It should not cost £11, 000 to remove these illegal immigrants - this figure sounds like something invented by the pro-immmigration liberal 'elite' in this country. Even if the figure of £11, 000 is correct, it would cost us all far more in the longer term if they stay here. These people like our NHS and public services and want to use them. They also want to have families here and would expect their offspring to use our public services too.

The time has come for this country to have proper border installations to keep out the unwanted and to massively increase coastal/port/border surveillance. I am talking about using the very latest technology which should make it almost impossible for illegal immigrants to get past.

We also need to end the 'system' where illegal immigrants who are not fleeing cruel regimes abroad (as many claim they are) can come here and claim asylum.

And let's not forget that illegal immigrants are committing a criminal offence by entering the UK illegally. And, for some of them, it won't have been the first criminal offence they have committed.

I totally agree with your posting! Although personally I don't blame them for coming here. Just imagine if you thought you could improve your whole life and that of your family beyond your dreams just by getting here, wouldn't you have a go? The fact remains we are an Island Country and the last thing we want is a load of free loaders arriving here!

Thank you for your agreement, Kernow.

I think that there are four or five countries in europe that illegal immigrants are heading to in large numbers - the UK obviously (if one counts us as being in europe), Germany, France and Holland (plus non-EU Switzerland). Those seem to be the places that have the biggest influx problem. Maybe I should include Italy, too.

But there are some EU nations who are taking next to no migrants. And there are other EU nations who appear to be more than pleased to let the illegal immigrants go 'forward' to Calais and Dover rather than send them back east and/or south-east to eastern europe, the Balkans or beyond from where many of these illegal immigrants first set off.

I don't think that countries such as Belgium, Italy, Spain and France are doing nearly enough to throw these illegal immigrants out of their own countries and send then back. They seem to believe that the best way to get them off their soil is to let them head for the UK.

In other words, part of the problem of this unwanted influx into the UK is the authorities of France, Spain, Italy and Belgium. Yet another problem for the UK to emerge from EU nations.
