What SHOULD happen to “migrants without permission” (previously known as “illegal immigrants”)?She wants to send migrants who arrive on our shores without permission to prison for 4 years.
The choice
Live in a war torn country, no house, no food, cold and no future
or
Live in a prison in the UK, a roof over your head, 3 meals a day, not as cold and nobody is going to shoot you dead.
As a migrant what do you choose?
Me, i take prison.
If there is no deterrence, why have a law? Why not open the border to all comers? What if your circumstance was not “Live in a war torn country, no house, no food, cold and no future”…do you still qualify? How do you know if the country was war torn, if they had a house, any food, were cold, or had any future, unless you have a legally approved process that gets all that information…IF that’s the threshold?
I’m not saying Patel is right or wrong, or that you are right or wrong. I’m asking, “Are those the two extreme choices, and if so, who decides and why, and what would YOU do differently?
