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.

a dedicated thread for (illegal) immigration would be so toxic you'd need to put disposable gloves on to pick up your phone

You'd also need to have a header in bold typeface explaining in simple terms the difference between Legal and Illegal Immigration. It's a differential that's frequently missed.

We used to send them straight back to France, but now we can't.

...so why can't we do the same now?

 

 

(suspect biggly that the ones moaning the most about immigrants are the ones who also supported this change in the first place)

I wasn't disputing Trump's failure on Ukraine or your other points, but you made it sound as if his success at stemming the flow at the southern border is insignificant compared to his failures. I don't think so. Now we have a water shortage in the UK and the small boat migrants aren't bringing their own water with them.

I thought that if you're in the EU there are quotas for how many asylum seekers have to be accomodated, I doubt with all those coming across the med from Africa to Italy Greece and Spain that the UK would have been allowed to simply 'send them back to France' even if we'd stayed in.

Remember there has been a huge surge in migrants into the EU (and some onward to UK) in recent years. If the vote back in 2016 had been remain the UK would not be returning all illegal immigrants straight back to France -surely that would not have happened (purely because of the EU quota system?)
