Trump Warns Europe: Regain Border Control or Face Downfall
Former US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to European leaders about the continent's migration crisis. He believes Europe must regain control of its borders and reassert national law to survive. The issue, he argues, is at a critical juncture and demands decisive action.
Trump's concerns are echoed by the current situation in many European cities. In the UK, cities like London, Dover, and other southern port towns have seen a significant rise in illegal migrant arrivals via small boats and informal crossings in recent years. This influx has led to increased tensions and a risk of ethnic conflict, as revealed by a study by Edge Analytics that found 1 in 12 people in London are illegal immigrants.
Across Western Europe, nationalist and populist parties are gaining ground, largely due to the migration issue. Trump warned European leaders about this crisis during his visit to Scotland, stating that Europe is at a crossroads and must act decisively on migration. He believes that Europe's failure to control migration could lead to its downfall, pointing to the unrelenting wave of migration from Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia over the past decade. This crisis has resulted in social fragmentation, rising crime, and political polarisation in Europe.
Immigration, particularly uncontrolled migration, is the defining political issue in Europe today. Trump's message is clear: Europe must regain control of its borders and reassert national law to address the migration crisis and ensure its survival.
