Immigrants from the Middle East, Africa, Mexico and other Latino countries are invading the United States and Europe in overwhelming numbers. However, America suffers the highest influx of illegals crossing our borders with the blessings of the Progressive establishment.

Pursuant to a chart released last week by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Al), the United States plays host to a whopping 20% of the world’s immigrants in addition to which, we provide “more funding and benefits than any other country in the world and any other region in the world.”

Even worse, the nations who send us their citizens are themselves not advocates of open borders when it is they who are on the receiving end.

Case in point, even though the population of twenty-one Latino nations combined is twice that of the United States, combined Latino nations have 7.8 million immigrants compared to 45.8 million living in the USA. See the following news release and chart below released by the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest.

SUBCOMMITEE CHART: U.S. Takes In 6 Times More Migrants Than Every Latin American Nation Put Together

Background from the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest:

The United States resettles the largest number of migrants in the world, and provides more funding and benefits than any other country in the world and any other region in the world. These are the facts: the U.S. contains about 4.5 percent of global population but hosts about 20 percent of the world’s global migrants. As a matter of comparison, Latin America contains nearly twice as much of the world’s population – more than 8.5 percent – but houses only about 3.35 percent of the world’s migrants. While the United States takes in one-fifth of global migrants, no other nation on earth has taken in more than one-twentieth.

About 1 in 40 of all migrants living in the U.S. today are from the Middle East or North Africa; however, that population has been rapidly growing. More than 1 in 10 of the annual permanent migrants resettled in the U.S. is a Muslim migrant. By contrast, only about 1 in 300 of all migrants living in Mexico today are from the Middle East or North Africa. (About 1 in 7 migrants in Mexico hail from other Latin American countries, and about 7 in 10 migrants in Mexico are from Canada or the United States). To provide further perspective: in 2010 there were 3,166 migrants from the Middle East living in Mexico; between 2001 and today, the United States has issued green cards to approximately 900,000 migrants from the Middle East and 1.5 million to migrants from Muslim countries. Because it’s only a ten-year figure for the U.S., that means the U.S. has permanently resettled well more than 300 times as many Middle Eastern migrants as Mexico, for example.

In terms of long-term migration trends, the Pew Research Center observes that the United States will continue to greatly exceed Latin America in terms of Middle Eastern migration:

“Most of the projected growth in the region’s Muslim population will take place in North America, particularly in the U.S. and Canada. If current trends continue, the Muslim population in the United States is projected to more than double in the next 20 years, from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030…Of all the countries in the Americas, Canada and the U.S. are expected to have by far the largest percentage increases in the size of their Muslim populations, 183.1% and 139.5%, respectively…By 2030, the U.S. is projected to have a larger number of Muslims than any European country other than Russia (which is expected to have 19 million Muslims by 2030) and France (which is expected to have 6.9 million Muslims in 2030). By comparison, the United Kingdom and Germany are each projected to have nearly 5.6 million Muslims in 2030.”

Pew also observes that: “If current trends continue, about 130,000 Muslims are expected to be granted permanent residency in the United States annually by 2030.” It is important to note this not an estimate of the much large figure of total annual migration (i.e. foreign students, guest workers, asylum-seekers, etc.) but permanent resettlement.

Labor Dept. Signs ‘Partnerships’ with Foreign Gov’s to Protect Illegal Workers in U.S (via BUNKERVILLE | God, Guns and Guts Comrades!)

With the underemployment rate in the United States for Americans at a miserable 18.4% plus and substantially higher in the Black community, the Obama administration has made a conscious effort to reach out to secure employment for Latino illegal immigrants by signing “partnership” statements with the ambassadors of Latino American nations.

Message to the American people, get to the back of the line and take a number; and to Black Americans looking for work whose blind allegiance to Barack Obama knows no bounds, “everyone must have skin in the game.”

Any Lawyers out there? What in the world is a signing statement with other countries? The Secretary of Labor enters into agreements? What part of the Constitution did I miss on this one? Talk about open borders. Come on down, or over, or whatever way you can get here and it is all yours. Welcome to the USA. Wow, they are really turning up the heat on getting illegals over here. U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis today signed “partnership” agreement … Read More

MAN SENTENCED 5 YEARS FOR SMUGGLING AFRICAN REFUGEES INTO U.S.

A Ghanaian man was sentenced to five years in prison Thursday after pleading guilty to smuggling East African economic refugees into the United States via Latin America.

Mohammed Kamel Ibrahim, 27, was known as “Silk the Shocker” when he lived in Mexico in 2007 operating what U.S. government officials said was a major smuggling pipeline.

