UK sends ships to prevent migrant surge

The UK announced Monday that it will deploy two border patrol ships in the Channel in response to a migrant surge crossing from France in dinghies that they probably got on sale.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid, the interior minister, said the Border Force ships would balance protecting human life with protecting Britain's borders. That is, they will not shoot to kill if they don't turn the hell around.

In December, about 230 migrants tried to make the 21-mile-long journey from France to Britain, Javid said, but "just under half have actually been disrupted by the French" and never reached British waters.

The attempts, chiefly by Iranian nationals, to cross one of the world's busiest shipping lanes have been made in dinghies and other small craft.

All to leave their beautiful countries to live elsewhere.

Javid said efforts were being stepped up to tackle people smugglers and to return migrants to France.

Britain and France agreed Sunday to boost bilateral cooperation over the spike.

In the coming weeks, the two countries will increase surveillance patrols, efforts to dismantle trafficking gangs and awareness about the dangers of crossing the Channel.

In a message to would-be migrants, Javid said: "We will do everything we can to make sure it is not a success, in the sense that I don't want people to think that if they leave a safe country like France they can get to Britain and then just get to stay.

"That's why I am working out ways with the French to increase the number of returns."

Arrivals on southeast England's Kent coast spiked over the Christmas period, with British authorities finding 43 people on December 25 and 26.

And on Sunday, authorities intercepted six Iranians near the Kent coast.

Merry Christmas and a hearty Allahu akbar.

A group of 12 migrants -- nine men, two women and a 10-year-old child -- were detained after landing on a Kent beach in a dinghy on Monday, the Home Office said. They presented themselves as Iranian.

"They all received a medical assessment and have now been transferred to immigration officials for interview," a Home Office spokesman said.

Alexandria Occasional-Cortex doubles-down on Jesus with migrant comparison in bizarre photo mimicking Mary and Joseph

A look that says: "Just wait until my
coronation"

Rep. - elect Alexandria Occasional-Cortex (D-NY) made a stupid comment about Jesus Christ being a refugee. She obviously doesn't know about the census in Judea and why Mary and Joseph made the journey.

Now she's doubling-down about their refugee status, and on Christmas night, the 29-year-old low-information socialist uploaded a photo that mimicked the religious iconic photo of Jesus with his parents, Joseph and Mary.

The darling of the dems and former barkeeper tweeted:

“True love is radical because it requires us to see ourselves in all people. Otherwise, it isn’t love. Love is revolutionary because it has us treat ALL people as we would ourselves – not because we are charitable, but because we are one. That is love’s radical inclusion,” 

She seems to be arguing that Christian love is comparable to poor immigration enforcement made in response to President Trump's law abiding immigration policies and his comments about stopping the migrant caravans from illegally entering the United States.

Occasional-Cortex evidently believes the Trump administration is betraying Christian principles through its immigration policy.

In an IJR interview with Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, he called such criticisms totally false.

“The Bible does not have an immigration policy,” Pavone said,  and explained that the Bible affirmed migrants’ dignity as persons, but also emphasized the importance of borders.

“The idea of borders and the idea of nations having borders is very biblical,” Fr. Pavone added and said that politicians should consider more than just “welcoming the stranger” when creating immigration policies.

On Tuesday, the incoming Rep. called Jesus a “refugee” on Christmas as a way to speak positively about refugees, because she doesn't know her elbow from her nether regions.

“Joy to the World! Merry Christmas everyone – here’s to a holiday filled with happiness, family, and love for all people,” she tweeted, adding in parentheses, “Including refugee babies in mangers + their parents.”

She was referring to the biblical account of Jesus’ birth in a stable manger, but in true Ocasio-Cortez fashion, she got the story completely wrong.

As noted by Luke 2: 1-6, Jesus wasn’t a “refugee.”

And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.

The Gospel of Matthew explicitly states that Mary and Joseph traveled to Egypt with the infant Jesus after King Herod of Judea ordered all boys under the age of two to be killed in Bethlehem.

When the family arrived in Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph registered for the census. They weren’t refugees or illegal aliens, they were obeying the law and immigrating legally.

Because obeying the law is the Christian thing to do, not the other way around.
