Why have you put speech marks around people? They're people.
The EU has absolutely no say or influence on us taking immigrants from non EU countries, certainly none that we can't veto. Maybe we should just get hard Brexit, so our country is so shit no immigrants will want to come anyway.
A few comments in reply to this.
There is nothing in international law to say an asylum seeker should take refuge in the first safe country they reach. If that was the case, then countries closer to their home would simply not cope. Turkey has several million Syrian refugees for example. In the case of genuine asylum seekers, I believe all civilised countries should do their bit to help the situation, including us. I'd prefer to have a bit of humanity, even if you don't. We take in fewer asylum seekers than most European countries as it is, around 4% of all of our immigrants are trying to claim asylum.
There are also no EU laws or regulations forcing any European country to accept asylum seekers, contrary to the view of quite a few people that I talk to. I appreciate that the EU has put pressure on countries to accept asylum seekers, it is even going through the ECJ to force 3 countries to accept more, but they haven't a leg to stand on and they'll lose the case. There's no chance whatsoever of any law being passed forcing EU member countries to accept quotas of asylum seekers as it would be vetoed. In a nutshell, if the UK doesn't want to accept asylum seekers, it doesn't have to, regardless of what the EU says. This is fact.
The UK alone decides how it deals with asylum seekers and illegal immigration (separating them as they are not one and the same). Illegal immigration will probably never be stamped down on as it provides dirt cheap labour for unscrupulous bosses, who earn massive profits as a result.
Any questions or issues with how Britain accepts asylum seekers or deals with non-EU immigrants should be directed to HM Government. They alone are the ones responsible.
Exactly, we actually have our own rules on which and how many non-EU migrants we allow into the country, the EU have no say on that. EU free movement is about the free movement of EU nationals - which, again, we actually have a say over, we can stop some EU nationals coming in to the country as well - just because we don't exercise these rights is not the fault of the EU. I wish people would stop blaming the EU for immigration issues, any issues are the fault of the UK government, not the EU. A lot of people voted for Brexit because of immigration, however I believe their issues with immigration are not because of EU nationals but because of non-EU nationals, well I'm sorry to say that with the outflux of EU nationals we're going to end up with an influx of non-EU nationals to replace them, the people who you didn't want here in the first place.
I think we're going to end up with a Brexit at any cost causing massive damage to the UK economy, and just to keep the vocal minority happy.
The Jungle is a handy buffer zone for us. Wonder if the French will keep helping us out this way after brexit?
Dublin Convention anyone?
This is the ultimate irony for me. I would say a significant percentage of those who want immigration lowered actually want less Muslims (in particular) coming into the country. By and large, Muslims would be coming in from non-EU countries. The power to stop Muslims coming into the UK then lies with our own government. Now, when we leave and are aiming to get trade deals with other countries, you can guarantee we'll be negotiating with countries in the middle east, where labour and products are cheap. They'll demand some form of freedom of movement, which out of desperation the UK will agree to. What will that mean? More Muslims!
No human being is horrible by nature. Their circumstances turn them to be less civil.
People bang on about groups like hezbollah being supported in the middle east. As if it is an indication of the scumbag nature of the people there. Wtf do you think people are going to do? Cheer for the opposition?.
If wales was a warzone and we had to live in their circumstances, our children would grow up to be far less civil than they are now. We would be bloody horrible.
But no we sit behind our computers judging these desperate people, while we decide what brand of sausages we're going have for breakfast tomorrow.
People have it in their heads we are some kind of higher beings looking down on vermin from ME/Asia. Not a chance
Lets have a, e.g gorilla war, in western europe and see how civil the common man and woman are.
Well, it doesn't. The UK Government already has complete control over it's borders. It doesn't need brexit to increase our powers.
What Brexit won't do is give the British ruling class a pair of balls - they're a lot more concerned with impressing other Countries with their 'fairness' and 'sticking to the rules'. To hell with their own folk.
Wouldn't give any of them my vote ...
