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.

I'd rather they not be here and be in their home country.

But he drove public opinion

Because it’s such a tired cliche and I’m sick of hearing and reading about this supposed ‘privilege’. There’s no one more filled with angst than a rich white person. If it’s all so difficult to come to terms with then free yourself from the disgusting privilege and go elsewhere.

There is no legal requirement to claim asylum in the first safe country. That first line isn’t correct.

To be killed then lovely no empathy whatsoever.

I am probably too old to be sexually harassed in the way you are suggesting.

However my daughter is probably in the right age group. She comes home right by a hotel housing people who are here seeking a better life. I dont fear for her safety and nor does she.

What I worry about for her is the casual racism that seems to be acceptable nowadays.

We are white British, irish heritage by the way.

I thank my lucky stars everyday we live in London.

I am sure they want the same. Nobody is risking their life on a dangerous journey to safety for fun. Nobody becomes a refugee out of choice.

If we take the premise that men are a big scary risk ... Why import men from the third world?

Why do you want them all to be able to wander and associate freely even though we know that among their number are rapists murderers, terrorists and convicted criminals? What’s wrong with detaining unknown men who enter our country until we establish the fact that they are not very bad people who aim to kill us?

We seem to be going round in circles here. Do you want any other criminals to be able to wander around freely (for avoidance of doubt I’ll repeat Not All Asylum Seekers but some are convicted terrorists/rapists/murderers, we just don’t know which)? Are you one of these prison abolitionists? I can’t fathom your thinking. I can only assume it comes from a place of extreme privilege or naivety.

'Illegal' immigration is the key term here. Plenty will also be in favour of 'the rich' not 'illegally' opting out of paying their fair share of taxes.

Out of genuine interest, if you are white British, why does casual racism make you 'worried for your daughter'? Like how, in what way?

There is nothing ‘supposed’ about the privilege of being born in a Western democracy. As you’re the one throwing ‘supposed’ around, perhaps you’re the one who needs a taste of how women in Afghanistan, Sudan, etc live

Tens of thousands of voluntary returns by ‘asylum seekers’ for purposes of holiday, family weddings, business etc says otherwise.

Yes wouldn’t that be good for a change

Women can barely get here. The number will plummet given the new rules.

He was never a member of HM Government.

Of course people should pay their full share of taxes. How are these concepts related?

I genuinely hope you and your daughter are never disabused of your utter naivety.

I just had to scroll back to refind this comment that’s been allowed to stand. This is blatant ageism isn’t it? The elderly are to blame because they are hoarding all the housing’. The temerity to be living in the family home and be aging. Surely if we’re going after the elderly for hoarding housing we need to be going after those pesky single people too? If it’s one rule for one, it’s one rule for all. Anyone with spare rooms should be forced to leave their houses. Yes?

Where’s my yawn emoji 🥱

And when I mention my DS's friend's girlfriend and mother who have been harassed by these men.

Source, please

Lord only knows. Because no one can get around the juggernaut of the human rights industry in this country? There is a HUGE industry in stopping the government from being able to deport anyone. I’ll be amazed if Farage manages it.

We'd need to leave the echr and repeal the hra

I don’t want to bring my daughter up in a society that is xenophobic.

I want my daughter to experience different cultures, go travelling, have friends with different backgrounds.

My daughter might end up as a refugee herself one day. Who knows.

The values for my daughter are not to fear people who are different from her. To treat people with kindness. Do unto others etc.

People do bad things - regardless of nationality or immigration status. That includes indigenous white men.
