I've said it before - I do agree with Trump about illegal aliens. I do believe that those who managed to enter the USA illegally have no right to be there and should be deported, just like any other country, including Thailand, does when people in the country illegally are caught.
I wish that were true.
In particular, I wish the UK would deport every single one of the middle easterners who arrive here illegally. Preferably give them a very uncomfortable time in the process too, so there is a suitable deterrent.
However, what you have is the open borders of the EU. All the countries in southern Europe don't need to bother too much policing the borders, as the illegal immigrants move on to richer countries.
Then, despite already being in wealthy countries, some of them are prepared to risk their lives crossing the channel from the EU to the UK.
Then the EU countries don't agree to accept these people back from the UK. So deportation is not easy.
We are clearly
far too nice if they are prepared to risk their lives crossing from France to the UK on boats.
Our previous government had the enlightened idea to ship all the refugees off to Rwanda whilst their applications are being processed. However, that never got past all the legal challenges.
Incidentally, this is one reason why the AFD have gained popularity in parts of Germany.
If we had a PR electoral system in the UK, I'm fairly sure such parties would make strong gains here too. Including amongst educated people who have had enough of rampant illegal immigration.
I think the US is relatively fortunate, in having a problem with Latin American migrants, rather than the type Europe has.
