UN slams EU ‘migrant pushbacks’ as asylum claims spike

The reckless open-door immigration that is undermining democratic societies persists at the behest of the United Nations, and Western taxpayers are paying for it.

The UN Migration Pact is a sealed deal, regardless of any resistance to it. Take for example, Britain: Jihad Watch has extensively covered the thousands of illegal Muslim migrants pouring in via the English Channel, with repeated empty promises from the Boris Johnson government to stop this influx, amid much public protest. But the UK government has been fobbing off the public with empty words for political expediency. In 2020, the Johnson government reaffirmed its commitment to the UN Migration Pact, which makes mass migration (including economic migrants) a “human right.” So the hijrah has in effect become a “human right.”

Most EU countries support open migration, and only attempt to obscure with political posturing when elections are around the corner (as is happening now in France). Sometimes the migrants serve political purposes: Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko waged a hybrid war against the EU that saw Germany bombarded by 11,000 illegal Muslim migrants, and 12 EU member countries go to the EU for financial help to build walls.

The EU remains severely divided between globalists and responsible leaders. The globalist United Nations has combined forces with EU globalists in order to aggressively pursue open borders, as well as the abolition of EU culture and member-nation sovereignty. Now it is doubling down to slam any EU migrant pushbacks. It has also gained more power since the ascension to the American presidency of the weak globalist Joe Biden. 

“Globalist U.N. Slams EU Migrant ‘Pushbacks’, Meanwhile Asylum Claims Spike,” by Peter Caddle, Breitbart, February 22, 2022:

A senior official from the globalist United Nations has slammed the European Union over migrant ‘pushbacks’ occurring at its borders, while asylum claims spike across the continent.

The European Union has found itself on the receiving end of harsh criticism for its handling of migrants, with the globalist U.N. slamming the bloc’s defensive measures for being too harsh.

This is despite the fact that asylum claims have spiked across the European continent in 2021, growing by a third over the previous year, with parts of Europe struggling with an influx of illegal boat migrants.

According to a post on his official website, Filippo Grandi, who serves as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, has slammed the EU’s border defence as “legally and morally unacceptable”, and has ordered the bloc to change course.

“Violence, ill-treatment and pushbacks continue to be regularly reported at multiple entry points at land and sea borders, within and beyond the European Union (EU), despite repeated calls by UN agencies, including UNHCR, intergovernmental organizations and NGOs to end such practices,” the commissioner is reported as saying.

“We fear these deplorable practices now risk becoming normalized, and policy based,” the statement continues. “They reinforce a harmful and unnecessary ‘fortress Europe’ narrative.”

“While essential as a demonstration of external support to main hosting states, resettlement and other legal pathways cannot substitute for obligations towards people seeking asylum at borders, including those who have arrived irregularly and spontaneously, including by boat,” Grandi also claims.

The commissioner ended his statement by saying that what the EU does sets precedent globally, and so the EU must rectify the border enforcement issues he finds problematic.

“How Europe chooses to protect asylum-seekers and refugees matters and is precedent-setting not only in the region but also globally,” he concludes.

While the U.N. commissioner denounces the so-called “unnecessary ‘fortress Europe’ narrative”, the walls of such a fortress have become extremely porous in recent months, with asylum claims spiking by one third in Europe over 2021 compared to the previous year.

Over 600,000 individuals applied for international protection in so-called EU+ countries last year — which include nations outside the European Union, such as Serbia and the UK — according to the European Union Agency for Asylum, compared to just over 450,000 in 2020….
