Polish police have arrested 11 human smugglers who were attempting to bring approximately 12,000 illegal migrants into the EU. Germany was the destination for most of the migrants. Polish authorities have already issued entry visas in 7,000 cases due to the fraudulent activities of this gang, according to a report by Polish Radio.
According to reports, the 7,000 illegal immigrants come from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Serbia, Algeria, Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Ghana, India, Cameroon, Kazakhstan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nepal, Rwanda, Ivory Coast, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. The perpetrators had listed hotels, farms, and restaurants in Poland as the supposed employers of the economic migrants. However, the owners of these establishments were unaware that they were to employ these individuals. The true goal was to migrate into social welfare systems – primarily the German social welfare system.
This spectacular case, which the German mass media are downplaying, demonstrates the undiminished appeal of German social benefits from Russia to India to the Ivory Coast.
The arrested human traffickers face prison sentences of up to eight years in Poland – a range of sentences that, given the scale of the crimes now known, can be expected to be significant. In Germany, by contrast, an entire industry thrives on international welfare fraud: calculating profiteers of misery who, as a rule, are left unmolested by the state and the justice system. In doing so, Germany creates risks for all of Europe and rewards criminals for their brazenness.
Are Christians Still Safe in the EU?
Meanwhile on Christmas Eve 2025, two incidents shook Christian communities in Cologne and Edinburgh. These are, of course, only the tip of the iceberg and represent a growing wave of attacks on Christian institutions across Europe.
During the well-attended Christmas Mass at Cologne Cathedral, a masked person forced their way into the sanctuary. The intruder wore a black cloak, a gold mask, and plush ears. His excessive behavior abruptly interrupted the service and frightened many worshippers, including children. Cathedral guards escorted the unknown individual out, who loudly resisted. The police found no criminal offense and did not launch an investigation. The motives for the incident remain unknown.
In the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, the attack on the Catholic St. Patrick’s Church was far more brutal. Unknown perpetrators destroyed the Nativity scene, desecrated relics, and beheaded a figure of the Christ Child above the altar. They left bloodstains throughout the church. The congregation condemned the act and announced prayers of repentance. The church had previously been the target of threats and break-ins.
Both incidents are not isolated cases. They are representative of a pan-European trend. The latest report from the monitoring organization OIDAC Europe recorded a total of 2,211 anti-Christian hate crimes in 2024. The number of arson attacks on churches nearly doubled, reaching 94 cases. A third of these occurred in Germany. Personal attacks increased from 232 to 274.
Official police crime statistics list 337 anti-Christian offenses in Germany – an increase of 22 percent. Experts, however, estimate the actual number to be far higher; cases of vandalism to church buildings alone could exceed 2,000. They warn of growing intolerance that is increasingly threatening the previously open spaces of churches. The number of unreported cases is considered considerable.
Starmer Stirring Up Racial Strife
That the left-wing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has a double standard is an open secret: while he draconically persecutes native patriots and critics of mass immigration, he always welcomes migrants – even those with criminal intentions. Starmer recently welcomed the arrival of the Egyptian-British activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah and expressed his “delight” in a public statement. The case had been of “top priority” for his government, he declared.
But Abd el-Fattah is no stranger to controversy. Immediately after his arrival in the UK on Friday, screenshots of his outrageous statements surfaced online. In several posts from 2008 to 2012, he unleashed unbridled hatred.
He has confessed: “I am proud to be racist against white people.” He also advocated the killing of police officers. He insulted Britons, calling them “dogs and monkeys.”
Robert Jenrick of the Conservative Party sharply criticized Starmer’s jubilation. “No one should be imprisoned arbitrarily or for peaceful disagreements. But the Prime Minister should also not use the authority of his office to back someone whose own words descend into the language of racism and bloodshed.” Shortly afterwards, Jenrick went further, demanding that Abd el-Fattah’s British citizenship be revoked.
The hate preacher became a British citizen in 2021 through his London-born mother. In Egypt, he was considered a symbolic figure of the “Arab Spring” and was imprisoned several times under various regimes. A presidential pardon allowed him to be released in September before he travelled to Great Britain.
The case also sheds a revealing light on British law. The Public Order Act provides for prison sentences of several years for “incitement to hatred.” However, this generally only applies to native Britons – haters who have immigrated to the UK have free rein.
Top US Politicians Express Concern
US VP JD Vance is worried about Europe’s future if immigration continues unchecked.
It is against this backdrop that top American politicians increasingly see the security of the United States threatened by a Europe overrun by hostile foreigners and fundamentally altered. Even before Donald Trump took office, then-US Senator and current Vice President JD Vance warned of Great Britain as potentially the “first Islamist nuclear power.”
Such concerns trouble Vance more than ever today. In a recent interview with the independent British platform UnHerd, he painted a bleak picture of Europe’s future. Unchecked immigration is undermining the cultural identity of countries like Germany, France, and Great Britain, he explained.
However, a parallel epidemic of abuse by immigrants plagues the United States, exemplified by the Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota. There, in the Feeding Our Future scandal, 78 defendants—many of Somali descent—were charged with defrauding over $250 million from federal child nutrition programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. They created shell companies and fake daycares to claim reimbursements for meals supposedly served to thousands of nonexistent children, with funds siphoned off for luxury vehicles, real estate, and even wired overseas, potentially to support terrorist groups. Recent investigations, sparked by a viral video exposing empty or non-operational Somali-run daycares receiving millions in public funds, have led the Trump administration to freeze all federal child care payments to Minnesota and prompted FBI probes into widespread fraud potentially totaling billions.
Nuclear States
The development in the EU however poses a direct risk to the US according to Vance, given that both France and Great Britain possess their own nuclear weapons. Vance expressed concern that the open-borders policy could foster “destructive ideas.” Ultimately, he warned, nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of actors seeking to harm the US. He specifically referred to politicians with an “Islamist-oriented” agenda who are already achieving electoral success at the local level in Europe. He stated that it could not be ruled out that these forces would seize power at the national level within the next fifteen years.
His warning was intended as an appeal to European partners to reconsider their policies. The US still feels closely connected to European civilization, Vance emphasized.
This position is also reflected in the US national security strategy recently published by the Trump administration. The document warns of a “civilizational loss” in Europe caused by demographic change, low birth rates, and immigration. It predicts the emergence of a “non-European majority” in some NATO countries and assesses migration from predominantly Muslim regions as a threat to the transatlantic alliance.
The Trump administration’s concerns focus particularly on the nuclear arsenals of France and Great Britain. The danger is real that they could fall into the wrong hands in the not-too-distant future.
