Migrants crossing from Europe (42 Viewers)

Why aren't anti-immigration Brexiteers up in arms with the government about this? Seems ridiculous to not have anything in place to replace it, unless I'm missing something.

Brexit: the end of the Dublin III Regulation in the UK - House of Commons Library

The Dublin III Regulation enabled the UK to return some asylum seekers to EU Member States without considering their asylum claims. It also provided a legal route for reuniting separated asylum-seeking family members in the UK. The Regulation will no longer apply in the UK from the end of this year.

I’d imagine this is why since Britain left the EU properly the number has increased.

How do you know they're not.

Haven't seen it mentioned in the thread.

Indeed. I only learned about this today tbh, I thought some people i.e. that anti immigrant frothers might have brought it up already.

You can’t write a three word slogan around it and it requires the ability to understand data at a basic level. It’s above frothers pay grade to do that.

They don't do details or the facts behind these things, they obsess over counting dinghies

The LSE top end estimates 900,000 illegals so it’s literally a drop in the ocean

The vast majority of who are visa overstay and travelled here directly avoiding the EU altogether. It’s almost as if dingies and EU membership were never really the primary issue on this subject.

www.theguardian.com

"Priti Patel states that 100% of 5 immigrants have been returned to Europe since Brexit kicked in properly"

"That compares with 289 last year" She crowed

"If you add 2+8+9 you get 19" she explained.

"Add 1+9, you get 10. Add 1+0 you get 1"

"This proves that Brexit is 500% more effective at controlling immigration"

Asked for comment, the Prime Minister Alexander Johnson said "Priti is not a bully and I consider the matter closed"

And only 8500 arrived by boat last year. You’d have to think that our obvious inability to send them back having left the eu is a driver in the motivation to come here in the first place.

Absolutely spot on.

It’s no wonder they come over as illegals. They can hang around for years with no legal status turn to Christianity then become a suicide bomber

They don’t come over as illegals, they come over as asylum seekers. If they fail to claim asylum then they become illegal.

Thing is I don’t believe that you’re stupid enough to not understand this. You just assume that your audience is stupid enough to buy it. And to be fair they probably are.

I like your logic. No Christianity, no suicide bombers.

How can we make this happen?

Very true actually- nothing illegal about seeking asylum. They don’t come over as illegals.

Calling them 'illegals'. Classic right wing idiocy.

He'll be calling for the navy to sink them next.

Not sure it's legal for people to enter in the back of a lorry or a dhingy is it?

Decathlon have withdrawn sales of canoes in northern France in order to try and stop crossings.
What a bunch of low life scum they are.

They are asylum seekers.

They are not 'illegals'.

Bit like using the phrase ‘ex-pats’ when in fact they are just immigrants.
