To say that most people in the UK want illegal immigration to stop

[Sleepysleepycoffeecoffee]

I recently commented on a Facebook post to say the majority of British people are against illegal immigration. I was asked by several other users what survey I based that opinion on. I responded with the question ‘do you think most people want illegal immigration to continue then? Because if not, then surely they want it to stop?’ I didn’t receive any responses to that.
Without getting into any political arguments or name calling and giving no ifs, buts or reasons for your view, please vote as follows.

YABU - I want illegal immigration to continue.
YANBU - I don’t want illegal immigration to continue.

Out of interest how has that impacted the country? I assume most of them came during Angela Markel’s time at the healm. Have they assimilated well? Any problems?

Local resistance groups? My mind drew to the partisans on the eastern front in ww2.

She is pointing out that there is another way to run universities.
They can be funded properly to be centres of academic excellence, and to do ground breaking research that benefits us all.
They don't have to be run as businesses, selling useless degrees to people lacking in intellectual ability, subsidised by international students, and overpaying a few at the top of the management pile while most academics struggle with job insecurity and poor pay.

I remember some of the Nordic countries actually published data after. And lo and behold after you adjust for per-capita those who were foreign born committed more crimes.

I heard it wasn’t going well at all but I might be wrong.

After escaping many adult Jewish males did go and enlist in the armed forces of the country that gave them refuge.

This.

I agree with all of this!

So the 'legal asylum seekers' are in fact illegal immigrants who have been caught.

I do enjoy all this nonsense about 'skills'. We need people with skills, illegal migrants might have 'in demand skills', British people aren't 'trained' like all these high value migrants. What on earth do people mean by this? Broken English, no qualifications, absolutely penniless? Do they have good admin skills, IT skills, managerial, technical? That they've obviously learned in Somalia or Afghanistan or rural Pakistan? With their second to none education systems? What a strange and silly dreamworld some women live in.

What are you talking about. Asylum seeking and skills based immigration are completely different pathways

I actually have a solution!

All the people who support immigration can give up their British citizenship and instead hand it to someone who currently wants it, but doesn’t have it. Then those people can go and live in the immigrant’s country of origin, so a one in, one out policy if you will.

That would need an outside country providing them with weapons and training, ..... in WW2 plenty of men had fought in WW1.

No one is suggesting arming resistance groups in Afghanistan or Sudan.... not that any exist, they are destroyed the moment they even begin to arise, interception of comms is way better than in 1943.

No..... the only option is for the strongest to leave ( a very small % do) and hopefully be able to then get their families out too.

I'm drawing the distinction between this scenario and economic migrants from Albania etc.

I'd ask MN to delete your post, it makes you look rather stupid.

She’s female and disposable. Collateral damage.

Well of course it does. We can’t all be as smart as you are.

So true.

So you want to stop others migrating to Britain but you would like to migrate to France? Wow.

As stated by others, coming here to claim asylum is not illegal (yes even if you come in a small boat, and even if you go through other safe countries on the way).

If the UK implemented ways to apply for asylum from outside the UK, or allowed safe legal passage to those claiming asylum, the small boats (and their connected traguc deaths) would stop. It is totally possible because they did it for Ukrainian refugees. But of course, they tended to be white so the racists don't mind them claiming asylum here.

You mention Afghanistan. Why is it then that many go back on holiday? I had an Afghani Uber driver a few months back. He went back to there on holiday, said how nice it was and "don't believe everything they say on the news".

What are YOU talking about? I wasn't talking about points-based immigration, I was talking about illegal migrants and comments upthread! I know they are two different things, thanks.

No to illegal immigration
yes to legal immigration
yes to refugees

Er Sweden is exactly what we don’t want. It’s crazy to look at the culture clash. They are so advanced by western standards ie. Decriminalising, open prisons and rehabilitating criminals that this has been completely abused by newer arrivals. They recruit under 18s to throw bombs into random cafes and hairdressers. The police have a bomb squad and it’s now a regular occurrence. Doubling year on year the past couple of years!

If we want to keep our western ideals and values we can’t import this insanity.

She’s really not. That poster didn’t know
anything about universities 😂

but yes of course they can be run to a different model- going back 20 years and changing that doesn’t really add to the illegal immigration argument though does it?

Illegal immigration is when those who have an application to remain rejected but don’t leave. They are not illegal immigrants when they arrive in the country.

Why are they throwing bombs into shops? Never heard that before. One of the stories I was thinking of was the school girl that was raped and murdered on her way home. I think that was a Scandinavian country.
