Nearly Half of Germans Feel Unsafe In Their Own Neighborhoods Thanks to Mass Migration

A new national survey has found that nearly half of Germans feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods thanks to mass migration, with 81% believing the country has taken in too many refugees.

German broadcaster Welt revealed details of the 2025 Security Report, which shows a massive increase in Germans saying they fear for their safety.

“According to the survey, around half of Germans say they feel unsafe in their own neighborhood and would not go outside alone at night,” reported the news network.

The report highlighted several recent violent attacks across the country carried out by migrants, including most recently in Aschaffenburg, where a failed Afghan asylum seeker who should have been deported targeted a group of kindergarten children in a park, stabbing a 2-year-old boy to death.

A woman who was interviewed said she felt particularly vulnerable when using train and bus stations and places “wherever it is dark.”

“I’m already worried about my children who are young and more vulnerable than me,” added another woman.

Trump orders review to identify, punish and deport antisemites — including students on visas

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday instructing federal agencies to identify “all civil and criminal authorities” available to combat antisemitism — including finding ways to deport anti-Jewish activists who violated laws.

The order, first reported by The Post, requires agency and department leaders to provide the White House with recommendations within 60 days and outlines plans for the Justice Department to investigate pro-Hamas graffiti and intimidation, including on college campuses.

“Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault,” the order says.

“It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools, to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence.”

The executive order calls for the deportation of resident aliens — including students with visas — who broke laws as part of anti-Israel protests following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks that sparked the invasion of Gaza.

“[T]he Secretary of State, the Secretary of Education, and the Secretary of Homeland Security… shall include in their reports recommendations for familiarizing institutions of higher education with the grounds for inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3) so that such institutions may monitor for and report activities by alien students and staff relevant to those grounds and for ensuring that such reports about aliens lead, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to investigations and, if warranted, actions to remove such aliens,” the order says.

Donald Trump Cancels Flights for 1,600 Refugees: Report

President Donald Trump has cancelled flights for 1,660 refugees from Afghanistan who were previously cleared by the government to come to the U.S., according to Reuters.

The 1,660 Afghan refugees who have been taken off flights include family members of active-duty U.S. military personnel, unaccompanied minors flying to the U.S. to reunite with family, and those who fought for the former U.S.-backed Afghan government.

Trump’s suspension of U.S. refugee programs and subsequent cancelling of flights is detailed in a report from Shawn VanDiver, the head of the #AfghanEvac, a coalition of U.S. veterans and advocacy groups, and an anonymous U.S. official.

Newsweek reached out to the Trump transition team for comment via email outside of business hours. Newsweek also reached out to the U.S. Department of State for comment via a form on their website outside of working hours.

Trump’s suspension of U.S. refugee programs is significant because he is following through with the immigration crackdowns he mentioned during his presidential campaign.

Further, by cancelling the flights of Afghan refugees, the president is mirroring actions from his first term, as he signed an executive order barring people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the U.S. for 90 days in 2017.

EU state demands ‘honest life’ from future citizens

Immigrants hoping to become Swedish citizens must demonstrate that they have lived an “honest life” and commit to respecting the Nordic nation’s liberal values, under new rules announced by Migration Minister Johan Forssell

The new regulations were proposed by a government-appointed commission and adopted by the government this week, Forssell said at a press conference on Tuesday. They will come into force next year

Under the new system, immigrants applying for citizenship will have to prove that they have resided in Sweden for eight years, and that they have lived an “honest life” – with no criminal convictions or outstanding debts – both before and after arriving in Sweden

Currently, Swedish authorities only examine applicants’ conduct after arrival, and immigrants may apply for citizenship after five years

”This is particularly important at a time when Sweden has welcomed hundreds of thousands of people from many parts of the world in recent years,” Forssell told reporters. “You should feel proud to be a Swedish citizen, and you only feel proud once you’ve made an effort.”

H-1B Visa Undermines American Students and Workers

Last year, I committed to spending this year exploring the education-to-workforce pipeline. Higher education has long been seen as the start of that pipeline, with graduates transitioning from classrooms to careers. My interest in this topic dates back to my time working for Governor Phil Bryant in Mississippi, where I assisted Laurie Smith in studying how the state’s community colleges and training programs prepared graduates for the workforce. The results were underwhelming—a topic for another day. For now, a more pressing issue is the role of the H-1B visa in this pipeline.

In this week’s top article, Rob Jenkins connects higher education to the H-1B visa program, framing the debate over whether to support the program as a proxy for assessing the quality of U.S. education. He poses a critical question: Are colleges and universities producing enough top-tier talent to meet economic demands—and if not, why?

Jenkins argues that American higher education bears responsibility for leaving graduates behind their international peers. He cites a June 2024 Gallup poll showing that only a third of Americans have confidence in U.S. universities to prepare students for the workforce. This crisis of confidence, Jenkins contends, stems from a combination of social promotion in K-12 schools, the dilution of college curricula, and the prioritization of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) over academic rigor—all of which, he believes, contribute to the nation’s reliance on foreign labor.

Stats Show Almost One in Two Young Somali Men in Oslo Commit Violent Crime

Official statistics out of Norway reveal that almost one in two young Somali men aged between 15-24 living in Oslo have been charged with a violent crime.

According to figures from the Norwegian Central Statistics Office, 483 ethnic Somali men in that age bracket have been prosecuted for violent crimes.

