Potus ???

I know that I can get confused easily but DJT said he would end the war in Ukraine in his first 24hrs in office, but it hasn't happened, why?

He recently said Putin was a kind person, now he's saying he trusts "almost no one" when talking about Putin, what???

Recently he praised the Liberian president's English, how dumb do you have to be to support this muppet?

dumb enough to not want your country swamped by the world's poor

swamped?

2.4 million approx under Trump 1.0

~10 million under Biden - maybe swamped is the wrong word?

and we are seeing similar patterns in the UK - small boat crossings have increased markedly under Labour - the Rwanda deterrent was starting to work even before they could deport anyone

Illegal immigrants on both sides of the pond put a huge strain on public services

Really? Zero small boat crossings when Tories took power of course. A proper thriving industry created by their policies.

The Tories struggled to get tough laws through because Labour were always voting against Rwanda and other measures - the graph shows a jump after Covid, but it came down as migrants saw the Conservatives were serious about Rwanda. Now it's up under Labour - if you search it the estimates are between 25 and 40% up in Labour's first year. I'd like to see the graph under Reform. If you were lucky enough to own a nice detached house with say a 2 acre garden you wouldn't want all the travellers coming on your garden and setting up home - small boats migrants are in the garden

I don't understand this bit - how did Tory policy account for all the Iranians coming over illegally and claiming asylum? Or Albanians? I know you can talk about the wars in Afghanistan and Syria, but how did Tory policy make all the Iranians and Albanians want to come to UK?

It's the Tory brexit deal that has caused this problem

Talking of getting swamped.

 

I'm amazed that we don't yet have a dedicated thread for immigration. It'd be well worth it I think; theres a few other general threads on here that are swamped by the volume of posts decrying immigration.
