I don't have the time to explain the context I've only been peripherally following the bickering due also to time constraints. I'll just say that I'm a very strong believer in human rights, no matter how much red tape they may involve. I'm very much aware of the privileged place I have found myself due only to a my birthplace. I find it a matter of huge regret that so many in the same position lack the empathy and compassion for others less fortunate. it's a fact that the UK, like so many other nations needs immigration to maintain the safety net which we enjoy and which is the magnet that draws those at most risk. the answer may not be to just open the borders, although all my life i have felt challenged by the very notion that national boundaries should even exist. (Back when I was teengaer I topped a state public service entrance exam with an essay on why they shouldn't). The reason we are in such a privileged position is because of the rape and pillaging of our colonial era. The obvious solution to the problem is to export our wealth to those regions where it's needed to raise the standard of living to a point where the mass migrations due to war and climate change won't be so much of a necessity. I also believe it means a heavy military and economic hand against fascist and undemocratic governments which are one of the major causes of such human suffering. In the meantime, we need to reply on world order type solutions such as international conventions and agreements to help level the playing field until and unless people get the message that some sacrifice by the haves is needed to fix the problem. 2

Why does Australia have dedicated RAN patrol vessels for picking up illegal immigrants in its waters? Why does Australia have a policy to never grant a visa or permission to stay for anyone that is caught attempting to illegally enter the country? Answers on a postcard. So we don't have the same problem England, Europe and the USA have. Also to stop all these boat people dying at sea. We're not silly you know. ????

sungod Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 10 hours ago, NanLaew said: Citation or it never happened. How about all this throwing the door open to all those NON-ECONOMIC refugees from Ukraine? If you were an Afghani family who had worked with the Allied forces in Kabul and spent years getting to a refugee holding camp, how would you feel when you are pushed aside for those Ukrainians that DROVE or FLEW to the UK? Thats why we should have a controlled process, so everyone can get access to the services they need. These Afghanis and Ukrainians have followed it and no one should be pushed aside. Its the economic migrants arriving illegally by the boat load daily that is putting a strain on the system, they are safe in France, they can apply to come to the UK from there and not queue jump by entering on illegal and dangerous routes. 1 1

We don’t need any because UK is not the type of country it was set up to protect against. Our Magna Carta has worked for our rights for 800 years.
