Trump officials criticise UK for ‘letting people down’ on immigration
US officials have told diplomats in the UK that British people have been “let down” by successive governments on immigration issues.
In a memo sent to US embassies last week, American diplomats in Britain were told to gather information and begin investigating crimes committed by immigrants.
The telegram, which was also sent to other embassies in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, emphasized that it was an example of Britain’s failure to take action to “solve the mass migration crisis”.
“We have seen the British government in particular, time and time again, say that governments, whether Conservative or Labor governments, will take action to solve the mass migration crisis.” Times in question.
“And time and time again, even though people consistently voted for a resolution, or at least voted for relief from the pressures of mass immigration, nothing actually happened.”
The official continued: “If you look at Europe… we are seeing alarming increases in sexual assaults and violent, sexually aggravated attacks, particularly against women and young girls, by people from immigrant backgrounds, particularly people from Islamic extremist backgrounds.
“Everything from violent rape gangs and organized rape gangs in the UK to the targeting of young girls in other countries. We also see examples of human trafficking, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian attacks, often carried out by people from radical Islamic backgrounds.”
Independent He contacted the U.S. State Department for a comment.
A spokesperson told Times: “The United States is deeply concerned about the rise of immigrant-related violent crimes and human rights violations that threaten public safety and social cohesion around the world.
“Mass migration is a human rights issue. It regularly leads to increases in violent crime and human rights concerns, including human trafficking, sexual assault, displacement of local people, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian attacks, and breakdowns of law and order.
“Respect for national sovereignty, human rights and the rule of law is critical for international cooperation, domestic prosperity and human development.”
The note highlighting England can perhaps be considered as a continuation of the Trump administration’s interest in Britain’s borders.
During his state visit in September, Donald Trump told Sir Keir Starmer that he should use the military to end the small boat crisis and warned that illegal immigration could “destroy” countries.
Mr Trump said: “I told the Prime Minister I would stop this. It doesn’t matter if you withdraw the military.”
He said that his administration had prevented “millions” coming over the border, adding that migration “destroys countries from within”.
Turning to Sir Keir, he added: “I think your situation is very similar. There are people coming in and I told the prime minister I would stop it and it doesn’t matter whether you call in the army or not, it doesn’t matter what tools you use.”
“We’re destroying countries from the inside and actually alienating a lot of people who are coming into our country right now.”
The Prime Minister said illegal immigration was an issue his government took “incredibly seriously”.
