The singer speaks out following comments by the likes of Home Secretary Suella Braverman - who's painted small boat crossings as an 'invasion'.
Brit Award-winning pop star Dua Lipa has said the way ministers discuss migrants is"short sighted and small minded".
The 27-year-old, born in London to Kosovar-Albanian parents, called for"more empathy" and said she'd been"hurt" by the way the government had discussed Albanian people. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has previously spoken of"Albanian criminals" crossings the Channel and likened the influx of small boats to an"invasion"."All those words thrown around about immigrants? I always felt London was an amalgamation of cultures. It is integral to the city.
"So when you hear the government talk about Albanians, for example, it hurts. It's short sighted and small minded, but it's the way a lot of people think," she told The Sunday Times. She said the rhetoric that"immigrants are coming into the country and taking jobs" will always exist, despite many having come to London and"earned their keep by working incredibly hard".
