    It is the UK governments fault...not France, Europe or the immigrants.   If the government closed down and arrested the people running the sweat shops, farmers basically using slave labour,

I think they relinquished that right once they left France, so i think you'l find they are illegals

I think they are suppose to apply for asylum as soon as they arrive in UK .. If they do not do that .. Yes then they are illegal immigrants and will work in the 'black' economy ....

This subject is always a hot potato and just ends up with both sides shouting at each other.  Neither side will convince the other that they are right because neither side will believe that they are wrong.

 

There will always be those who hate the fact that Britain is a multi-racial country that is compassionate when it comes to asylum seekers and those who wholeheartedly embrace it.  I have a wife from Asia and we live in  Britain with our half caste son.

 

Ironically this board is full of immigrants to Thailand who have Asian wives or partners and many have their own half caste children.  And they have the nerve to complain about immigrants in their home countries.  Hypocrites! One and all. 

Yes but I am white and have money !! .... ???? .....

Don't worry  their "smuggler handlers " told them already to claim asylum as soon foot  on any British vessel …...don't you know they have also asylum agents ? And be sure the Telephone numbers & addresses of British Asylum Lawyers on pocket

No they arent. They are incorrectly calked illegals as an emotive call.

 

They request asylum, so until they are found to be refused asylum they are legal.

I  believe you are wrong on this.People who want to ask for asylum are required to do so in the first country they arrive.

As much as that is thrown around, not applying for asylum in the first country does not preclude an asylum seeker from seeking asylum in another country.   It is also not grounds for denying the asylum claim.

Yes. However, under the Dublin regulation, it doesn't forbid another country to accept an application, provided there hasn't been any previous application in another signatory country.

Hardy a way to discourage thousands more is it? Nigel Farage even proves a party of these illegal immigrants were given a tour of Liverpool FC, total insanity.

Got to give these migrants their due respect, for years farage and his like 

have been exposing the inherent evil of the EU and its member countries.

 

You can't blame them for taking the perilous journey across the channel

to get to the post Brexit utopia, they have heard about the impending 

collapse of the EU and that mainland Europe will resemble Syria as they

couldn't possibly exist without the UK.

 

Got to be the greatest endorsement of Brexit I've seen yet!

Your info has been repeatedly posted on this forum and constantly ignored by the usual group. However, thank you for again stating facts in the face of deliberate misinformation / vilification.

I have been following this thread and others ,it seems we have about 4 souls on here who are all for the invasion of Britain by these  deserters from their lands ,wonder what would have happened if all the men in Britain had run away when war broke out .

I know the usual people will come on and talk about "deflection" or how that is not the same ,but if life is so bad in their countrys ,and i see that most of these countrys are mainly Muslim ones ,why do they not head for a Muslim country or to the first safe place? why do they insist on coming to lands where most of the inhabitants dont want them? 

Because for the most part life is sh*t in muslim countries, especially if you have no money. it's even worse if you have no money and are black then you definitely don't want to end up in a muslim country where arabs are the majority, or the minority for that matter.  The truth is that if you don't have alot of money or you don't want to exchange your labor for money then western countries are the best place to be.  Western countries are also the best place to be if your a criminal, because instead of getting beaten when caught, in western countries you will get free food, accommodation  and masters degree in social science.

If you lived in Uganda and were fighting to stop the practice of child sacrafice, or speaking out against the practice of female genital mutilation in one of the many African and middle east countries, or perhaps living in Libya and combating the the slave trade of migrating Africans or maybe living in Afghanistan campaigning for the end of child brides then maybe your pathetic claim on xenophobia may hold some weight and not just be a sad attempt at virtue signalling.

The fact is mass immigration/top down enforced Multiculturalism is a political/election strategy of the Left that they adopted once the unions ceased to be their voter base to the extent they had prior. We are as entitled to reject this political strategy as we are any other. Personally I think Blair Mandelson and Roche et al should be serving long prison sentences for subversion of Democracy.

 

When did the British people ask for mass immigration/to become a Multicultural Society? None of us got the memo - there was no mention of it in any election manifesto or Queens speech opening Parliament. Nobody asked us. Any attempt at dialogue, even just on numbers, irrespective of where from, was met with a political strategy of screaming racist to shut down dialogue. We are entitled to reject something that was forced upon us like that and we don't have to explain ourselves according to someone else's politics (actually strategy). The UK has always been something of a cosmopolitan society, but that is not what I am taking about here. If you think we are racist or xenophobes because we reject a political strategy that is just what you think, so what.

 

No doubt you will "deflect" by screaming racist! when I am talking about a political strategy.

Difficult to square your conspiracy theory with "the left" when in fact its been a "right wing" government in power since 2010.

Why should France protect UK borders?  Cummings (Johnson) orchestrated a 'brexit' to regain 'control' of their borders.  Now is the time to control it by welcoming refugees fleeing countries at war.  Wars that were started by and profiting from by 'The West'.  Time for the west to take responsibility for all the suffering they cave caused for centuries.

Fleeing countries at war, yes their own countries at war, nobody else's. 

 

The UK has a moat, the cash spongers are trying to cross it from France, it is France with the problem, they should send them back to where they come from....

"At the same time, since mid-2018, there has been a significant rise in non-EU migration. This is likely to reflect labour market pressures, with the fall in EU work-related migration leading to shortages in some sectors and occupations, which have in part been filled by non-EU migrants. This substitution was facilitated by government policy, with the cap on Tier 2 visas for non-EU migrants (that is, relatively skilled or highly paid workers) being relaxed, particularly for those coming to work in the NHS, in late 2018, when it became apparent that enforcing the existing cap would further aggravate existing recruitment issues."
