Trump: Europe is 'losing its culture' because of immigration
The Hill ^ | 12th July 2018 | MAX GREENWOOD

Posted on 07/12/2018 6:34:25 PM PDT by Ennis85

President Trump is railing against what he described as the migration of "millions and millions of people" into Europe, declaring that the continent is "losing its culture" to refugees and asylum seekers from the Middle East and Africa.

In an interview with the British tabloid The Sun published Thursday, Trump said that it is a "shame" that European leaders had allowed so many migrants to enter their countries' borders.

“Allowing the immigration to take place in Europe is a shame," the U.S. president told the tabloid, which his owned by conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

"I think it changed the fabric of Europe and, unless you act very quickly, it’s never going to be what it was and I don’t mean that in a positive way," he continued.

Trump's publicized comments came shortly after he arrived in the U.K. for a long-awaited trip on the heels of a tense set of meetings at the annual NATO summit in Brussels, where he delivered a blistering criticism of European allies and demanded that member nations pay more for defense.

The president's comments during his interview with The Sun, however, highlighted Trump's deeply held skepticism of immigration and resurfaced a line of attack that he had used often on the campaign trail – that Europe was being overrun by non-Europeans and was quickly becoming a shell of what it once was.

"I think you are losing your culture," he told the tabloid. "Look around. You go through certain areas that didn’t exist ten or 15 years ago."

In fact, migration levels to Europe have declined recently, dropping to numbers more common prior to 2015, when an influx of people sought to seek asylum on the continent to escape conflict and humanitarian crises in the Middle East and Africa.

First thing they are going to lose is going to be American tourists. Then they will have no money.

He is a heat seeking missile of truth. Sure, you can send up some flares, but it won’t help.

If migration declines slightly for awhile, that doesn’t solve the problem. The invaders already there are setting up enclaves, becoming established, breeding, affecting culture and law.

Notice how the TRUTH always is “controversial” these days, that’s why The Hill is running with this story.

And the same people who trumpet to the heavens about diversity will, amazingly, claim that he’s wrong.

I wonder whose idea it was to flood all the First World countries with all the dreck of the Third World.

Because this is definitely being done on purpose.

The press will moan and groan and the British will quietly think, this man is so right. We understand why he is elected. Trump woke up America, now he is waking up England. If they are anything like us, the regular folk are opening their eyes, and the press is having conniptions, wondering how they are going to stop the Trump train.

Trump uses direct language, but how would Iran act if 2 millio westerners moved into Iran....half into Tehran? Would the Mulahs appreciate pubs, fish and chip stands, and Beatles Posters, decorating their city? When the Brits called for fair elections, free speech, and women’s rights, how would that go over? My point is, allow immigration to to Europe only on the condition that it be allowed in equal numbers into the Middle east. Yep....common sense.
