussing immigration policy.

Murphy said the Democratic approach “has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented ‘Americans’ that are in this country.”

Barrasso summed it up by saying, “The American people are wondering today… why the Democrat Party continues to stand up for illegal immigrant criminals against law-abiding citizens.” He warned that Democrats are willing to “make people hurt” to protect their open-border agenda.

The partial DHS shutdown began in February after Democrats blocked full funding for the department unless it included restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, such as limits on the use of masks by agents or on warrantless arrests.

Republicans have repeatedly offered clean funding bills and targeted measures to reopen TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and other critical functions, but Democrats have voted them down.

As a result, TSA officers, who are deemed essential workers, have missed multiple paychecks for the third time in six months.

DHS reports that more than 450 TSA officers have already quit since the shutdown started.

Absenteeism has skyrocketed, with over 11 percent of agents calling out on some days and rates approaching 30-50 percent at major hubs like Houston, Atlanta, and New Orleans.

Travelers have been facing hours-long security lines during peak spring break travel.
