Trump Slams Europe Over Immigration, Says ‘Horrible Invasion’ Is Killing the Continent
Michael Dorgan, Fox News, July 26, 2025
President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland on Friday and wasted little time lashing out at European leaders over mass immigration, warning that the crisis is “killing” the continent and calling it a “horrible invasion.”
Trump fulfilled a key campaign promise by effectively closing the southern border with Mexico while Europe and the U.K., in particular, are still struggling to get to grips with the crisis as dozens of boats packed with illegal migrants continue to pour into the country every day from France.
“On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore,” Trump said to reporters after landing at Prestwick airport on Friday evening.
“You got to get your act together and last month we had nobody entering our country. Nobody. Shut it down. And we took out a lot of bad people that got there with Biden.”
Biden repeatedly had single days when apprehensions ranged from 8,000 to 10,000 migrants, with his highest single month being December 2023, when 249,785 Border Patrol apprehensions were recorded.
“Biden was a total stiff. And what he allowed to happen,” Trump continued, chiding his predecessor.
“But you’re allowing it to happen to your countries and you got to stop this horrible invasion that’s happening to Europe.”
“Many countries in Europe, some people, some leaders have not let it happen. And they’re not getting the proper credit. They should. I could name them to you right now, but I’m not going to embarrass the other ones. But stop this. Immigration is killing Europe.”
