O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

[Med Pie]

According to the BBC 36,816 people arrived in Britain by small boats in 2024... out of 1.2 million total immigrants that's a drop in the bucket.

I'm sure there are other forms of illegal immigration (like flying over and overstaying a visa) but I feel rather strongly that illegal immigration is largely a smokescreen issue politicians throw up to hide the fact that they wholeheartedly support massive immigration. They do the same in the US and Australia.

I'm not saying illegal immigration is ok or that nothing should be done about it. I am saying, though, that the people convincing you that it's a big problem are lying, and using it to cover for the fact that their policy is to shovel a million people a year into the country.

It's the fact that there are few measures in place to de-incentivise the arrivals which angers people. Preferential treatment for healthcare etc as well as full board accommodation in which many of these men, refuse to even share a room and continually take the piss in regard to the treatment they think we owe them. They get language courses, smart phones and credit and a recent report states that they're now being given Xboxes!

The liberals will not allow them to be held in any kind of camp or controlled environment which exacerbates the issue as does the insistence on applying the misused, human rights laws which permit serious criminals to remain in the UK on ridiculous grounds. It's undeniable also that some lawyers are complicit, in helping illegals, make claims on ever ridiculous grounds.

Starmer continues to throw good money after bad, overseas, at the same time as stripping resources from local councils. Regardless of staffing issues in the various departments which the left continually blame, steps have to be taken to remove people pdq, Trump seems to be able to do it.

Is it any wonder that people are angry.
