The following report is by The Trends Journal:
Nearly one million people sought asylum in Europe last year—not including the more than four million from Ukraine—as conditions in poor countries worsened and food insecurity increased.
Switzerland and Norway saw some of the biggest increases in applicants, in what has been called “dimensions not seen in Europe since the Second World War.” The number is up by about half from 2021 and the most since 2016.
The largest groups of asylum applicants were Syrians, Afghans, Turks, Venezuelans, and Colombians. The latter three, as for many other citizenships, applied in record numbers.
The European Union Agency for Asylum said
Syrians (132,000) and Afghans (129,000) were by far the largest groups.
In 2016, 1.2 million people applied for asylum due to conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa. Last year, the increase was blamed on the easing of COVID-19 travel restrictions, food insecurity, and conflicts.
Ukrainians were able to obtain temporary protection and did not have to undergo an asylum procedure, but the reception systems of EU countries have come under high pressure and asylum authorities still needed to cope with increasing numbers of applicants.
The agency said about 885,000 applicants last year entered the system for the first time and was up by two-thirds from 2021 “when repeated applications in the same EU+ country had accounted for a relatively high share.”
Some 80,000 repeated applications were received in 2022, a tenth less than in 2021 but nevertheless the second most since at least 2014. Some 43,000 applicants claimed to be unaccompanied minors, the most since 2015 but still equivalent to 4 percent of all applicants, in line with recent years.
The agency said.
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has reported extensively on increasing poverty levels across the world due to COVID-19 lockdowns that have had an incalculable impact on the global economy and the poor.
The lack of diplomacy and sanctions tied to the Ukraine War has just exacerbated these problems.
TREND FORECAST: Again this is old news to Trend Journal subscribers.
A year before the COVID War was launched in January 2020 the world was descending into the New World Disorder.
Back in 2019, protests raged from South America to Africa, from the Middle East to Asia to Europe, with millions taking to the streets in numbers never seen before fighting against government control, corruption, income inequality, poverty, violence, and crime.
And politicians across the globe were fighting against angry mobs who wanted to overthrow them. Then, suddenly, when the COVID War broke out during the Chinese Lunar New Year 2020, governments locked down their nations and locked down the protests.
In 2021, the uprisings and revolutions that were sweeping the world before the COVID War were still repressed with draconian COVID lockdown mandates. And, the tighter the lockdowns, billions of people sunk deeper into economic despair.
We had forecast the protests would escalate into civil wars and civil wars would spread to regional wars, as citizens by the millions flee their nations for neighboring safe-havens.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The refugee and migrant crisis as we know has been ongoing for years unabated. And I am here to tell you, just as The TJ has pointed out before as well – if you thought it was bad now, just wait until the debt market implodes, the everything bubble pops, and practically everything starts to meltdown in the financial sphere; the migrant crisis will get so crazy it’ll make your head spin. If you thought it was bad now then get ready to have your mind blown.
In my report “Are You Awake? Are You Ready For What’s Coming? Do You Loathe The Honeycomb??,” I covered a lot of the different curses God will send on a nation that rejects and turns its back on him. But there was one curse particular I did not go into detail about, and that is the curse of refugees and asylum seekers, and those coming in stealing everyone’s land, property, jobs, leading to higher taxes and insurance. And this has been going on in America and Europe for a long time for this reason, because they have hated God’s word, and it will now only get worse.
[32]Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. [33] The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: [34] So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. [43] The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. [44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Deuteronomy 28:32-34, 43-44
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

this sermon couldnt be more fitting.
Illegal immigration or refugees coming into a nation is God’s judgement on a nation that rejects Him and His word the King James Bible, and Deuteronomy 28:32-34 plus 43-44 show that.
Come to America and you wonder why there’s so many undocumented immigrants and not just Mexico or El Salvador or other parts of Latin America, but Filipinos, Chinese, and many more are flooding America.
