Why do the elites or globalists encourage the migrant wave? Because there's big money in it. Rupert Soames, CEO of Serco, is the brother of remainer Tory Nicholas Soames.

It would be nice if people didn't confuse immigration with illegal migrants.

Last year there were nearly 1,900 people illegally crossing the channel.

Most of whom, apparently, had 'strong claims' to asylum.

It is interesting that this is creating a 'national crisis'. In contrast there were 6,000 deaths last year as a result of accidents in the home (normally in the living room or lounge) - send them all out I say.

It appears it is not in the interests of current politicians to put this into perspective. Still, it gives the Navy something to do and keeps Priti from talking nonsense about stuff the grown ups are interested in.

For the avoidance of doubt, I don't want illegal immigration and would like it to stop but this issue and fishing rights seem to get a lot more attention than they deserve. Must be because we all want to be salty sea dogs.

What's the first rule of asylum?

You are confusing legal and illegal migration. 1,900 people are not of interest to corporates.

The companies that encourage migrants are the same lot who didn't want Brexit. It is all about cheap semi-skilled labour. If the migrants are turned around and the illegals prevented entry the profit margins for the big companies will plummet as they will then have to pay a fair wage to UK workers who have been undercut out of the market.

If we are going to have a build, build, build programme I am all for it, but only using UK workers and paying a fair wage. If restrictions on planning are going to be lifted then building land will become more plentiful and available at cheaper prices. The net result should be that profit will still be in it for the companies, but they just get way too greedy. There used to be an unwritten rule on daily rates in London (and a slightly lower figure out of London) for all the different trades but this went out the window with cheap labour from abroad. I'd like to get back to this system as it will also encourage kids to get into the trades.

Don"t expect a fair wage if Daemonic Robber is around, he wanted to get rid of the £7.50 minimum wage last year as he said we could get people to work cheaper, perhaps why so many are getting through to dover?
