Anti-Immigration Movements Gain Ground in Canada, Ireland and Beyond

Citizens in Canada and Europe are increasingly pushing back against migration due to concerns about crime rates, welfare dependency, and the fiscal burden on society. In Canada, groups like the Dominion Society advocate for mass deportations, while Ireland has experienced a rise in anti-migrant protests and policy shifts aimed at managing asylum accommodation. European nations like Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands show data indicating overrepresentation of migrant-origin populations in crime and welfare systems.
