Illegal Immigration Gravy Train (with Help from the French and UK Border Force)

Lots of evidence now that the boats crossing the channel containing migrants are part of an organised trafficking setup. Some of the immigrants that arrive here upon asking have said that the going rate is still around £5000 per person.

For that they get given the boat, a life jacket, instructions and are driven to the beach whereupon the immigrant will be united with his boat and his fellow seafarers.

They used to do it at night and arrived on the beaches of the South Coast under darkness, running up the beach and into the waiting vans. Eventually to join the black market working in sweatshops under what can be precarious working and living conditions, just short of modern slavery.

But those people are part of a social network that allows illegal immigrants to enter the country and then live, sleep, shop and work in the UK, all off the books.

Those without the social network, take the safer route of daytime passage. The small dinghies that leave teh French coast are "shadowed" by French cutters until they reach UK waters, whereby the immigrants in the dinghies will be picked up and taken to UK ports and processed.

Upon arrival they are processed and taken to a hostel. Probably the first nights sleep in a real bed inside a real building any of them have had for months. They are left under their own recognisance to stay at the hostel while they are being processed (paid for by the taxpayer).

If they fail to gain asylum on the first try, then the first option is to appeal (tying up even more taxpayers money) and whilst on appeal they get to stay in the facilities provided at taxpayer expense whilst the lawyers on both sides of the appeal get paid out of the taxpayer purse.

If eventually it's determined they haven't been successful in their appeal and if during the appeal they haven't taken themselves a gullible British bride and had a kid or two (which guarantees them leave to stay under EHCR rulings) then they have the option of going back home where the weather is better, or skipping dodge and disappearing into the illegal labour market.

Very, very few of the illegal immigrants that arrive in the UK actually get sent back. Their network is savvy enough to try and tick all the boxes to get leave to stay under refugee status, or failing that they have time to get themselves a British bride and family, or the final option is to just bugger off into the grey yonder and join the thousands of Muslims and Eastern Europeans that will flout UK law and support illegal immigrant workers.

So far there are about 500 boats stacked up in storage close to Dover. 500 boats with an average of (say) 10 immigrants aboard. 5000 immigrants immigrants so far this season.

5000 extra people that you and I have to feed, house and clothe. 5000 people that should have registered their status in the country they entered into the EU. 5000 people that are here to stay.

5000 people at risk of exploitation in the illegal labour market when they fail to gain asylum.

5000 people that crossed the channel and were picked up by border force. How many more made the crossing undetected? How many of these people have bad intentions towards the UK? How can we tell if we do not stop them at the border and record them?

In the interests of National Security, the influx of illegal immigration has to be stopped. The security of those people already here must surely outweigh the rights of those people that may have ill intent towards our citizens?
