It’s become the disease of affluence: How do wealthy countries limit, restrict or totally bar migrants (whether they arrive through regular channels or otherwise) who are seen as ills to be shunned rather than solutions to be treasured? A country like Australia would be a shadow of itself without its […]
Nigel Farage’s pitch to “hijack” Tom Homan and bring him to Britain “to secure our borders” was delivered as a joke at a US event. But the specific person Farage chose to praise, and the political moment in which he chose to praise him, make the remark worth taking seriously […]
They all call it “far right” on account of that Party’s “remigration” policy of dealing with what is widely considered by Germans to be excessive allowance of immigrants into Germany. There is no other basis on which that term or phrase “far right” is being applied to the AfD. Obviously, […]
Twenty people landed in Monrovia this week as the opening installment of an agreement that will eventually send up to 1,200 deportees from the United States to Liberia – a west African nation with no direct connection to most of the people it’s about to receive. The arrangement is being […]

Part I Hegseth’s remarks come at a sensitive moment for transatlantic relations. Questions regarding U.S. military commitments in Europe, NATO burden-sharing, and future defense cooperation have generated uncertainty among European governments. Some analysts argue that public criticism of allied domestic policies risks complicating broader strategic coordination at a time when […]
The mass crossing into Ceuta last week did more than overwhelm a small Spanish enclave on Morocco’s northern coast – it laid bare, in the space of a few days, almost every structural weakness in Europe’s approach to migration at its African frontier. Tens of thousands of people, mobilized in […]
For much of the past four years, Ukrainian refugees occupied a unique place in Europe’s political landscape. They were not viewed simply as migrants but as symbols of resistance, victims of war, and living reminders of a conflict taking place on the European continent. Governments opened their borders with unprecedented […]

EU countries activated the Temporary Protection Directive for the first time in history to swiftly grant […]
