Citizens Break Elite Consensus for Mass Migration in U.S., U.K., and Canada

Ordinary citizens have cracked the pro-migration establishment in Canada, Britain, and the United States — and may soon cement their win with laws curbing the wealth-shifting inflows of blue-collar and white-collar workers.

The latest crack came in the United Kingdom, where the recently elected yet increasingly unpopular far-left Prime Minister is trying to revive his polls by declaring opposition to the U.K. establishment’s policy of using migration to convert their cohesive nation into a bigger, multicultural, and chaotic economy.

“This happened by design, not accident … [the Conservative Party’s goal was] to turn Britain into a one-nation experiment in open borders … that is unforgivable,” PM Keir Starmer said on November 28:

This [left wing] government will turn the page. That begins in the economy because you cannot separate this [open border] failure from their refusal to do the hard work on skills [training for UK youths], on welfare reform, on giving our young people opportunities, rather than the easy answers of looking overseas …  Skills shortages across the country which have left our economy hopelessly reliant on immigration, 2.8 million people out of work on long-term sickness – a problem ignored, left to fester.

One in eight young people not in employment or education or training. Sectors of our economy, like engineering, where apprenticeships have almost halved in the last decade, while visas have doubled. So we are taking a different approach. We will publish a White Paper imminently – which sets out a plan to reduce immigration.

The success follows a series of politician replacements in the United States, Holland, Italy, Austria, and especially Sweden, and a policy flip in Canada.

“In many ways, U.S. policies drive similar policies abroad, particularly among our closest allies, so don’t be surprised to see other leaders promising immigration crackdowns,” noted Andrew Author, a former immigration judge at the Center for Immigration Studies. “That was plainly what British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was pitching his constituents last week,” he wrote on December 4.

In the United Kingdom, Starmer’s party started the migration flood in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which is now on track to convert the British population into an ethnic minority by 2050. His party also supported the mass migration policy pushed by the prior government’s Conservative Party leaders, first Boris Johnson and then Rishi Sunak, whose Indian parents migrated from Africa in 1966.

“Astonishingly, today, some 86% of all immigration into Britain comes from outside Europe — typically from India, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, and Zimbabwe,” UK immigration expert Matt Goodwin wrote. “How can you build an integrated, cohesive, prosperous, and high-trust society on this? … Does anybody even have a plan?”

The same rollback process is underway in Canada, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has suddenly put the brakes on his reckless immigration policy.

Trudeau is now widely expected to lose the 2025 election, partly because top bankers say his migration policy has damaged the economy.
