Debate in Europe framing illegal immigration from the third world as a problem is “dangerous”, the United Nations (UN) refugee chief has warned, insisting that the mass movement of peoples has been “a source of progress and prosperity since people first began to migrate”.
Despite the chaos in Europe, including jihad attacks, Muslim rape gangs, attacks on women, no-go zones and Sharia patrols, the rise in anti-Semitism that even Angela Merkel attributes “to people of Arab origin,” Filippo Grandi perpetuates a blatant lie in service of his unwavering globalist, utopian fantasy.
After Grandi met with U.S. State Department officials during the Obama administration in April 2016, the State Department immediately followed up with a media release, reaffirming the U.S. “commitment to resettle at least 10,000 Syrians in FY 2016 and increase the total number of resettled refugees from around the world to 100,000 by the end of FY 2017.” Then back in January, Grandi restated his Marxist view that for “‘wealthy states, especially European states, resettling large numbers of refugees on a scale like that seen at the height of the migrant crisis is perfectly doable.”
“UN Refugee Chief Denies Migrant Crisis in Europe, Declares Mass Migration a ‘Source of Progress and Prosperity,’” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, September 22, 2018:
Debate in Europe framing illegal immigration from the third world as a problem is “dangerous”, the United Nations (UN) refugee chief has warned, insisting that the mass movement of peoples has been “a source of progress and prosperity since people first began to migrate”.
“Distorted” political debate on the subject has led to Europe becoming “obsessed” with a migrant crisis that “does not exist”, Filippo Grandi said, urging EU politicians to stop squabbling “over a few boats” [of illegal immigrants].
In an interview published in the German press Thursday, he dismissed plans backed by Austria and Italy among other member states which would see asylum processing offshored and immigrants blocked from reaching European soil.
“As the United Nations High Commissioner [for refugees], I cannot support a proposal that would deprive people of the right to seek asylum in Europe. There are people who have very pressing reasons for asking for protection in EU nations,” he told Handelsblatt.
Speaking with the German daily, Grandi denounced recent comments by Interior Minister Horst Seehofer branding the massive immigration influx which resulted from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to open the border as having become “the mother of all problems”.
“Migration has been a source of progress and prosperity since people first began to migrate,” claimed the Italian, stating that the tendency of politicians to frame the phenomena as a “major problem” was “unfortunate” because it boosts the argument of people opposed to mass, third world migration….

What a blind ignorant idiot.
Phil Copson says
He is neither blind nor ignorant – he wishes to destroy Western society in pursuit of his murderous Marxist fantasies, so that he and his fellow jackals can pick over the ruins.
His kind have nothing to contribute to society – only a blind desire to act out their theories of how society should be remodelled according to their ideas and a pathological hatred of people.
Lu says
Exactly my understanding. One word comes to mind as well – traitor of its own kin.
Westman says
In ignorance of Islam’s ideology, he’s got his and wants to give away yours in an investment with no return. When will the UN be printing its “Little Red Book”?
Importing unskilled, poorly-educated Muslims is not a zero-sum game, it is a pie-shrinkage game.
Kim Bruce says
True!
Obviously Filippo Grandi knows nothing about Islamic migration, otherwise known as the “hijra” during which Muslims from all nations must answer the call and move from their mother lands and into lands of dar al Harb (The Land of War) and build their theocracy within that nation until it has become (dar al Islam) the land of submission.
This is not a case of refugees fleeing persecution…these young men are fighting age men, in fine physical shape, ready for battle with the Infidel (Us). No, this is not a refugee migration but an invasion.
