Personally I don't believe a word of what any politician says about migrants in general. Does anyone really believe that Europe couldn't close it's borders to migrants if it really wanted to ? To migrants, it'd be almost impossible, given the nature of tourism and transportation requirements, especially given that border towns often are dependent on cross border interaction. Its important to remember that some migration is necessary - you can't have an no migration situation. I'm not sure I can buy that. It all comes down to how many resources you want to throw at it and what infrastructure you have in place to apply them. If we were at war with with these countries I wonder how many would get in then ? If you put enough resource and infrastructure into place you could probably 'effectively' restrict migration to a halt. The irony of course is that doing so would likely increase illegal immigration. The problem with 'stopping smugglers' is that you only really know 'how they're doing it' when you catch a break. By the time you hit that kind of success rate where you'd get it down to a trickle, you'd have spent so much on staff and technology, that you'd need the immigrants to do the jobs you took the border staff from. Usually the incentive to succeed overcomes the willingness to resist. It's an interesting question.

I would hazard a guess based on the last 70 years of history. Somewhere the yanks supplied this organization. History tends to blame them People always seem to think the US armed the Taliban - They didn't, the Taliban didn't really exist during the Afghan Civil war. Simiarly, given that the US spent most of its time fighting against IS predecessor, Al-Qaeda in Iraq and its allies among the Sunni Insurgency, its quite unlikely they were arming them. Its a bit like claiming the British armed the IRA because the IRA raided UDR and Ulster Constabulary armories. They armed the afgan rebels that fought against the Russians. These rebels later went on to become the Taliban. They also armed the iraqis in their fight against Iran. They also armed the Argies in their fight against us. Based on the reason we went to war for the Malvinas was over mining rights to Antartica. It was split into 5 sectors and we had the sector wirh the only port. So everything came through the British sector. History tells us and will continue to tell us the Americans arm whom they like and it tends to back fire.

We should just continue our policy of Appeasement as invented by Chamberlain and his cabinet. It seems to be working well at present and is hardly costing anyone a penny.

I understand it's significance in terms of resources but I'm yet to be convinced that the Americans hampered our efforts during the conflict.

That vicar on Gogglebox basically summed it up. Applied to take refugees in while her husband was oblivious to her plans and unable to express his objection.