The case raised alarms among intelligence officials focused on networks that smuggle people from Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan – known havens for terrorists, including al-Qaida.

In intercepted e-mails, Ibrahim wrote that “getting into the U.S. is no problem at all,” and could be done for a price of $5,000.

According to court documents the smugglers had associates in Africa, typically corrupt officials. And they chose their routes based on which transit points employ easily bribed authorities.

Routes have included traveling from East Africa to Johannesburg, South Africa, and from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo, Brazil. East Africans also flew from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, or Rome to Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela in 2007, according to an intelligence assessment. In addition, the smugglers have access to fake and real Belizean, Bolivian, Chilean, Mexican, Peruvian and South African visas.

In Ibrahim’s case, people were stored in luggage compartments of buses for as long as 12 hours and driven to the U.S.-Mexican border. The smugglers escorted clients as they walked across the border into the United States between official entry ports.

East Africans mostly come to the United States to find better lives because of a lack of job opportunities in their home countries.

Considering most are forced along with siblings and offspring into a lifetime of servitude or worse, five years is not enough for pigs like this.  The penalty must be made to fit the crime, but I guess it’s a start.

CHINA, VENEZUELA GROW CLOSER

Tags

Latin America, VENEZUELA

Venezuela took control this weekend of a Chinese-built communications satellite, part of a deepening trade relationship that some say illustrates waning U.S. influence in Latin America.

Accompanied by Chinese technicians at a communications facility in western Guarico state, President Hugo Chávez presided at a ceremony in which Venezuela formally assumed operation of the “Simón Bolivar,” a $400 million satellite China launched Oct. 29.

“This will put an end to media terrorism and help us spread our own truth, to wage the battle of ideas with efficiency and transparency,” Chávez said on national television Saturday.

Chávez said the satellite would strengthen his nation’s sovereignty by overcoming U.S. “media bombardment.” The orb will also bring the Internet to schools and homes across Venezuela and facilitate “tele-medicine” – sending medical tests of patients in remote locations via the Internet to medical centers for speedier diagnoses.

Evan Ellis, a consultant with Arlington, Va.-based Booz Allen Hamilton, said the satellite is an example of “strategic relationships” China has been able to build because the United States no longer “closely defends its exclusive presence” in Latin America.

“Traditionally, Chinese diplomacy has been cautious there for fear of provoking us and endangering its U.S. trade relationship,” Ellis said. “But it’s become bolder in its affairs, not just with relatively neutral countries, but even with a country like Venezuela, which is openly hostile to the United States.”

Also this month, Venezuela is taking possession from China of 18 military jet training aircraft that can be refitted for combat and a missile-defense radar system. It has also begun to receive 27 oil-drilling platforms and a fleet of oil tankers it ordered from China, Ellis said.

China buys on average 338,000 barrels of Venezuelan oil daily, a figure that could rise to 1 million per day by 2012, Chávez has said. Venezuela effectively subsidizes those sales by paying freight costs to China.

Simon Alberto Consalvi, a Chávez critic and former foreign minister, said the burgeoning trade relationship has mostly benefited China, and that the recent decline in oil prices might force Chávez to curtail his spending.

“China is doing great business here while Venezuela is running up a very negative trade balance,” said Consalvi. “With the drop in oil prices, I don’t think Chávez can continue these sorts of arrangements.”

China has also committed to investing billions in a heavy-oil development project in eastern Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt, where several U.S. and European oil companies were given the boot after refusing to cede control of projects to the state oil company PDVSA.

Looking to secure long-term access to oil and other minerals, China has signed 21 such energy deals worldwide.

RUSSIAN SHIP SAILS THROUGH PANAMA

Tags

Latin America, Panama, RUSSIA

 

A Russian warship has sailed through the Panama Canal for the first time since World War II.

The Admiral Chabanenko had earlier completed manoeuvres with Venezuela’s navy, coinciding with a Latin American tour by the Russian president.

The 50-mile (80km) canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans was shut to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Correspondents say the Russian ship is sending a symbolic message in what the US sees as its sphere of influence.

Ties between the two superpowers have become strained because of Washington’s plan for a missile defence system in Poland and the Czech Republic – something Moscow is firmly opposed to.

Panama said the passage of the ship had no political significance, as the canal is “open to all the world’s ships”.

First since 1944

The warship entered the canal on Friday night and docked at Rodman, once the base for all US naval activities in South America, on Saturday.

It will stay in Rodman for five days.

The canal journey, the naval exercises and President Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to the region have been seen as aimed at strengthening Russia’s influence in the region.