WPM says
I think Filippo Grandi knows he is part of the one world agenda crowd. The way to get one world is bring the first world down to third world levels of chaos .The importation of large groups of Islamics pulls the first world resources away from running it economy ,it crushes culture making the first world into a mirror image of the third world these Islamic savages lived in. He writes they are asset because past immigrants were an asset ,past immigrants fit in and work with the native societies already in Europe They brought knowledge innovation ,non-Moslem East Europeans, non-Moslem Asian, Hundi , and other seem to fellow Western laws adopt Western culture and believe in the golden rule that breeds civilized culture exchange when they immigrant into Western Europe. The Moslems never had or wish to adopt western belief that all men are created as equal under their creations in the image of God a Jewish, Christian tradition that is the framework of European civilization. Moslems are taught they have nothing to learn from non-Moslems, they are superior to non-Moslem ,they have a slave master mentality in their relation to all outside their Islamic circle. They are taught not to question their god and to fight others who reject or question their belief in their god. It keeps them from questioning or reaching out to any outside influence of Islam to there reason to be walking and living on this earth. This one worlder states the lie that all beliefs are equal and can be made to adapt to and fit into to Western way of life. If the Koran ,the Hadiths , , Sharia law were written today not in the 7 century, publish with a large group following them they would be condemned by society at large and be called a deadly cult. Even a bad idea around 1400 years was bad to start with has not change in 1400 years it is still a bad idea today. Religious sanction slavery , murder , rape , child abuse , wife beating, honor killing were never good ideas , they do not encourage or advance any civilization to flower beyond a savage exitance lead by mad dictators .who are the masters while the huddle masses of slave citizens coward in fear ,but that is what one world believers want to advance
Terry Gain says
Most of these migrants are invaders who bring with them the ideology which turned their native countries into failed states and human rights cesspools.
Debate is dangerous because it will reveal the truth.
Linda Querel says
This guy is spinning outrageous lies. The proof is so overwhelming. Get out of the UN, they are dangerous.
StellaSaidSo says
The UN is indeed dangerous. It is the main driver of the globalist agenda.
Lydia Church says
Precisely.
He works with intent to harm.
The only ‘good’ coming out of this is for muslim conquistadors and welfare leeches.
Lydia Church says
He wants the downfall of Europe for the globalist agenda!
The only ones it is good for are the migrants and the globalists.
tedh754 says
You have to be a special kind of idiot to believe that drivel.
StellaSaidSo says
No. He’s not an idiot. He’s a globalist.
ronyvo says
“He’s not an idiot. He’s a globalist.”
What is the difference?
Jay says
Obviously this U N guy named Grandi, had a lobotomy and no one told him! He should be fired immediately, He is completely oblivious to the truth of the migrant invasion and the destruction it has done in England, Germany, France, Sweden, Greece, Italy, etc etc. He lives in complete denial!
I wonder who is paying him off? I am so glad Nicky Haley is our UN rep and exposing their corruption
on a daily basis. And that Pres Trump also sees the UN for the phony lies it propagates around the world, not to mention wasting billions of dollars! The United States needs to reduce our contribution to the UN and kick them out of New York immediately. Keep America safe! Keep our heritage and sovereignty intact! ??????????Trump,2020????????
A_M_Swallow says
Black emigration to the USA helped prosperity because slaves could be whipped into picking cotton. It snows in Europe so cotton does not grow and slavery has been banned. Consequently we do not need any Africans.
Indiana Tom says
Not in the long run and quite frankly America would have developed for the better without the slave crap.
It snows in Europe so cotton does not grow. It snows in most of the USA and and cotton is a specific geographical crop.
Tobacco was why the slave market developed originally and that grows in a wider area. Still a lot of tobacco areas were not wild about slavery.

j_not_a says
The ones needing “protection” are EUROPEANS. From muzlum “migrants”. From their rape, murder, robberiies, assaults, sexual harassment of women, molestations of European women and children,.
It’s so easy for clueless elites like this guy to prattle on about “human rights” “compassion”. But you know damn well hhe and his ilk live in tony, gated neighbourhoods.
Make him visit the Parisian banlieues, actually make him live there for a month, or in Molenbeek in Brussels, or heck even Thorncliffe Park in Toronto. With no armed security detail or limo. He’d be whistling a far different tune.
History 101 says
I suggest the UN idiots read some books.
Let them start with “Why the West rules – for now” by Ian Morris.
A brilliant book which explains in detail why in fact the opposite is true – that border controls are critical for strong, healthy society and that unrestricted migration has led to the collapse of societies throughout history.
