Uncontrolled immigration is an “existential challenge” for the West and “multiculturalism has failed”, the UK Home Secretary warned this Tuesday.
In a speech in Washington on Tuesday, Suella Braverman questioned whether the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees was “adequate for modern times”. Asylum can be sought.
“Uncontrolled immigration, inadequate integration and a false theory of multiculturalism have proved a toxic mix for Europe in recent decades,” he said, adding that “in cities across Europe, from Paris and Brussels to Leicester,” we can see the failure of multiculturalism. ”.
At an American Enterprise Institute think tank event, the British minister said immigration was “too much, too fast and with little thought about its impact on integration and social cohesion”.
“If culture change is too fast and too big, what’s already there will be diluted” and “disappear,” he said.
The British government’s stance comes as Rishi Sunak’s administration deals with the refugee crisis in the United Kingdom in an effort to block small boats from crossing the English Channel, which has already seen 24,000 migrants this year.
