Pro-Immigrant Beliefs: British Capital and Donald Trump

pro-immigrant beliefs: Over three decades in public life, Johnson has shifted between social liberalism and right-wing provocation, according to Rabble. As London mayor for two terms between 2008 and 2016, he spoke of his pro-immigrant beliefs and presented the British capital as a tolerant, multicultural melting pot. Johnson has been a little of everything during his career. Responding in 2015 to untrue claims by Donald Trump that the police had lost control of parts of London to radical Muslim groups, Johnson said, London is a city where 300 languages are spoken, and spoke of the proud history of tolerance and diversity in the city.
