Trump said: “On immigration you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore.”

Blimey! Either some of you are on the cooking sherry and/ or losing your remaining marbles.

Can we drop the guest bedroom nonsense please?

They’re mainly economic migrants and everyone knows it.

Do you have proof of that?

Why don’t you prove they’re not? We all know many of them are. All men of fighting age. The odd few families with kids but not many.

I’d vote for Farage, Trump or even Mickey Mouse if it stopped this insanity.

Either that or they’re an army in waiting, just waiting for the green light as many think. Nothing would surprise me at all.

All those who don’t mind how many rock up on our shores with no ID may like to offer their own guest bedrooms.
Just a thought.😄

Of course it’s not right. But there’s many on here who will not see this. You’re banging your head against a brick wall. They love them. The more the merrier.

How many times do I have to say that I realise there is a problem. But we are dealing with fellow human beings here. And, thankfully, none of us have had to live in a war zone so we have no comprehension of what their lives are like.

Is there a war in Pakistan? Or Vietnam? I hadn’t noticed!

The boats took over where the lorries left off.The lorry drivers faced such severe sentences that they had to stop.Quite rightly.

Migrants still arrive in significant numbers by lorry, it’s just that public interest has moved on to small boat arrivals.

I think that the largest numbers of people here with no right to stay though is actually people who have arrived on a visitors passport and don’t leave when it expires.

Interesting!
According to migration watch the public aren’t told about the lorry arrivals.I guess you can hide those figures but not the boats arriving for all to see.
What about all the undetected migrants, who can really say what the figures are?
Things get worse.

What I can never get my head round with all these on here who love them is that are unable to correlate the fact that these individuals use up resources meant for British people, whether it’s schools bursting at the seams full of kids who can’t speak English, the nhs on its knees as they get treatment as soon as they arrive on the dinghies also the cost of interpreters in every language known to man, feeding them, clothing them, housing them, mobile phones, pocket money, it’s relentless. More and more every day. Someone somewhere is involved in this corruption and making lots of money from it.

Boz, as has been explained, people are not " illegal" until processes have been undertaken to establish this.
Those found illegal are then deported.
The government, and, indeed, the previous government, have been doing this.

Shouldn't have to wait for processes to determine whether they are legal or not. That's what's causing a lot of the current problems. If you rock up on a dinghy without valid papers (which let's face it an awful lot do) then that should say only one thing - illegal ! Instant deportation should be the only route they take.

It does seem like that at times on here.

Is it right to walk, or boat, into a foreign country and asked to be looked after in this day and age?

‘People’ 🫢

madeleine45 very well said; what a pity so many please are ignoring this. I’m very sad to see so many on here demonstrating their intolerance.

He’s got exactly the right name
His mother was a Scottish immigrant his father the son of an illegal immigrant who I believed made much of his fortune from brothels both parents were members of KKK
USA and Uk are built on immigration
Put your money where you hat is and refuse to be treated by an immigrant when you get rushed to hospital or land in a care home

This.

Oh, a bit like the white invaders to N America who displaced the Native Americans?
I suppose he should know, his grandfather was an illegal immigrant

(Sorry, FGT2, you know I like you really!!)

This is what the anti-immigrant lobby just fail to see. Trump isn’t talking out of any concern for social cohesion, he’s a racist.

Of course it matters where they are from Boz, even if you chose to ignore all the human rights issues, it’s not straightforward to return people to other countries all over the world. Trump is wrestling with that very issue currently.

It doesn't matter where they are from, they are unwelcome in a Country strapped for cash and with limited space.
Everywhere you go, you hear anti-immigrant rhetoric . Not just the inner city areas but in the fearful leafy suburbs where immigrants are housed in run-down hotels.
All this is making life difficult for those settled here legally; it is going to end badly.

It always amuses me that individual cars are occasionally asked, vous avez des immigrés? Like do you have wine and beer?

How amusing indeed.

Glad you like a bit of humour! 😁
If they looked in the back of my car two big sloppy dogs would greet them. Legal paperwork in order!

Would leaving the ECHR be the answer for Reform. They don't like Europe. Then you can do what you like re; immigration

The ECHR protects you and me. But hey, let’s forgo that protection if it takes protection away from people fleeing from war zones…

I’m sorry Aveline, but they aren’t predominantly black Africans. Here is the data.

Looking at the boats most contain young black Africans. 898 arrived yesterday alone. 1770 so far this week alone. 1770 to feed, accommodate fund etc etc. Can this be sustained?
I know it's not 'kind' however, when will enough be enough?
