00:00Trump admin attempts to influence foreign allies on mass migration.
00:05The Trump administration escalated its migration focus, directing U.S. embassies to track crimes
00:10and policies tied to public safety and human rights.
00:15In a Threat on X, the U.S. State Department described mass migration as an existential
00:20threat to Western civilization that also undermines the stability of key American allies.
00:26Officials issued the directive to U.S. embassies.
00:29President Donald Trump's administration has a history of attempting to influence policy
00:33abroad.
00:34U.S. embassies also frequently monitor developments in their host countries.
00:39U.S. officials will now scrutinize policies in Western nations that give leniency to migrant
00:44crime and human rights abuses, or that create two-tiered systems that prioritize migrants
00:49at the expense of their own citizens.
00:51The department detailed on X.
00:54References to a two-tiered system appear tied to a U.K. case this year.
00:59when Prime Minister Keir Starmer was criticized for not launching a national inquiry into
01:03grooming gangs.
01:04It was commissioned in June.
01:06Investigators in Rotherham documented 1,400 children abused over 16 years.
01:12In Telford, up to 1,000 girls were abused over 40 years, with some cases ignored because
01:18of nervousness about race.
01:21Experts note that both citizens and immigrants commit crimes.
01:25Research using U.S. census incarceration records from 1870 to 2020 found immigrants to
01:30be significantly less likely than those born in the U.S. to commit crimes.
01:35Monitoring other countries' immigration policies is standard for the State Department, as they
01:40can impact deportations.
01:41And U.S. officials have delivered related training abroad.
