James Cleverly has said the UK's goodwill towards migrants "is not a bottomless font" as he argued wealthy nations must help developing ones avoid "haemorrhaging" people.In a major speech in New York on Tuesday, the Home Secretary said Western powers must help would-be migrants to "stay and thrive at home" in order to stem the international migration crisis.Answering questions afterwards, he said there could be "large-scale" migration to Europe from Africa, the Indian sub-continent and Southeast Asia as they become richer and people who were previously too poor to consider relocation acquire the financial means to do so."As these parts of the world become wealthier, there may be an initial but potentially temporary pressure for large-scale human movement to the high-GDP-per-capita countries," the Cabinet minister said.He argued that Western powers should support those countries in ensuring they are "safe and prosperous" to prevent an outflow of people and a "devastating" talent drain.