Rosie Barnes says
The irony as always is that people like him and his kind would not actually allow a “migrant” within 100 miles of their own upmarket neighbourhoods, but are more than happy to dump them on the rest of us, particularly in areas which already have social and economic problems.
And, of course, their money and privileged lifestyles also ensure that they never have to experience the pressures and problems Third World migrants bring to education, healthcare, housing, and public services. Not to mention increased taxation to pay for it, as the majority go straight onto welfare.
Despicable.
James Lincoln says
The problem is that the West will eventually run out of “other people’s neighborhoods”.
Heidi Walter says
Time to get rid of the UN. It is a worthless organization and the money spent on them can go to a better cause, mainly the poor in in our countries. they are as worthless as the overpaid parliament members of the EU. Based upon the generous pay they should be able to take a lot of their beloved refugees in and pay out of pocket for them.
Gjallarhornet says
This is equal to Goebbels stating in 1944 that there was actually no war on.
FYI says
Or in terms of the denial of reality and wilful ignorance of the impending catastrophe caused by the myopia of political leaders and idiots like Grandi,perhaps similar to Hermann “Meyer” Goering’s famous{and quite funny}1939 boast..
“No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr,if one reaches the Ruhr,my name is Meyer”
As for that Globalist tool,the UN,it has blood on its hands:-
RWANDA 1994
The UN did nothing to stop it:but then of course there was no oil in Rwanda…
so no value to the elite..
Gjallarhornet says
You are right on every point. Guess somebody at the Eagle’s Nest quipped something about ‘Tell Mr Meyer to get his ass up here” when they heard the Ruhr was bombed. As for the UN debacle in Rwanda, I recommend General Romeo Dallaires book “Shake hands with the devil” – the general who was UN top command in Rwanda omits nothing in laying out the rottenness of his own organization.
jayell says
“UN refugee chief denies migrant crisis, declares mass migration “source of progress and prosperity”….absolutely! – progress and prosperity for the migrants, that is, but quite the opposite for everyone else
WPM says
A question to the UN how come the wealthy Islamic run countries like Saudi Arabia are not taking in a any Moslem refugees??How can Saudi Arabia with it record of public beheading for many small crimes, cutting off limbs for petty thief ,public floggings for sexually “crime” between consenting adults be on their human rights committee??What is the mission of the UN the downfall of western civilization??How many suitcases of money go from the Saudis to be dropped in off shore accounts that UN officials hold to keep these policies in place? Why is the UN head quarters still in New York it should be in Saudi Arabia they seem to be the ones calling all the shots on the UN policies on Moslem refugees ,and the West spending it wealth resettling the beasties from the Middle East , helping Western Europe commit culture and economic suicide .
dan christensen says
When UN Refugee Chief Filippo Grandi in 2018 bawls:
“Wollt Ihr den totalen Immigration? Wollt Ihr ihn wenn nötig totaler und radikaler, als wir
ihn uns heute überhaupt noch vorstellen können?”
Then immediately all Elites in the West cheerfully respond: “Ja ja – wir wollen den totale Immigration”.
brane pilot says
The UN has spoken.
Rapidly breeding refugees and migrants from overpopulated failed states have a basic human right to invade Western countries and be provided all necessities for a comfortable family life, in perpetuity.
Citizens of Western countries have no basic human right to resist invasion, tax enslavement, and ultimately being made an ethnic/cultural minority in their own countries.
OK. We get it.
What we get is that the UN has outlived its usefulness and it is time for the UN to be defanged or disbanded.
That is what we get.
James Lincoln says

nicholas tesdorf says
Let’s hope that Filippo Grandi, head of the UN refugee commission soon comes into closer contact with some “sources of progress and prosperity”, and that it clarifies the real situation in Europe in his mind.
