In the following speech from the floor of the Portuguese National Assembly, Mr. Ventura denounces recent changes to laws and administrative rules, which will guarantee a massive new flood of migrants into the country.

| 00:00 | Mr. President, Deputies, Secretaries of State, Madame Minister: | |
| 00:06 | The motion Chega brings here today is clear and comes from a previous motion — | |
| 00:11 | for the revocation of the rules in Law 23 | |
| 00:14 | of 2007 dated 4 July. The reason is simple, and that Portugal began to accept immigrants | |
| 00:20 | into its territory merely with the promise of a work contract, | |
| 00:25 | breaking a long tradition of the requirement of a work contract, | |
| 00:29 | a stabilized legal status, or something that provides assurance | |
| 00:33 | to what was to be laid out. | |
| 00:38 | The entry with the mere promise of a work contract is the same as not having any requirement, | |
| 00:42 | because obviously one who comes to do something else besides work | |
| 00:46 | will say he is coming because he has a promise of a work contract. | |
| 00:53 | Portugal has almost 800,000 foreigners who reside in its territory. | |
| 00:57 | And soon, with the standards this government put in place, | |
| 01:01 | 10% of the population in Portugal will be immigrants. | |
| 01:04 | Secretaries of State, Minister: we all see what happened in other countries in Europe. | |
| 01:10 | We were not naïve, and we have the example of others to | |
| 01:14 | to perceive what went wrong and what we should avoid. | |
| 01:18 | Portugal needs an immigration that is regulated, | |
| 01:22 | controlled, and in accordance with needed opportunities for its economy and its market. | |
| 01:27 | It does not need uncontrolled immigration, in many cases from | |
| 01:31 | risky countries that put in question the stability and enforcement of the national territory. | |
| 01:41 | And when, in the approval of this law, the SEF [Agency for Foreigners and Borders], | |
| 01:44 | which you wanted to extinguish, warned of the “call effect” — I quote, the “call effect” — | |
| 01:48 | that these legislative changes would have, | |
| 01:52 | it was not mistaken. Thousands, tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands applied | |
| 01:56 | to enter Portuguese territory without a visa, without a job, | |
| 02:00 | without social security, claiming to have a promise of a work contract. | |
| 02:06 | This year, the government took another step. It went forward with the automatic registration | |
| 02:09 | of immigrants from the CPLP [Community of Portuguese-speaking countries]. | |
| 02:12 | The risk warned of by all, by members of SEF, and other national political leaders. | |
| 02:17 | And the government insists in creating a true cauldron | |
| 02:22 | of migration in Portugal whose only objective is to satisfy their political interests. | |
| 02:28 | Together with the 2017 law, the automatic registration of CPLP citizens, | |
| 02:33 | a universe of almost 300 million inhabitants, will bring Portugal | |
| 02:37 | the worst examples that immigration brought to Europe in the 20th-21st centuries. | |
| 02:45 | I repeat, soon 10% of the population will be immigrant. | |
| 02:50 | [unintelligible] we could have more than this and numbers reaching 15-20%. | |
| 02:54 | In some areas like Odemira, the interior of Alentejo, Algarve, and the north of the country, | |
| 03:00 | the immigrant population is much larger than the resident population — without the government | |
| 03:04 | bothering to look at the problem as a problem or seeing it as a mere contingency. | |
| 03:11 | Madame Minister, Secretaries of State, when the country becomes whole, | |
| 03:16 | it moves. Watch — remember these words we say. We are warning you. Thank you. |

It’s amazing how western countries, one after another, apply the same policy about
immigration/invasion, at the same time. At 9 am you hear canada says just anyone
muzlimmm can pack and come, even if they come on tourist visa. No money, one year
or 99 years, lame blind or dumb, but must be muzlimmm. at 10 am Australia
announced and New Zealand. at 11 am all of western europe: no limit on immigration.
Britain is glad that not only its population under the short time sun is increased by 2
million every year, but more happy that 800 000 white infidels are leaving.
the problem anywhere they go is like Londonistan.
“And they will be selfish” \
All for votes. nothing else.
In these real democracies anyone stupid will be elected if he pimps his 9 year bint to muzzlimmmz.
Canada is a very sick country. They’re bringing in over a MILLION dirt people a year now. This is genocide. Whoever controls Crime Minister Castreau needs to be brought to heel.
