FREEBIE BRITAIN
Britain’s soft immigration stance and smorgasbord of benefits will NEVER stop boats crossing channel, says Mercy Muroki.
BRITAIN’S Channel migration crisis is accelerating at a rate many would have laughed off as right-wing doom-mongering only a year ago.
Around 25,000 migrants have made the journey this year, dwarfing last year’s 8,500.
But while the numbers shift rapidly, the journey remains as perilous as ever.
Alongside dodging 600 daily vessels in the busiest shipping lane in the world, dinghy passengers who run into trouble face a very real fate of death by drowning or succumbing to hypothermia.
So why are so many continuing to risk their life travelling from a continent full of some of the safest, most democratic countries on Earth? Well, Britain is still the softest of soft touches on migration.
Get here and you are likely to be able to stay. As we heard last week, just FIVE people who crossed the Channel illegally so far this year were returned to the EU.
And once here, a smorgasbord of state-funded benefits opens up — housing, money, healthcare and so on.
But that is not the only reason why the UK has such appeal. In part, the EU’s own record on migrants is to blame. The Sun.
Blogger: do remember that not one of these classes as a refugee by UN protocols. ALL have crossed borders from the nearest safe country.
EVERY one is a criminal!
Those who once were refugees and break rules and laws to get to the UK have CEASED TO BE GENUINE REFUGEES!
