Why the UK Can’t Stop Migrants

The English Channel is the busiest shipping lane in the world but is also one of the most dangerous migrant routes. In the past decade the UK has seen an influx of small boat arrivals on its shores and the British Government is now spending millions of pounds on inhumane policies to try and stop people from applying for asylum. But it won’t work and we’re going to tell you why.

It's legitimate to criticise the UK's priorities and budget here. But the European migration situation is unsustainable. Europe is surrounded by failed states and shouldn't become the "dumping ground". And honestly, the refugee situation is a very one-sided story. As a European you can't just migrate to Saudi-Arabia either if shit hits the fan here. Also, most "refugees" are de facto economic migrants. If you're fleeing for your life, you don't travel thousands of kilometers. As a German who accomodated 2 Million refugees in 2022 I can tell you one thing: The more you accomodate refugees, the more come.

[@SonsofThunder1234]

My thoughts exactly. I wonder if the British needed to flee their country, who would have us? We have too much of a bad reputation around the world. I don't think there is anywhere we could go.

Always find it funny that anti immigration arguments frequently contain 2 points - that England shouldn't be responsible for taking all the world's refugees, and that migrants shouldn't travel through multiple countries. Seems very much to imply that other countries should take the whole world's refugees, so why do they think the UK is a special case? Truth is the UK actually takes on far less than other countries.

France have clamped down on migrants working illegally in the black economy. They also do not house migrants in luxury hotels. The UK is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. Immigration has seen the UK population rise by over 10 million in the last few years. The majority of boat crossers destroy their documents. Not the actions of genuine asylum seekers. Parts of Europe have seeing their populations decrease. Portugal for example. Why would you bypass that country to cross the sea in a boat to the UK. Huge asylum approvals creates greater demand on housing. Houses solely for asylum immigrants are now being built by local authorities across the UK. Please think again!

He knows full well that if he used 2022 figures, he would be forced to admit that 40% come from just one country - Albania - and there ain't no war there.

Even a lower wage in a number of countries means wealth in others. For example, sudan had a small problem of single mothers: it came from imigrants of europe who had their paper in order and went vacay in sudan, than stayed long enough to marry a local and, than once was time to leave they would just divorce the teen, living her most times pregnant and destitute, they went back to their wives in europe. There are more cases of this kind of stuff: 1 law were refugee status meant not living the host country for 20 years and a lot of fake refugees might not apply. There is a refugee problem, there is a fake paper work problem, and there is a fake refugee problem, on top of that there is an unskilled economic migrant problem.

I’m not convinced and I know I’m not alone in this, that a large proportion of those entering on boats (who pays for those btw as they grow larger and more sophisticated) are absolutely not fleeing dangerous, war torn countries. The international laws for fleeing an unsafe country are that you head for the first safe country to claim asylum. As the vast majority of boat people are males between the age of seventeen and forty two we have to ask where are your family ? How could you leave them in the horrific circumstances you’ve described? Remember, mass migration has been a tool used throughout history (ancient and modern) to destabilise countries and this is clearly what is happening here and throughout Europe. Amongst other things, the sheer cost to the host countries becomes unsustainable and the collapse inevitable.

[@godehardbrysch7905]

No, according to the UN Human Rights Charter they can choose where they want to claim for asylum. This was also shown in the video. The Dublin agreement of the so called first safe country did not really work. The UK has left the EU thus the Dublin Agreement is not valid any more for the UK, at least the argument is nonsensical. "Brexit means Brexit". The opinions of the young men between the age of 17 and 40 are different. It is crucial to take wives and children with them, and children have died when crossing the Channel. So it's hard to decide, some are hoping the rest of the family can come later. Historically Europeans migrated as well: America and Australia (from a prison camp to a welfare state). Australia and New New Zealand officially asked the native populatior for forgiveness, this has honoured them.

In the first case no amount of talk will sway the tyrant to let people live their own lives, and in the second no nation is willing to talk honestly with tyrant with a pack of nuclear missiles at hand.

Because they are literally provided with better living conditions than a lot of middle class British people.

​@@azrafan2814 i always find you immigrants funny, you will play the biggest victims when you aren't given refuge while escaping your shit hole countries, only to completely disrespect the same people when they take you in with open arms. Just make sure to remember that when you get treated like the small hat, crooked nose people in Germany who tried the same that the British and French won't come to your rescue.

How many people are you going to promote selecting to the UK Ireland before you realise that we just can’t help the whole world and the other countries do you need to take some of the economic migrants as this is what’s 90% of the people crossing the channel Do a countries such as China, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK jointly can look after these people. Also other countries open coming in the Middle East such as Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia data. All safe countries that people can a must be migrated to not just the UK alone .

You known france is in the eu? They do not need to make the journey to our soft touch country! Question, when we are full to the brim will it stop?

It’s just sad that they don’t recognize the real problem is why applications take so long. Why throw billions at the problem to house and feed them and then more billions to try to throw them out when they could be self reliant.

[@williamthebonquerer9181]

That's only true for migrants who could qualify to emigrate ordinarily

[@KJ-js7pi]

This Tory government thinks allowing them to work legally while they wait for their asylum to be processed will be a 'pull factor' and cause even more people to come via small boats. Idiots.

[@goldfish2379]

Don't be ridiculous. There are no genuine refugees arrriving uninvited to the UK. They have crossed at least one sfe continent.

[@timhibbart5827]

Self reliant? That's hopeful at best.