It would allow him to see the nature of the “the mother of all problems”, which has overtaken Western Europe.
tim gallagher says
Surely Grandi can’t believe what he’s saying is true. No-one could be that stupid. I’d say that some of the past migration into Europe has been a positive and some a negative. that surely has to be the truth. This completely uncritical attitude of Grandi, that all migration has been a positive, is ludicrous. And he’s 100% wrong about calling this latest Muslim invasion of Europe a positive thing. It is completely negative. Also, when Grandi says the critics of the present immigration ( invasion is more accurate) are “dangerous”, well, that is complete garbage. Grandi, and people with his imbecilic attitude, are the greatest danger to Europe. How embarrassing to make a statement as stupid as Grandi’s. He can’t possibly believe what he says is true.
StellaSaidSo says
Tim, the UN is the main driver of the ‘One World’ globalist agenda. Grandi is not stupid, but he hopes we are. There are no coincidences in politics. This ‘invasion’ was planned by the elites in order to facilitate the implementation of their totalitarian agenda.
tim gallagher says
I think you must be right, StellaSaidSo. I was just struck by the extreme level of stupidity of the statement that Grandi makes when he says that all past migration into Europe has been positive. It is a statement that is so obviously, outrageously false. I know I couldn’t make a statement such as that when I know that it is complete garbage. I may be wrong about things but I always make statements that I believe are true. But I guess Grandi, and others like him, are well paid to tell outrageous lies. As you say, they hope we are foolish enough to believe their crap. What is the globalist agenda or vision? Do they want to turn every part of the world into a uniform third world type pile of garbage? It is a strange, hellish vision they have. This globalist agenda is a huge danger to us all. I have trouble believing that anyone could want to help bring barbaric Islam into civilised countries, but plenty of people, like Grandi, obviously do.
StellaSaidSo says
Sadly, yes, Tim, it is a hellish vision they have. World government, under a totalitarian regime, with the (culled) population living in uniform poverty, in designated areas with rationed resources and limited mobility. Implementation is well under way, top down and bottom up simultaneously. If you are not familiar with UN Agenda 21 / 2030, I suggest you check it out ASAP. Scores of local councils in Australia (and elsewhere in the West) have signed on to this, many seduced by buzzwords like ‘sustainable development’, which sounds eminently reasonable but basically means rationing of everything, including living space. There would be no invading Muslim hordes if invading Muslim hordes did not serve the globalist agenda.
Peter WF says
This idiot hasn’t read about the EU polly whose daughter, a volunteer at a refugee shelter, was rapped and murdered by a “refugee”!
This idiot still needs more proof!
Would it be a good idea, to crowd fund the purchase of a neighboring house to one of these idiots, and then turn it over to a refugee aid organisation?
Don’t turn over its ownership, just its use!
Nothing like first hand experience!
Frank Anderson says
Every time I see the title HIGH Commissioner for Refugees I have trouble. (Use your imagination!) Who originated this grandiose title? Who is it supposed to impress? All I see is a big ego trip for a first class evil idiot driven to destroy the countries, mostly the US that pay for his protected and lavish lifestyle. Where is his effort to send “refugees” to rich muslim countries? It is clear these invaders are being sent and used for conquest and economic destruction, certainly not advancement.
I wondered who the blonde woman was who appeared routinely in pictures next to the Iran representative during the “nuclear” negotiations until I found out her name, not frequently mentioned in US news was Federica Mogherini. When searching for information I found out she was a Communist until the Communist Party folded in Italy. She did a paper on Iran as part of her education. Then I understood how she became the Chief negotiator representing the EU, not one of the “Six Parties”. That is why she was always standing by the Iran rep. What is Grandi’s claim to fame that he is in a position to destroy Western societies and countries?
Vicky says
As long as America remains a member of this collective of pure evil, we bow down to it’s international authority over us. We ultimately hand over our sovereignty on a silver platter.
UN demands on the U.S. are why Obama filled our neighborhoods with Jihadis in the first place, and why Trump is STILL taking in jihadi ‘refugees’ from the middle east. The UN issues the orders to all nations advising them how many middle eastern refugees they must accept.
Like sheep world leaders obey.
There is no America, constitutional republic anymore. It has become a mere title.
