"A Nationalist Look at National Rally's Immigration Policies"

White Papers takes a look at the immigration policies put forward in National Rally's recently released manifesto titled L’Union Fait la France.

Madame Le Pen and her protégé, Jordan Bardella make a series of sweeping promises wrapped up in grand language.

Ending birthright citizenship, deporting illegal criminals, amending the constitution, and restricting immigrant access to benefits.

The party also promises to radically reduce legal immigration, a very necessary step to reverse the demographic trends of the Great Replacement.

Still, the policies put forward by National Rally seem insufficient for their self-proclaimed task of preserving the French nation.

More than 2 million immigrants in France entered the country illegally, but Le Pen focuses only on the criminals.

And while the manifesto promises to radically reduce legal immigration it does not go into detail as to how.

Le Pen has, in the past, made promises to denaturalize and deport criminals and fraudsters, but this pledge did not make it into the current manifesto.

Nationalists can only hope that Le Pen and Bardella's intentions are much broader than those laid out in their published election paper.

🏭 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, retired U.S. Army Major General John G. Ferrari said he had 'grave concerns' about America's ongoing reliance on China to equip its military.

🔶️ Chinese manufacturers are deeply embedded in U.S. defense systems, providing critical technology and raw materials used in everything from air-to-air missiles to fighter jets.

🔶️ General Ferrari, who served as a deputy commander for NATO in Afghanistan, admitted that Beijing could cripple America's ability to arm itself by cutting off supply lines.

🔶️ 'If we were in a war with China and it stopped providing parts, we wouldn't be able to build the planes and weapons we needed,' he said.

No quick fix

🔶️ A startling report released earlier this year revealed Chinese firms have a stranglehold across 12 critical technologies that are vital to US national security, including nuclear modernization, hypersonic and space technologies.

🔶️ The study, which was carried out by defense software firm Govini, delivered a damning indictment on the American armaments industry.

🔶️ 'U.S. domestic production capacity is a shriveled shadow of its former self,' the report said.

🔶️ 'Crucial categories of industry for U.S. national defense are no longer built in any of the 50 states.'

🔶️ Perhaps most worryingly, Govini found that more than 40 per cent of the semiconductors that sustain Department of Defense (DoD) weapons systems are now sourced from China.

🔶️ Advanced semiconductors are crucial components of missile guidance systems, cyberware and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

🔶️ It has sparked fears that Beijing has been left with an array of tools to sabotage American defenses, from planting defective chips into air-to-air missiles to embedding spyware into DoD systems.

🔶️ 'You can't just turn around on a dime because the [manufacturing] capacity doesn't exist here,' he said.

🔶️ He added that it could take 10 to 15 years for the U.S. to disentangle itself from China.

🔶️ 'It should be "Buy Allies", because the U.S. does not have the capacity to solve the problem on its own.'

🔶️ The US built up its reliance on Chinese manufacturing during an era of relative harmony between the two nations following the 1990s.

🔶️ Yet the DoD's reliance on Chinese equipment has continued to grow. Between 2014 and 2022, American dependence on Chinese electronics increased by 600 per cent, according to Govini.

🔶️ Courtney Manning, senior research scientist at the nonpartisan American Security Project, said the trend has been 'driven by profit'.

🔶️ But contractors have pointed to a dearth of domestic options, with U.S. manufacturing in terminal decline.

🔶️ A study by think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies has said the conflict in Eastern Europe has highlighted how quickly the U.S. military would run out of munitions in a potential conflict with China in the Indo-Pacific.

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 US in talks to send Israel’s Patriot systems to Ukraine

🇷🇺 Transfer of up to eight batteries would mark shift in Israel’s relations with Moscow

🔶️ But the batteries, which have been used in Israel’s current war with Hamas, have not yet been discontinued due to concerns that tensions with the Iran-backed Hizbollah militant group could erupt into a full-blown war.

🔶️ Israel has been cautious about taking sides over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine given the clout Moscow holds in Syria, where the Israeli air force often acts against Iranian proxies.

🔶️ Former officials and analysts said the Israeli systems would most likely be sold back to the US, which could then send them on to Ukraine.

🔶️ But they added that the bigger question is whether Israel is prepared to alienate its on-off ally Russia, despite Moscow’s ever-closer relationship with Iran.

🔶️ Israel has previously denied Ukrainian requests for air defence systems. It also has an agreement with Russia that allows Israeli jets to access Syrian air space.

— 🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations:

'While Iran deems the Zionist regime's threats to launch an attack on Lebanon as psychological warfare, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue.

All options, including the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, are on the table.'

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 Mike Pompeo, at the Free Iran Summit: "I'm convinced that you all, in your lifetime, will get to celebrate that very moment when the regime in Iran collapses."

Today, I spoke before the Free Iran 2024 Summit in Paris in support of a democratic, non-nuclear Republic of Iran, after the Iranian people overwhelmingly rejected the mullahs' theocracy by boycotting their sham elections. I highlighted the need to provide political support for the organized resistance and to recognize the right of the Iranian protesters and Resistance Units to confront terrorist entities, such as the Revolutionary Guard Corps, to secure freedom for their noble nation and people.
