Reference News Network, November 29 report. According to the website of the U.S. "New York Times" on November 26, a document received by U.S. embassies and consulates abroad shows that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered U.S. diplomats in Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to urge host governments to limit most foreign immigrants, and require U.S. diplomats to submit reports when host governments "overly support foreign immigrants."
The diplomatic cable dated November 21 shows that Rubio has asked U.S. diplomats to emphasize the impact of immigration-related crimes to host governments and push for stricter entry restrictions. The content of this cable obtained by the "New York Times" has not been disclosed by other media.
The cable states that U.S. diplomats should "regularly engage with host government departments," expressing concerns about "violent crimes involving individuals with immigrant backgrounds" and "related human rights violations." The cable says such incidents "widespread damage social cohesion and public safety."
U.S. diplomats should submit reports on immigration-related crimes in host countries and analyze how host governments are handling these issues, including whether they have adopted policies that "overly favor immigrants and harm local populations."
The cable points out that these actions aim to gain "support from host governments and stakeholders to address and reform policies related to immigration crimes, defend national sovereignty, and ensure the safety of local populations."
The report states that the Trump administration often uses the term "sovereignty" to describe its efforts to urge other countries to reduce the reception of immigrants and strengthen border control — even though it is essentially imposing its own policies on other sovereign nations.
The report notes that Trump, his senior aides, and many supporters have long described large numbers of immigrants as a problem for the U.S. and Europe.
In September, Trump criticized the "globalist migration agenda" during a speech at the United Nations.
Rubio himself was born into a Cuban immigrant family, but during his 14 years as a Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, he changed his stance on immigration policy. Now, Rubio is working with Undersecretary of State Christopher Landau to implement the Trump administration's hardline position at the U.S. Department of State.
Last week, the U.S. Department of State issued an official statement on social media stating: "Mass migration poses a life-or-death threat to Western civilization and undermines the domestic stability of America's important allies."
The U.S. Department of State sent the cable concerning "migration diplomacy" on the evening of November 20. According to two U.S. Department of State officials, in another cable released earlier that day, the department also requested U.S. diplomats to include information on foreign governments supporting illegal or mass migration in the annual country-by-country human rights reports being compiled.
One of the U.S. Department of State officials said that the "migration diplomacy" cables were sent to U.S. diplomatic missions in close ally countries that "share Western civilization" with the United States. It was revealed that cables regarding migration issues in Latin American countries will soon be sent to U.S. diplomatic missions in Latin American countries.
This official also stated that Trump supports "high-tech" immigrants coming to the United States.
The cable lists 12 statements for U.S. diplomats to communicate with host governments, and an additional three statements specifically for European countries.
One of the statements reads: "We encourage your government to ensure that your policies protect your citizens from negative social impacts brought by mass migration, including displacement, sexual violence, and the collapse of law and order."
Another reads: "We urge your government to remain vigilant in upholding religious freedom, especially in preventing radical Islamic ideas from spreading among certain migrant groups, which has led to increasing anti-Semitic and anti-Christian incidents in migrant communities."
The cable provides no data to substantiate these claims, merely stating that such situations exist.
The report believes that many of the Trump administration's statements about migrants in Europe align closely with the rhetoric of far-right parties in those countries. (Translated by Liu Ziyan)
