"We simply must have control of our borders. People must know that if they come to our countries illegally, they will not get to stay. If we do not tackle this problem, the numbers will only grow. It will overwhelm our countries and our capacity to help those who actually need our help the most. Making that deterrent credible will mean doing things differently, breaking from consensus – and both [Meloni] and I are prepared to do that," the British leader said. (Related: British government may require illegal migrants to wear electronic tags as immigration detention centers run out of space.)
Meloni echoed Sunak's sentiments, emphasizing the necessity of controlling migration to safeguard countries and effectively provide assistance to those in need. Leaders in Europe have voiced similar concerns about the impact of mass migration on national identity and cultural values. These include Santiago Abascal of Spain's Vox Party and Hungarian President Viktor Orban. Recently elected officials such as the Netherlands' Geert Wilders and Slovakia's Robert Fico have also expressed their sentiment on the matter.NEW RECORD: Border Patrol reports 302,000 illegal migrant encounters in December alone
