"The issue is going to be addressed in an Immigration Bill, to be put before the HoC later this year. " Which I think is the best way to address the issue. Criticising the government now is, at best, a bit premature. Wait to see what is in the immigration bill first. | |||

"Child refugees are fine. As long as they don't have a beard and join adult dating sites after week in the country. As has happened. That really sums up the governments problem. It's all very well conjuring up images of little children looking like lost souls, but that isn't the reality. Grown men are posing as children, one famously was estimated to be in his 30's, and another turned the home of a an elderly couple that fostered him into a drug den. I'm pretty sure that the governments position on this (keeping it away from the withdrawal bill) is aimed at tackling the abuse of the system as it now stands. I trust Boris." This! Take all the liberal handwringing away and insert some provable facts and grown up's see instantly that the problem is multi faceted and needs dealing with accordingly. | |||

"We should have ZERO refugees arriving in this country. They should seek asylum in the first safe country they reach. There's no war in Turkey There's no war in Greece There's no war in Italy There's no war in France etc" Every single one of those crossing the channel in a boat or in a vehicle illegally is a criminal. Nothing more and nothing less. | |||

"We should have ZERO refugees arriving in this country.

The poorest children should be entitled to the same choice. And anyway, the uk isn't full, there's two spaces that just opened up. | |||

"We should have ZERO refugees arriving in this country. They should seek asylum in the first safe country they reach. There's no war in Turkey There's no war in Greece There's no war in Italy There's no war in France etc" All of those countries have taken more refugees than us. And contrary to popular belief there is no requirement to stop in the first safe country you arrive in. | |||

Should they make it to the UK, and then have their refugee status refused, then they can be returned to that country. | |||

"Over 80 years ago .Between 1938 and 1939 we took nearly 10,000 Jewish child refugees . I think there is no better measure of a society than how it treats child refugees. Can anyone think of a human quality that carries more weight than kindness? I can’t.. " Yes Bob, that is true. However those refugees came directly from Nazi Germany and they actually were children. Today is completely different. When a guy who was obviously in his 30's with more grey hair than me can pass as a 17 year old, then something is seriously wrong with the system Or more likely, the people who administer it. Surely the people who really do care about child refugees should fully support ending the abuse, rather than just turning a blind eye and shouting racist at anyone anyone who tries. | |||

" How many of those Jewish child refugees have formed grooming gangs, or carried out acts of terror against the men, women and children of this country? How many were from countries whose regimes threatened an undercover army will invate Britain's shores? How many set up industrial scale crash-for-cash scams that defraud our nation? How many have repeatedly bred with their first cousins, producing birth defects that cost the NHS millions every year? We are absolutely not all equal. Therefore our acceptance of different economic migrants should vary. | |||

Other than your own biases, of course." My bad - I was referring to my initial post in which I said we should open up training and job options to asylum seekers. And I stand by that. We need workers for a strong economy. We aren’t producing our own. We have to find them from somewhere or the economy will go from its current stagnation into reverse. Why have asylum seekers here and not allow them to contribute? | |||

I quoted you but I didn't mention a children either but then you quoted me back and added children being interviewed which started this debate about the merits of letting in child refugees because they might become whizz kids You're really having problems keeping up with what you're saying mate and check your own accuracy because it's seriously lacking | |||

" Erm, well, I think your taking one context of a word and trying to apply the same logic to another rather different context of the same word. While yes going back thousands of years we all are migrants from one place or another down through out history, the other context of migrant is the modern day migration, people wanting to come here as either migrants or asylum seekers and I'd hazard a guess saying send migrants back is possibly meaning asylum seekers. | |||

And now you are saying their allowances are bad and they are begging And who told refugees aren't allowed to work? They are allowed to. But most refugees are not skilled enough. This just goes back to my initial argument. People here pay taxes. They have the right to decide where it goes. If they don't want it to be used as allowances to refugees, they have the right to democratically vote against immigration. | |||

Broadly speaking Oppenheimer,s hypotheses are that most of the male population in western parts of the uk are derived from iberian and basque roots ) hence the dark haired welsh ) and that the male population of the east of england have more scandinavian and german roots. What he does not at any point say is that immigration has not had an influence on the population of the uk. You seem to be saying that we are all derived from some pure celtic aryan predecessors whereas I think the truth is that our gene pool is much more varied and infinitely better as a result of the mixing of genetic groups. | |||

"The government have voted down an amendment proposed by the Lords on the EU withdrawal bill that would allow unaccompanied child refugees to join relatives in the UK. How inhumane are this government? " The government "argument" is that we shouldn't worry because they will incorporate it at some unspecified later date. This of course begs the question, why not legislate for it now? This might be trying to "send a message" that even if you legitimately flee violence or repression to the UK you will not be able to bring your family. It may be that they can delay spending some money on these children as they grow up in the UK. They may be sending an anti-immigrant message to a part of their voter base. They may be indicating to the Lord's that however pertinent your points are we just don't care because of our majority in the Commons. It could be any combination of these things. It does, however, demonstrate a lack of empathy and an absence of kindness in modern politics. | |||

Maybe then they would realize the offers given to them by surrounding countries are fair, and to stop flooding into the EU for a free ride, or to thug our heart strings to get a European passport, not just for them, but for all their descendants to come, why? cause they paid for a criminal to smuggle them in. | |||

This is the UKs post Brexit immigration policy in total. Only highly skilled immigrants. Preferably with money. Nobody else. If we funded the countries closer to conflict zones better to accommodate millions of refugees then perhaps they wouldn't feel the need to come here? If we didn't destabilise countries for our economic and geopolitical ends perhaps there would be fewer conflicts? If we didn't sell them the weapons to kill each other so efficiently perhaps their would be fewer refugees. Must be someone else's fault and the people most to blame are the victims | |||

Can you show me evidence of how much money UK makes by selling weapons and how much narcotics we buy from them? There are enough stats about grooming gangs.

And people who vote against refugees are workers who don't have to see internet statistics like you to see ground reality. They face these problems in real life. Unlike you, they know the truth.

Anything over that, you are starting to sacrifice your own happiness. You know you can always let many homeless people into your house to sleep safely at night. They just need space big enough to keep their sleeping bags. You could maybe let 5-10 people sleep in your living room. But do you do that? Why not? You people keep complaining about NHS not being efficient enough. And you also want to take in more unskilled people? How do you think the country can handle that? Second factor, if I see a sincere person who is determined to do good in life, I will do my best to help that person get back on feet. If all that person does is to drink and take drugs, I will ask him to fuck off. Unfortunately, you cannot do that level of filtering on refugees, can you? There are plenty of people determined to work hard. There are also plenty of people whose mind is set on getting here, form gangs and have fun as the punishment is not severe even if you get caught.

" Inhuman and racist it may be but there are good reasons to support social change, justice and financial equality whatever ones political persuasion might be (I'm not left wing btw). I've yet to see a society based on far right principles (or far left for that matter) that has created, resilient, sustainable communities. Invariably they promote selfish, inward looking perspectives where those who 'have' want more and will manipulate the system to achieve it, whilst the disenfranchised will resort to other means. Not so long ago the working man and woman didn't have the vote, children worked in mines and were shoved up chimneys-sounds ridiculous now but it was social reformers (frequently denounced as 'do-gooders) who instigated the change. | |||

" All migrants should be sent back, or when they arrive they should be given nothing. No social welfare, no free health care, nothing. As if they have arrived in USA 100 years ago." Interesting analogy since the original European settlers in the US were effectively economic migrants who pillaged and subjugated the indigenous population. | |||
