what are the government going to do about the immigration crisis in the uk

[c=003BB2][i]a few questions, will they stop the boats coming over the channel? or just allow them to keep coming?

what do they plan on doing with all the economic migrants housed on the barge and hotels around the country? will they be sent back home or allowed to stay?

our immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed and sorted out as of now...we can't accommodate all these people....immigration is ok as long as it is vetted and controlled...not this mass immigration.[/i][/c]

In 2022 1.2 million people immigrated to the UK, 660 thousand emigrated [1]. In the year ended June 2023 about 52 thousand irregular immigrants arrived, 85% percent of whom crossed the channel in small boats [2]

Why are you so concerned about the smallest fraction of immigrants and not the ten times bigger number who the government allows in without any complaint? I'll agree that the immigration system is broken but that is largely because the party in government refuses to devote the necessary resources to processing asylum applications in a timely fashion.

What are we going to do about your anti social and dangerous attitude towards people? Foreigner yourself - you're not human. I think we definitely need to turn around and face our problem- you.
