Members of Parliament rejected a series of “totally pointless” amendments unelected Lords made to Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda plan over fears they could ground flights to Kigali.
The plan will now return to the House of Lords on Tuesday for further scrutiny after ministers suggested the amendments would water down the legislation.
Earlier Illegal Migration Minister Michael Tomlinson insisted that “we simply cannot accept amendments” that leave legal loopholes to ground flights
Macron’s explosive home front in the Gaza war
PARIS — In the days after Hamas struck Israel, French President Emmanuel Macron made a national address vowing his “unreserved solidarity” with Israel.
A month later, he swerved to redress the balance, organizing a conference to support Gaza, joining calls for a cease-fire. In the days and months following Israel’s ground operation and airstrikes, Macron has amped up his support for Gaza, organizing aid airdrops with Jordan and even dispatching a helicopter carrier turned hospital ship to treat a trickle … Read more

America’s Immigration Reckoning Has Arrived
In the summer of 2014, I joined a group of journalists in an organized visit to a Border Patrol warehouse in Nogales, Arizona. My daughter had just turned 5 the day before. As I walked out the door, I remember using my hands to smooth out the wrinkles on her school uniform as tenderly as if I were waking her up from sleep. I remember writing my daily note to her in our shared language—Eu te amo—with
Immigration 101, für die Franzosen – EURACTIV.com

Frankreichs politisches Chaos über sein Einwanderungsgesetz am Montag hat dazu geführt, dass ein ehrgeiziger Mechanismus zur Gewährung automatischer Einjahresvisa für irreguläre Arbeitnehmer abgeschafft wurde. Und es ist eine Schande: Die Legalisierung von Arbeitsmigranten ist eine gute Sache.
Die – unbegründete – Theorie, dass Europäer durch Einwanderer aus Subsahara-Afrika „ersetzt“ werden, bestimmt seit Jahren die politischen Gespräche in Frankreich.
Die Rhetorik kristallisierte sich während der Präsidentschafts- und Parlamentswahlen

Voiced by artificial intelligence.
BRUSSELS — Western leaders are grappling with how to handle two era-defining wars in the Middle East and in Ukraine. But there’s another issue, one far closer to home, that’s derailing governments in Europe and America: migration.
In recent days, U.S. President Joe Biden, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak all hit trouble amid intense domestic pressure to tackle immigration; all three emerged weakened
Suella Braverman is the most hated woman in British politics — and far nicer than you think – POLITICO
She’s the most divisive British politician of the age; the scourge of left-wing intelligencia whose fire and brimstone rhetoric on immigration makes even those within her own party flinch.
Suella Braverman’s suggestion this week that charities be banned from giving tents to the homeless was only the latest radical policy proposal from the U.K. Home Secretary to receive widespread liberal criticism — with even Tory Cabinet colleagues distancing themselves from her remarks.
For the second time in recent months, a

Biden’s Immigration Reckoning – The Atlantic
President Joe Biden’s administration moved boldly yesterday to solve his most immediate immigration problem at the risk of creating a new target for Republicans who accuse him of surrendering control of the border.
Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security extended legal protections under a federal program called Temporary Protected Status (TPS) that will allow as many as 472,000 migrants from Venezuela to live and work legally in the United States for at least the next 18 months.
With that decision,
