The Prime Minister, who is currently on holiday, was urged to U-turn after it was revealed asylum seekers would be placed nearby at MoD Bicester barracks.
Piddington is home to just 250 adults and 46 children, meaning the migrant population could soon be more than double the number of local inhabitants.
In response to the plans, children from the village have written letters to Mr Burnham sharing their love for Piddington and wishing for it not to change.
“I think it's terribly sad what they're suggesting and proposing doing to this village,” Ms Lam said.
“It will quintuple in size by adding, as you say, 1,250 migrants. There are 300 people who live in this village.
“We know that it is a danger to the public, particularly to women and to children, to bring in very large numbers of migrants, the vast majority men, to live amongst British people.
“I think if I lived in Paddington, I would be very worried indeed. If I were a parent of one of those children, I would be especially worried.”
“I think it's unspeakably sad and totally, totally inappropriate. I don't know what the government is thinking,” she declared.
The Home Office confirmed earlier this year that it had sought planning permission for three sites to house thousands of small boat migrants.
