A chief US official has branded mass migration a “threat to Western civilisation” after GB News revealed that Donald Trump is due to warn Sir Keir Starmer of the damaging impact of the crisis.
Speaking to GB News’ Ben Leo, the Principal Deputy Spokesman for the Department of State Tommy Piggit explained just why the President is calling on Sir Keir to address the migrant crisis.
The DC spokesman explained that the leaked document revealed a call to “make sure we’re raising and tracking these issues” as well as holding the “effects of migrant crime that are really affecting so many countries”.
“It’s important to call this out. All of the harms that have been that have been felt by this. So that’s part of this effort,” he added.
When grilled on why America is concerned with the wave of migration, the spokesman added: “Mass migration and especially illegal mass migration is a threat to Western civilization. It just is. For the entirety of Western civilisation.
“We’ve seen the impacts of this. We’ve seen the migrant crime that’s resulted. We’ve seen the increased prices that have resulted, destabilisation of communities that have resulted from this.”
The official American memo, which has been seen by The People’s Channel, reads: “We encourage your Government to ensure that policies protect your citizens from the negative social impacts of mass migration, including displacement, sexual assault, and the breakdown of law and order.”
The US State Department issued the memo to American Embassies in Europe, including Britain, telling officials to “urge governments to positively respond to their citizens’ growing discontent related to unmitigated migration”.

The communique cited “organised rape gangs in the United Kingdom” as an example of how mass migration has damaged European nations – a phenomenon which Mr Trump warned about during his sit-down exclusive interview with Bev Turner.
Mr Piggit continued: “Unfortunately, our own country is not unknown to this because of the previous administration, the worst border crisis in US history that we had here, the migrant crime that resulted.
“We are very clear that the era of mass migration is going to end under this administration, and that will help everybody.
“The mass migration we’ve seen is a threat to Western civilisation and our country.”

Weighing in, Ben commented: “I’ve seen it firsthand in your country.”
“I went down to the southern border in Arizona, and I spoke to Border Patrol, who told us the exactly the difference between President Biden’s administration, your administration, that they’re basically being allowed to do their job and protect the border and protect American people.”
“We see it in the UK. I’m sure you’re aware we have 50,000 small boat migrants, strange men from faraway lands, don’t know where they’re from, what their intentions are, just walking into the country on dinghies.”
The memo cites other countries, such as Sweden, which is said to have convicted an Eritrean migrant of raping a 16-year-old girl.
The migrant was allowed to remain in the country after a judge ruled the incident was not an exceptionally serious crime.
In Germany, nine men, several of whom were migrants, have also been convicted for the gang rape of a 15-year-old.
Mr Piggit said: “It’s horrendous. It’s horrendous what we’re seeing here.
“And then we’re seeing on top of this, Governments that are often prioritising migrants over their own communities, over their own countries. It’s outrageous.
“It needs to come to an end and we’re taking steps to bring it to an end.”
