I'll try and cover all the responses I've had to my post here.
At no point have I mentioned "immigration" I am talking about "illegal immigration" People who enter this country illegally, there are plenty of them. I barely recognise the term immigrant these days because people who are classified as immigrants are second, third or more generation people and were born here so I certainly don't consider them migrants. I also condemn any violence no matter by whom it is committed.
The people who enter the country illegally are definitely a burden on our society no matter how you paint it, if the daily cost to house them is currently £2,920,000,000 a year (£8m/day) then that is in anyone's book a lot of money and the number is growing - we already cannot afford the failing services already mentioned so how can adding over 30,000 which is the number of illegals who came here on boats in the year to March 2023 (which was significantly lower than the previous year) help that? I remind you there are already millions of people (of all colours, cultures and creeds) struggling in this country I don't think we have the capacity to increase that burden. It really isn't a question of choice in many respects.
I know and appreciate that many migrants work in key critical roles in many of our essential services and I have never criticised them that is not the point of my post.
I want to know what the Government plan to do about the 30 - 50 thousand who are going to land on our shores this year?
