A British Politician Boldly Addresses the Issue of Migrant Madness
Bravo for Suella Braverman: The UK pol gave a thundering speech Tuesday in DC slamming the “misguided dogma of multiculturalism,” “uncontrolled immigration” and “inadequate integration.”
Herself the daughter of immigrants from Mauritius and Kenya, she condemned the “unprecedented levels of people coming into our country illegally with no right to be here.
“They are gaming our system, pretending to be refugees, pretending to be fleeing persecution to come to the country illegitimately.”
In reality: “Seeking asylum and seeking better economic prospects are not the same thing.”
Sound familiar? Such economic migrants are the overwhelming majority of the “asylum seekers” flooding over the US borders that President Joe Biden opened.
In another line that resonates, she noted: “Nobody entering the UK by boat from France is fleeing imminent peril.
“The vast majority have passed through multiple safe countries, and in some instances have resided in safe countries for several years.”
Why treat them as refugees (or asylum seekers) at all?
It should be obvious, but few dare challenge this madness for “fear of being branded a racist or illiberal.”
Even though uncontrolled illegal immigration has brought “heightened levels of criminality,” especially “in relation to drug crime, exploitation and prostitution.”
And “multiculturalism” adds to the perils: It “makes no demands of the incomer to integrate,” and so has “allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it.”
Which poses a real threat to the British (or American) way of life: “If cultural change is too rapid and too big, then what was already there is diluted — eventually it will disappear.”
Braverman, incidentally, is a Cabinet member — the British Home Secretary. Imagine Alejandro Mayorkas or Antony Blinken saying anything like this.
We, like most Americans, believe in legal, rational, controlled immigration, the very kind that produces the likes of Suella Braverman.
What the left is pushing across the West is anything but that.
Thanks to Braverman for making the case better than any American politician has.
