Breitbart: Migrants Benefitted From £7.6 Billion in Universal Credit Welfare in Britain
In 2023, over a million migrants in Britain accessed the universal credit welfare scheme, costing taxpayers £7.6 billion. This subsidy supports low-income households, and migrants are eligible once they obtain refugee status or indefinite leave to remain.
Critics, including Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, argue that this financial burden on taxpayers is unacceptable and call for stricter immigration controls. Data shows that certain migrant groups are more likely to claim benefits and commit serious crimes compared to British citizens.

Immigration officers discovered individuals hiding in a freezer and a cupboard during raids at Zan Chinese Restaurant in Hawkhurst, Kent. Following intelligence about illegal workers, two raids in 2022 led to multiple arrests and a fine of £135,000 for owner Shaojian Chen, who failed to conduct proper employment checks.
The Home Office has called for a review of the restaurant's operating license due to Chen's uncooperative behavior and repeated violations of immigration laws. The council's licensing committee will address the case on March 18.
Breitbart: Podcaster Gavin Newsom Needs Another $2.8 Billion Loan for Medi-Cal to Cover Illegal Aliens
California Governor Gavin Newsom is requesting an additional $2.8 billion loan to sustain Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, following a prior request for $3.44 billion. The financial strain is largely attributed to the inclusion of illegal immigrants in the program, which has exceeded budget expectations by $2.7 billion.
As a result, California's Medi-Cal is facing insolvency, prompting concerns from state lawmakers and comparisons to other states like Illinois, which is also struggling with similar issues in its Medicaid program.

Le Monde: Hungarian parliament passes a bill banning Pride events
Hungarian lawmakers have passed a law banning Pride events and enabling facial recognition to identify attendees, reflecting a crackdown on the LGBTQ+ community by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government. The law, which passed 136-27, amends assembly regulations to penalize participation in events deemed to violate "child protection" legislation.
Budapest Pride organizers condemned the law as a means to silence dissent and target minorities. Orbán's administration claims its policies protect traditional family values and children from "sexual propaganda," despite criticism from rights groups and the European Union regarding discrimination against sexual minorities.

Fox News: The temptations and risks of free Wi-Fi
Public Wi-Fi offers convenience but comes with significant security risks. Unencrypted networks can expose users to data interception, malware attacks, and man-in-the-middle threats, making sensitive information vulnerable to cybercriminals. Identifying unsafe networks is crucial, as hackers often create fake hotspots.
To enhance security while using public Wi-Fi, users should consider employing a VPN, maintaining strong antivirus software, enabling two-factor authentication, using complex passwords, keeping software updated, and avoiding sensitive transactions. Reliable sources for legitimate free Wi-Fi include WiFi Map, local libraries, and the Wi-Fi-FreeSpot Directory.
