Interview: Rubio warns against 'flooding' migration, says Europe faces serious challenges

The Questioner criticized Western European countries for what he described as weak policies on immigration and assimilation, referencing claims about 'Sharia courts' and 'no-go zones.' Marco Rubio responded by acknowledging that Europe faces challenges but stressing the need for orderly immigration systems and strong borders.

"You can't flood countries with migration," Rubio said. "Mass migration is terribly, costly for any society. It's simply not sustainable over the long term." He framed the U.S. approach as selecting who may enter through an orderly process and contrasted that with what he characterized as uncontrolled migration during the prior U.S. administration.

Rubio did not provide new statistical evidence to substantiate the interviewer's claims about courts or 'no-go zones.' The Questioner's references to specific numbers (for example, "100 Sharia courts") were posed as points for Rubio to address; Rubio focused on policy and security implications rather than validating those precise counts.