In the naval exercises, about 1,600 Russian and 700 Venezuelan sailors on four Russian ships and 12 Venezuelan vessels took part in the VenRus 2008 joint exercise.

They had originally been scheduled to last three days, but both Venezuelan and Russian officials said the manoeuvres had been successfully completed in one day.

The first and only time Soviet warships used the Panama Canal was in 1944, when the USSR and US were fighting as allies against Hitler, the Russian embassy in Panama told AFP news agency.

Four Soviet submarines crossed the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific after undergoing repairs, it said.

RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VISITS COLD WAR ALLY CASTRO

Tags

Latin America, Peru, RUSSIA, VENEZUELA

On Friday, November 28, 2008, Russia’s president, Dmitry Medvedev,  met with an ailing Fidel Castro, a visit intended to (i) improve relations between Russia and Cuba; and (ii) an effort to boost political and economic ties in Latin America.

Dmitry Medvedev spent hours talking and sightseeing with President Raul Castro before meeting privately with his 82-year-old older brother.

“Medvedev said he was happy with his visit when he left the island Friday evening on a flight from the beach resort of Varadero east of Havana, Cuba’s Prensa Latina news agency reported.

Prensa Latina offered no details about what had been defined and cleared up, and carried no information about Medvedev’s visit with ailing Fidel Castro. Cuban state television’s evening news also did not report on the meeting with the older Castro.”

Russian officials are denying that the intention of Medvedev’s four-nation trip to Latin American countries was to provoke the United States.  However, Medvedev’s meeting with Fidel Castro capped meetings with Washington’s staunchest opponents in the region.  

RUSSIA SEEKING INROADS AMONG LATIN AMERICAN NATIONS

Medvedev’s tour underscores efforts to reengage a region that Moscow has ignored in the post-Soviet era.

Reporting from Lima, Peru, and Bogota, Colombia — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev arrived in Venezuela on Wednesday to boost economic and political ties, his latest stop on a Latin American tour coinciding with President-elect Barack Obama’s preparations to take office.

Along with earlier visits to Brazil and Peru, the trip to Caracas reflects a strategy to re-engage a region that Russia largely has ignored since the fall of the Soviet Union. Venezuela has purchased more than $4.4 billion in arms from Russia, which in turn has committed huge sums for energy exploration in Venezuela.

Medvedev’s red-carpet welcome at Caracas’ Maiquetia airport followed Tuesday’s arrival of four Russian warships, including the nuclear-powered Peter the Great missile cruiser, in the Venezuelan port of La Guaira. It was the most significant appearance of Russian military assets in the hemisphere since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

The Russian ships are to participate in joint military exercises with Venezuelan vessels and aircraft starting next week. Medvedev and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will review the Russian ships today.

“We share a common desire for a multipolar world, not a unipolar one,” Medvedev said Wednesday night in an appearance with Chavez at the Miraflores presidential palace. The leaders signed seven trade accords, including one covering nuclear energy development.

Earlier Wednesday, Medvedev was in Brazil to sign accords with President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, including a sale of 12 Russian helicopters. The Russian president’s next stop is Cuba, which is also seeking Russian reengagement. The two nations downgraded ties after the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Analyst Sarah Mendelson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank, sees political brinkmanship in Med- vedev’s presence. It sends a clear signal to Obama that Russia is capable of answering U.S. forays in Moscow’s sphere of influence, such as Washington’s support for Georgia and proposed placement of anti-missile systems in Poland and the Czech Republic, she said.

“The Russians are telling Obama that if he follows what Moscow sees as the provocative approach of President Bush, there will be consequences,” said Council on Foreign Relations fellow Jeff Markoff.

But Medvedev’s ability to make deals in Latin America may be crimped by the global financial crisis and Russia’s declining oil revenue, Markoff added.
Latin American nations’ desire not to get off on the wrong foot with Obama may also work against sensitive agreements, Brookings Institution research analyst Igor Danchenko said.

A factory planned near Caracas that will produce Russian-designed rifles has raised concerns on the part of Colombian President Alvaro Uribe that they could end up in the hands of the FARC, the leftist rebels with close ties to Chavez. That prompted a visit to Bogota last week by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who assured Uribe, a close U.S. ally, that all arms sales to Venezuela were defensive in nature.
Medvedev went to Brazil after visiting Peru as part of the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Conference forum in Lima.

One Lima-Moscow accord will have Russia installing a plant for repair of about 60 Russian-made helicopters in the Peruvian military fleet.
“Russia is looking to consolidate its relations in Latin America, largely forgotten since the fall of the Soviet Union,” Medvedev said during a meeting with Peruvian President Alan Garcia.
