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.

Absolutely true. It's astounding and amazing how society has allowed this to happen. We all (including the vast majority of liberals) have locks on our doors because we know there are those who will come into our homes, take what is ours, and even take our lives. Our borders are the doors to our nation. Whey would be lock the doors to our homes, but leave the doors to our nation open?
The question is ... what European in his or her right mind would want to live in the ME in the first place? Strangely enough, people from the ME come to the West because they wish they had our way of living...and then they proceed to destroy it and make it like life in their hell-holes of origin.
Free Tommy Robinson.
Trump should Pardon him, as an example of leadership for May.
He’s probably just saying what most Europeans are silently thinking. Silently, because they’d be hauled into court if they said it aloud.
The "fire wall" was Lybia and that POS Clinton bragged that she killed Qaddafi. The one wave of invaders is from Syria and good 'ol John McCain helped destroy that country. I think the Obama Administration knew full well that by pouring gasoline on the Mideast, that it would lead to a mass invasion into Europe. The EU needs the bodies to replace their native born who are going extinct.
My wife and I just returned from 10 days in Norway. It is an awesome country. She said we should go to England, specifically London, next. I told her there is no effin way we will be going to England.
If the people who are behind all the shipping/relocating people all over the globe keep it up another few years it will put a huge damper on travel industry. There won’t be any point seeing other places because all will be similarly ruined.
A: SOROS!
I’m guessing there are few Americans where you live who are living off the largesse of the state while indulging in occasional horrific crime and fomenting insurrection.
That’s kind of different than producing teevee shows you don’t approve of.
Correct mits already at a tipping point
Only war or mass deportation will solve it
These morons are still importing them
Invasion
You can, or so I am told, erase that with a button on your remote that indicates (in the degenerate international iconography) On and Off.
Try that with the Muslim immigrants. Good luck.
Trump exemplifies the FACT that “Reason, logic and common sense” are the keys to the survival of Western Civilization!
Absolutely SPOT ON!
Nice slogan, but never going to happen. They just don’t get it.
Norge certainly useta rock.
Good to hear that it is still a Good Place.
Algeria was a long-time colony of France during the war for its independence saw lots of pro-French move to France.
