Poppy Coburn has called for "all migrant hotels to be closed" following mass protest from the community in Epping.
Speaking to GB News, the Assistant Comment Editor at The Daily Telegraph declared tensions have been "growing for years" between Britons and the Government over the migrant crisis.
Migrant protests broke out in the Essex town after 38-year-old Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl, just days after arriving in the UK.
The asylum seeker has denied the offences and has been remanded in custody ahead of a two-day trial next month.

Asked by host Matt Goodwin if Britons can expect more of the protests that took place in Epping, Coburn said: "I can't see how you're not going to see more scenes like this when you take away the democratic lever.
"People say 'I don't want this to happen in my community', and Government ignores them for years, because this is how long this hotel has been operating for, there have been tensions growing for years."
Highlighting her personal connection to the community, Coburn revealed: "It feels quite personal to me because I'm from Essex. I was born in Southend and I've been to Epping before. It's a really lovely town and I know the people from Essex are very generous people and they have a big heart, but this is unbelievable.
"The fact that they're expected to put up with one of their hotels right near a school right near the centre of town, being flooded with single men who they don't know who they are from all over the world, and they've been ignored by their local politicians for so long, I'm speechless, it is disgusting."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Warning of the frustrations felt by Britons reaching "boiling point", Coburn told GB News: "I think unfortunately, that is the future. In Epping, these protests have been going on for several days. They started out as like local families saying 'protect our kids'.
"I understand at the end it did devolve into more of a violent protest, but at the beginning, it's just people who are so fed up, they've been asking the legitimate way for so long and they've been ignored."
Calling for Labour to "shut all hotels" across the country, she added: "You look at Westminster and you go, 'you are putting people's lives at risk and you don't seem to care'.
"It's not good enough to say we've shut down 70 hotels, there are thousands of hotels operating across the country. Every single one must be shut, it's as simple as that."

Delivering his verdict on Britain's migrant crisis, former Labour Adviser Matthew Torbitt stated that the social contract in this country is "broken".
He told GB News: "I think the social contract isn't just frayed, it's broken, for anyone in this country trying to get on in life, regardless of immigration. If there's an end point, it will be a Reform Government, and that's where this is heading.
"I don't see any way out of this personally, and I think the pressure will become insurmountable when you've got a lot of Labour MPs with small and medium sized majorities saying 'if we're losing in Wales, in Scotland, probably to Reform, I'm out', and the pressure will come."
Chief Superintendent at Essex Police Simon Anslow said in a statement: "Disruption and offending is never an appropriate response, no matter the strength of feeling in this case, and on this issue.
"People protesting peacefully, lawfully and responsibly cause us, and the wider public, no concern.However, we can never, and will never, tolerate criminal behaviour of any sort and anyone identified as committing crime will be dealt with robustly."
