On the other hand, it is necessary to qualify that we obviously do not consider a higher population in itself to be a good thing, unlike many neoliberals who are also capitalists. Our position is strictly that, given the entire world is overpopulated anyway (which we would have preferred to avoid in the first place), the world population should be allowed to distribute itself, whereupon currently richer and less densely populated countries would end up hosting a larger share than they currently do with closed borders. Neoliberals are likely to oppose policies that we advocate, such as limiting birth rate.

Actor Cate Blanchett calls for Gaza ceasefire and urges EU to step up support of refugees

Actor Cate Blanchett, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N.'s refugee agency UNHCR, on Wednesday urged the European Union to step up support of refugees and host countries and ensure the bloc's policy "focus on their protection and not on fortifying borders".

The Australian actress said she felt "shame and regret" over her country's hardline policies that for years has seen asylum-seekers sent to detention centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru and barred from settling in Australia.

The Oscar-winning actor also urged Israel to accept a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict.

Comments:

Bless you Cate! As a child of refugees, you have no idea how much it means to hear you speak the truth...

Excellent statement, immigrants aren’t leaving behind a comfy home, there is a reason behind their move.
The west complain about them yet their governments are a huge factor behind these homes destroyed.

Impressive and Eloquent!  Glad to see that such voices of influence are standing up for the right cause. Thank you 🙏

Thank you. Please speak for the people who are not able to speak. So many killed and still being killed. Their land now taken by Israel indefinitely (as they planned all along) please the innocent children suffering and their families too. These are human beings not collateral damage!!

As african regugees. Thanks for thinking about us.❤

A voice of reason, clearly heard amidst the clamour of suspicion and hatred. Thank you Cate. Thank you UNHCR.

This makes me want to support her more. Bless her for doing this work seriously.

Our enemies negatively spin a positive story using their MAP-phobia (part of their propaganda arsenal ever since Q-Anon):

https://vdare.com/posts/welsh-government-baiting-black-refugees-with-white-underage-girls

The commendable PSA:

“We understand that being a refugee isn’t easy,” one girl says. “Fleeing your country is difficult, but Wales wants you to help you feel welcome,” another adds.

A girl offers the council’s contact information, while another says that “we welcome anyone and everyone. We recognize your skills and talent.”

Well done Wales!

But what do our enemies focus on? Twitter link:

UK: Welsh Government is using 14-year-old Welsh girls to attract migrant men to the country

Migrants arriving in Europe come from Africa and Asia where pedophilia is wide spread.

Wales is using little girls to encourage migrants to move to Wales and claim benefits and housings.

VDARE link:

The girls are clearly under 15 and perhaps as young as 11. The council’s subliminal message is this: More than free stuff awaits you in Wales; take a look at our little girls.

The video reminds one that American universities use gorgeous white girls to recruit black athletes [There’s Recruiting, Then There’s Recruiting, Off the Cuff, February 23, 2004]. One of the more repulsive examples was Florida State University’s trying to lure Andrew Wiggins to its basketball team [FSU Uses Sexy Girls To Try And Land Top Hoops Recruit Andrew Wiggins, by Glenn Erby, Black Sports Online, December 6, 2012].

But at least the college bait girls have reached the age of consent.

Anyway, parents permitted communists to use their daughters as sex bait for “refugees” who will **** some of those girls, or least **** girls like them.

(Of course, our enemies also mischaracterize communism along the way. Actual Cold-War-era communist countries were infamous both for their closed borders and for their suppression of non-traditional sexual preferences:

How easy welcoming refugees actually is:

What I had recommended long ago (though I had EU countries in mind at the time):

https://cbsaustin.com/news/connect-to-congress/bill-offers-faster-path-to-american-citizenship-for-migrants-who-enlist-in-military-immigration-army-recruiting-shortfalls-marines-navy-air-force-united-states-armed-forces-service-border-security-politics-congress-rep-pat-ryan-congressman-john-james

(TND) — Lawmakers are introducing a bill to give migrants who enlist in the U.S. military an expedited path to citizenship.
...
“If folks have the courage to raise their right hand, swear an oath to protect and defend this nation, and put their lives on the line, then they sure as hell deserve the opportunity to become an American citizen.”

Ryan, who blamed the failure of the Senate immigration deal this week on “partisan posturing,” and James say their bill addresses two pressing concerns in the country: an influx of migrants looking for work and the severe recruiting deficits for our military.
...
“Immigration is both an economic and moral imperative, and giving specific America-loving immigrants who want to serve the country the chance to become citizens is a no-brainer,” James said in the news release. “Some of the heroes Pat and I served with in Iraq were immigrants, and I can’t think of a more deserving person to become an American citizen than immigrants who are willing to serve in our military.”
...
“The rationale is that these noncitizens serve the United States,” Johnson said. “We should honor them like they honored us and bestow immigration status and citizenship on them sooner as opposed to later.”

Thank you!

Volunteer from Tucson Samaritans is seen holding open hole in border fence and encouraging migrants to walk through as Republicans demand probe into the NGOs 'facilitating the crisis'
...
the migrants were transported to an encampment in the Coronado National Forest run by No More Deaths, a non profit working with the samaritans groups.
...
'As an organization that has been in existence for more than 20 years, we work to ease suffering and prevent deaths along the US-Mexico Border.

'The situation with asylum seekers offers challenges to everyone to respond in a humane, legal manner.

'This is what we do.'



The non-profit states its mission is 'to offer humanitarian assistance to migrants in the Arizona-Sonora borderlands' and later asserts that 'humanitarian assistance is never a crime.

The organization is sponsored by The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ, a 501(c)(3) charity which means donations are tax deductible.

Meanwhile, Tucson Samaritans says it provides, 'water, food, first aid, and other essential items to migrants who cross the border in southern Arizona.

The organization is supported by Southside Presbyterian Church and spent $13,804 on supplies in 2023, according to its website.
