Trump: Europe is 'losing its culture' because of immigration

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, its never going to be what it was and I dont 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 didnt 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.

But it’s also gaining a wonderful culture where women are treated like cattle and honor killings bring honor to the murderer.

So is America.
Partner, I think we finally have a POTUS who understands the problems coming from Illegal Immigration that we encounter each day of our lives.
Europe's has had so many issues with these Illegal Alien vermin that we do not have the time to list all the crimes committed by them in European against the Europeans.
We have been saying this since 1965 and we have let in way too many Illegals and now Mexico will not even lift a finger to stop this on our border until we get a solid 2 wall system from San Diego, California to Brownsville, Texas. The only part that should not have a wall is the Big Bend National Park area since the canyons along the Rio Grande can not be climbed unless you have Navy Seals climbing.
Good fences make good neighbors as we like to say in Texas.
The walls will have cameras and sensors to detect any underground tunnels that come into the U.S.A.
This is the only way to stop these Illegal Alien vermin coming into the good ole U.S.A.
Also, I agree 100% that these Illegal Aliens if we continue not to fund the Border Wall will change the American Culture as we know it and it is already changing too.
The Illegal Alien Vermin do not want to speaker English and learn about our history. They need to be deported asap.
We have no sympathy whatsoever for these Illegal Alien Vermin in our country right now.

President Trump is absolutely right. And the U.S. is next on the list, with the massive migration of criminal aliens from the south.

Worse than losing their culture, these invaders just staked their claim for Allah in Europe. They will have to be driven out by force.

I doubt the Europeans, at least the western ones, have the wherewithal to drive out a herd of cats let alone the masses following Mohammed in their midst.
It destroyed the Roman Empire.

...
Trump knows immigration is being used to make countries more corrupt, so that corrupt politicians benefit.

Sort of like disgruntled liberals leaving their Northern hellholes for Southern climes and then trying to turn their new homes into what they just escaped from.

The President Donald John Trump.....who endured slander and defamation from ALL sides simply states common sense fact ...something ya college pukes dont seem to realize is that ya cahnt fix stupid nor can you teach common sense. In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

FUN FACT:
Sure, there were Algerians in Paris in the 1970’s, but when they rioted the police had the common sense to murder at least 70 of them and throw the bodies in the river.