That compares with 32 out of 1,000 ethnic Norwegians who have been charged with assault.

As we previously highlighted, a 2019 study out of Norway found that children of migrants commit more crimes than their parents.

According to the data, Norwegian born men aged 15-35 with a Somali family background were 4.6 times more likely to have committed a violent crime.

Men in the same age group with Iraqi backgrounds were 4 times more likely to have committed a violent crime, while the same pattern is observed in Moroccan Norwegians (3.2), Turkish Norwegians (2.8), and Pakistani Norwegians (2.4).

Chronic problems caused by mass migration have again been in focus over the last week as Elon Musk takes Keir Starmer’s Labour government to task over its refusal to approve a new inquiry into Muslim grooming gangs.

Bidenomics: A Million Fewer Native-Born U.S. Workers Since Last Year

Just between November 2023 and November 2024, more than one million fewer native-born Americans were employed. The Biden-Harris economy is horrible for American citizens, and all the net job growth so touted by Democrats has gone to foreign-born workers, including an unknown number of illegal aliens.

Thank God Donald Trump is coming back into office, because American workers badly need a president and administration interested in protecting and promoting their interests rather than in bringing in the largest number of illegal aliens willing to work for low wages. Job numbers for November 2024 have come out from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and they tell a sobering tale about how American workers have actually lost jobs, not gained them, in total contradiction of Democrat propaganda.

Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni shared a chart from the BLS on Dec. 6, explaining, “There are now 1.1 million fewer native-born Americans employed than a year ago; all net job growth has gone to foreign-born workers, totally just over 400k since Nov ’23”. The BLS chart shows the major drop for “Native Born” workers and the rise in “Foreign Born” workers’ employment.

Muhammad is The Most Popular Name For Boys in England & Wales

Exemplifying demographic changes taking place due to mass migration, the most popular name for boys in England and Wales last year was Muhammad.

The Arabic name, which is shared with the Prophet Muhammad, overtook Noah to become the most popular name for boys in 2023.

Although it is being reported that this is the first time Muhammad has topped the charts, it would have actually come in at number one in multiple previous years had all the different spellings of the name been combined.

“In 2023 there were 4,661 Muhammads born across England and Wales, up from 4,177 in 2022,” reports the Telegraph.

“In contrast, only 4,382 Noahs were born in 2023, down from 4,586 the previous year.”

Meloni: ‘I’ll be called racist, but foreigners are overrepresented in violent crimes against women’

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has brushed off anticipated cries of racism to highlight the stark reality that a disproportionate number of foreign nationals are responsible for violent crimes against women in Italy.

Speaking on the World Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Meloni said, “Now I will be defined as racist, but there is a greater incidence, unfortunately, in cases of sexual violence, by immigrant people, especially illegally, because when you have nothing, a degeneration occurs which can lead everywhere.”

The Italian premier cited alarming statistics to support her claim. “Foreigners in our country represent 8 percent of the entire population, and in our country in 2023, there were 5,832 sexual assaults, and of these, 2,524 were committed by foreigners, i.e., 43.3 percent of the total committed by a representative 8 percent of the entire population.”

BOMBSHELL: FBI arranged Trump’s real foreign assassin’s entry into the USA

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) helped the Pakistani assassin, who planned to kill former President Donald Trump, to enter the United States.

Back in September, the Department of Justice said it charged a Pakistani national with ties to Iran in connection to a plot to assassinate a politician or U.S. government official on U.S. soil. According to reports, he targeted Trump.

Asif Merchant entered the country in April and was arrested on July 12 as he prepared to leave the country. It appears that Merchant was the Iranian threat the Secret Service was briefed on before Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

According to an X post of Fox‘s Bill Melugin, Merchant “was admitted into the U.S. via parole for ‘significant public benefit’ when [Customs and Border Patrol] encountered him at the airport in [Texas] in April after he flew in from overseas.” The sponsor of his parole “was the FBI Dallas office, for ‘security interests.'”

According to Melugin and the FBI, the Bureau allowed the Pakistani into the country so they could monitor him and build a case.

“Merchant was arrested on July 12th, nearly three months after he was admitted into the US. The FBI had eyes on him during this time, and utilized numerous undercover agents, who Merchant thought were hitmen he was hiring,” Melugin wrote.

According to reports, Merchant was trying to hire assassins to kill Trump on behalf of the Iranian government. He allegedly explained his plot involved multiple criminal schemes: stealing documents or USB drives from a target’s home; planning a protest; and killing a politician or government official.

He met with purported hitmen, who were actually undercover U.S. law enforcement officers, in New York. He allegedly told them they would receive instructions on who to kill either the last week of August or the first week of September after Merchant had departed America. He paid them $5,000.

Analysts are now wondering if Thomas Crooks, the attempted assassination suspect who was immediately taken down by Security Service, had been in communication with Merchant or any other people hiring to kill the Republican presidential nominee. News reports indicated that Crooks had multiple cell phones and encrypted accounts communicating with people in other countries.

Meanwhile, former FBI agent Steve Friend also told bestselling author and journalist Lee Smith that it’s unusual that Merchant “was in the country for several months before they executed the arrest.” He also suggested the feds did not have any proof Merchant had connections to the Iranian government or that he had intentions of targeting Trump before he came to America.
