Sajid Javid

That is why we have an asylum process and for the Home Secretary to say they will be rejected before hearing them is out of order

Although I would like to agree with you re leaving the wife and kids. Let's say you have only one child. That is 3 places to pay for, 3 mouths to feed on a cross continent journey, with little/no money, no access to health care and no access to sympathy given some of the responses on this thread. It is a very dangerous trip, I'm not sure I would want to risk my partner and 2 years' life in a little boat. But hopefully I will never be in that position to make that sort of decision

Anyway, for get all that - regardless of who they are and where they come from, it is a couple of hundred. They are not invading us they are either a) looking for asylum or b) looking for work - hardly bad things, are they?

It isn't a couple of hundred because you only know of those who were caught. It is estimated that around 2,000 entered illegally last year and over 2,000 the year before.

By allowing it you encourage it and eventually people will die doing the crossing as we have seen in Europe.

No, they're not bad things, but that's not the issue, plus nobody on here, to my knowledge, can be described as hard hearted simply for wanting border controls. Plus, this idea of having 'No money' is simply untrue, many of these people are paying around £5000 to traffickers, only a very small number of British citizens can access that kind of money, as I said, Iranians breaking into this country are economic migrants, and should be removed.

My position is pretty clear - they should go through the process. Not be told(illegally) by the Home Sec their claim will be refused before the case is heard

There at 65 million people in this country - like I have said, the coverage is disproportionate and making easy scapegoats for politicians
 
Brexit Gammon in "Don't like foreigners" shocker.

The correlation between posters, threads and attitudes is quite amazing.

PS Sajid Javid is an odious, dog whistling **** who shouldn't even be in the cabinet but then corruption gets you everywhere in this abysmal government.

It might seem a political scapegoat but it is illegal and people feel that it should be at least discouraged and/or prevented at least to prevent loss of life. We have seen the exact same sentiment in Germany where Merkel encouraged thousands to make the journey and thousands died and she is now barely in government.

Certainly also another question is why should I pay taxes to allow for illegal actions and/or to pay for boats to fly about the channel trying to prevent them?
 
What's the problem if immigrants cross the Channel in small boats? I thought we were invoking the Dunkirk spirit so you can hardly complain when people get inspired by it.