Americans have allowed wicked leaders to change our government by constantly referring to it as a ‘democracy’, bringing us one step closer to being a socialist nation. Which is becoming reality because most Americans no longer even have knowledge that we are a republic, and the ones that do still know, don’t see the republic as something worth fighting for.
Proof? We are handing over our firearms like the obedient slaves we’ve become.
dan christensen says
UN refugee chief denies migrant crisis, declares mass migration “source of progress and prosperity”.
Of course it is – for him and his cronies. More mass migration means more bureaucrats, more paperwork, more influence and more salary – good for a UN refugee chief, but bad for taxpayers.
The UN refugee chief should be paid in inverse proportion to the number of migrant scavengers running loose in the West. More migrants means UN refugee chief with lousy performance.
KWJ says
When people talk about past migration and prosperity and progress, in the US, for instance, our big immigration waves are when we still had a large open frontier, meaning things weren’t built up. Now my hometown that was farmland is too built up onto the mountain thus coyotes, etc. coming into yards killing people’s pets. Same issue in California except with mountain lions.
Germany is the size of Montana. So, what exactly is the prosperity and progress third world migrants will bring if many are going on assistance, not being educated well, increase in crime that’s also costing the taxpayer, more drug selling and trafficking causing more of an underground economy, and still unemployment. Such people are not going to be able to step into jobs that require skills or education. I’d like him to explain that. Do they want it to be like China with high rise tiny apartments and low paying jobs? There are a lot of suicides in China.
Farms in the US use Mexicans for cheap labor as do other businesses in Texas…there are illegal day laborers all over Houston you can just pick up to mow you mr lawn or clean your house m, etc. So, who prospers? We’ve had some big cases of Middle Eastern migrants abusing food stamps at their little stores and other federal fraud. In England and here people are abusing daycares with state funds and they are not good daycares. That’s not to mention the 25,000 or so jihadis British authorities claim are there. The US has plenty of bad people here that apparently the FBI, et al. aren’t getting rid of. That’s not to mention many mosques using funds sending them overseas.
Turkey’s Erdogan and some politician there said that they could take Germany in 3 days. There are videos of Turks there having like a parade waving Turkish flags and act as if Erdogan is still their president. The implication is that Turks could create mayhem and already they’ve gotten into dangerous street brawls.
Remember during Turkey’s recent coup, Erdogan made a phone call to get his fans out on the streets, which they did. Refugees have caused riots and burning in Greece and elsewhere. What happens if these migrants are egged on? Then there are Muslims who have the idea Allah granted them everything-other people’s property and that has been expressed in the Middle East by some Muslims to non-Muslims, I.e., ‘I will take your home, your women, your kids.’ What good will these people do?
A Tunisian politician said the problems in North Africa come down to the People ultimately. Much could be developed, but now, for example, Tunisia and Mali have had to close tens of hotels and nice ones.
The politicians don’t explain much about their global projects, of course, but so far it’s a failure by measurable means and will limit the future progress, that is, how European and other countries became wealthy. The arrogance and greed, let alone thinking they have some justification for affecting people’s societies has become diabolical, especially comments about interbreeding and promotion of that. The UN is compromised besides by the OIC. It’s pathetic Europe made this deal with a least productive area of the Middle East and a totalitarian religion. Their plans are likely to create a bad and ill-conceived future…I can’t see otherwise. Already Europe is in degradation mode.
s says
How does it benefit a nation when people enter without speaking the language and collect in small towns to gain entry into government and to overtake the town and make it a no-go zone for others? People who come to take not to give. People who use the courts to implement their theocratic government with no regard for the nation they are to slowly conquer. I cannot understand the left whose members turn a blind eye to the reality they are implementing… and who use our laws and legal system against us. Do they truly believe they will not be harmed by the invaders? It is a fool’s utopia filled with death and destruction.
dan christensen says
UN refugee chief denies migrant crisis, declares mass migration “source of progress and prosperity”.
Yeah – that’s why western countries are fighting so hard among themselves to import more migrants. The politicians of western countries are constantly working to keep their borders open to cultural enrichers – in opposition to their dumb taxpayers refusing to see the blessings of becoming a minority.
