Muslim Immigration

Recently I posted about the effect Muslim immigration is having on Europe. Mark Steyn says old Europe is dying under the weight of Muslim immigrants.

But it may be that Bush's policies are having the desired effects around the world and not just in the Middle East.

The BBC reports "Asylum falling around the world ".

The number of asylum seekers coming to the industrialised world fell by a fifth in 2004 to its lowest level in 16 years, according to the United Nations.

The refugee agency says applications fell by 40% since a high in 2001.

And what can we attribute to this dramatic decline?

However, the number of asylum seekers from Afghanistan and Iraq continued to fall - the two nations formerly having produced some of the largest movements of people into Europe in recent years.

Thank you Mr. Bush.
