Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that massive and uncontrolled migration is destabilizing the sovereignty of several countries, which is a serious issue that must be resolved as soon as possible.

During his participation in the annual Munich Security Conference in Germany, the Republican strongly opposed an idea proposed At the end of the Cold War, in the early 1990s, the idea of ??allowing the free movement of people from one country to another was considered extremely dangerous. “This was a foolish idea that ignored human nature and the lessons of more than 5,000 years of recorded human history, and it has cost us dearly,” he said, referring to the migration phenomenon that has been increasing for years in some European countries and in the United States. A supporter of the anti-immigrant policies promoted by President Donald Trump, the diplomat of Cuban descent urged European nations to reinforce the security of their borders in order to preserve their identity and strengthen their sovereignty. “We must control our national borders, controlling who and how many people enter our countries. This is not an expression of xenophobia. It is not hate. It is a fundamental act of national sovereignty,” he emphasized. From the perspective of the 54-year-old Republican, allowing mass migration and Uncontrolled immigration is a grave mistake that nations must avoid, as it puts future generations at risk. “It is an urgent threat to the structure of our societies and the very survival of our civilization,” he stated. It should be noted that, just over a year after Donald Trump returned to the White House, his proposal to carry out the largest deportation of undocumented immigrants and to reinforce the U.S. border to stop them has been strengthened by deploying thousands of federal agents across the country to conduct daily arrest operations.According to a year-end report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), 1.9 million immigrants self-deported from the United States during 2025, and more than 622,000 were forcibly removed from the country. Furthermore, the fear generated by the prevailing anti-immigrant policies in the United States led to a drop in illegal border crossings not seen in 50 years.
