Just watched 47 migrants being deported, costing hundreds of thousands, private flights, huge number of security guards, the migrants then get given cash cards! Back to Romania after committing crimes here including murder, sexual offences, pedophiles with money to help them resettle in their own country.

ITV news - our own go hungry and cold.

We are total mugs here in the UK.

On a separate story migrants having taxis to appointments, free NHS. I mean we have to get to our own way.

Mugs. No wonder many people are unhappy. These are convicted criminals, being pandered to.

So how come we have an absorbed 11.1 million extra people since 2000. It is a colossal amount. That is the actual statistic. How many deportations are taking place each week? We are seeing thousands arrive daily, so how are we policing our borders exactly? It’s non existent.

Can we have a link to that “actual statistic”? Will it turn out to be like the one you provided for 79%?

So fucking what! It is a free meal, in a free room and they are fortunate to be offered anything at all.

Most of the world would offer them a place on the back streets. Your wet naivety is extraordinary. Would you prefer avocado on sourdough, or a menu designed by a specialist dietician just to ensure they are content?! You have no idea about the real world…. Totally checked out of reality.

Edited

The naivety from these people is astounding. It’s like they don’t live in the real world and have never stepped outside their street.

Private health care escalates. You think it's OK but you end up paying a fortune for every little extra. Yiu have no idea. Do you know what it's like in US. Most people here simply wouldn't get the treatment they need..

I live in the US part time, so yes.

They have done precisely nothing!!! No plan to do anything. It’s just a free ride for everyone looking to exploit our goodwill.

Look at the new home secretary's plans. Look at the 6 month figures that show that net migration has halved. Wait for the full year figures in November and see if that number is still tracking.

You're lost to GB News.

We already have open borders just in case you hadn’t noticed!! For the love of God.

This is just not true. It does your argument no favours, spouting hyperbolic tripe.

Where are you getting your figure of 11m from? From a quick Google:

The total number of net immigrants (those arriving minus those leaving) to the UK between the year ending June 2012 and June 2021 was approximately 2.2 million, though the figures have been revised upwards from previous estimates. The Office for National Statistics(ONS) also reported that the foreign-born population in England and Wales increased by 2.5 million from 2011 to 2021, growing from 7.5 million to 10 million.

And the vast majority of this is legal immigration. You know, when the NHS goes to countries like the Philippines and India and recruits health care professions?

Why would you deport legal immigrants? 🤣

They are literally sending people back. That's what sparked the subject of this thread.

"Why aren't they sending people back to their home countries"
Government sends people back
"Rage"

It will always cost money to process claims and to remove people whose claims are found to be ineligible. I'm not sure how I feel about the 2000 but it's likely the cheapest option the government found.

Spending money on public awareness in some of the origin.xountries.to counter mistaken lies told by people smugglers that " when they got to the UK they would be entitled to everything free- a home, benefits, childcare, healthcare" is also a good cost effective way to deal with the problem. But will also generate outrage that the governments spending money in other countries.

I’ll never understand the mentality of people who spend their whole lives fretting over immigration/Johnny Foreigner. If you’re struggling yourself then trying to improve your own lot is going to be a lot more effective than whinging online about national/internatiinal scale issues. And if you are well off, what a weird way to spend your time.

This government is evidentially NOT worse when it comes to tackling either asylum seekers or immigration.

Errr, yes it is. The arrivals have gone up by 50%.

And I don’t understand people with a ‘let them all in’ mentality, who fail to use their critical thinking skills to see what will happen in the future as opposed to this moment.

Oh come on, being given white bread, although not nutritious as wholegrain is fine. Plenty of British families eat white bread because that's all they can afford.

Agreed. But I'm not going to pee my pants over asylum seekers cooking food themselves if they want variety in their diets. The whole debate is getting ridiculous. We're angry with other humans for cooking now? HOW VERY DARE THEY.

Are you really this stupid? Yes they pick up the free money of course, and they return a few weeks later! Fgs! How can people be this slow to understand even the bare basics of how this works..

And this is the concern. Whilst they have been drinking the far left cool aid, someone has to actually pay for all of this, not just now but for decades and decades - and to house millions of extra people. They can never ever explain how this will all paid for - it is infuriating.

I have dropped my friends that babble on that it’s everyone’s world etc etc - they can’t see the suffering and the poverty their mindset is inflicting on others less fortunate than themselves.

They’ve latched onto immigration as their issue and that’s it. All we need to do is send away all the foreigners and then every English man and woman will be living in a country mansion with a Ferrari and Lamborghini parked in the garage. All Praise Farage!

You don't need to crack any global gangs, just make it unprofitable to arrive illegally a la Trump, Japan, Poland and every other sane country in the world, including us in the past.
