When I think about the UK

NAS71232

I worry about it. Without hopefully not getting a thread lock, I want you to just think about something.

If random people can enter the UK via the Engilsh Channel on a dinghy, they get rewarded with a house and money. 

What if they are criminals fleeing persecution?

Should they be allowed to roam free amongst our children without documents?

  • You are right to be concerned about security in my opinion. But you won't get a sensible unbiased discussion online. The Dublin System does not work well, so Brexit is a bit of a red herring in my opinion. Other countries also face problems.

    Nothing will happen because it suits too many people to continue and no one wants to be unpopular. Eventually the money will run out and benefits and public services will need to be cut for all to pay for people to feel good about themselves.

    Our borders are porous so people get smuggled into Europe too now.

    There is a significant amount of organised crime involved.

    Around 70% of illegal immigrants to the UK have passed through an EU country beforehand. Before Brexit the UK was not open to as much illegal immigration, that is a fact. Other EU countries certainly were and still are, Greece and Italy especially. Before Brexit the UK was not near a border that was porous to non-EU citizens and the legal right to return immigrants to the first EU country they had entered, if not always perfectly enforced, was better than no right whatsoever, which is the current position.
