Short of kicking everyone out you cant. Its the price we pay for open borders. So innocent until proven guilty is the closest you can get. But its not enough, and anyone with a modicum of sense can see that
We don’t have open borders but crack on.

I gave you a solution. You need to read better.
No you didn't. You said deport everyone who doesn't integrate then in the very next post admitted it was near impossible to show people who aren't integrating. So you can't deport anyone.

It's one of those generic terms that the likes of Farage like to use that can mean different things to different people. It's not a policy, it's a soundbite.

As for the thing about not knowing English after a set time, I've suggested that myself before. I think we should explore a legally binding contract migrants have to sign when coming in saying that they will respect other peoples values, faiths, beliefs, biological sex, gender, sexuality etc. and the penalty if they fail to do so is the risk of losing the right to stay here. I really think we need to change the terminology from 'rights' to 'rights and responsibilities'

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been diagnosed with anything personality wise? Your half trolling reminds me of someone....

What worries me is there is so much focus on asylum seekers arriving by boat or those awaiting processing who have been placed in hotels that we are taking our focus off by far the largest group of offenders.

I completely understand the idea of certain groups being over-represented in stats but you can't just ignore the overall figures if they don't fit your narrative.

We also need far better data. This has been raised in previous reviews but it was decided the priority was to spend years on another review rather than action things we already know are an issue.

Tbf the data is usually deliberately Hazy to allow scope for whatever the government want to do to deal with it. If it was clear and concise they would have to do what the data shows. If its open to interpretation then they can do what they like

Yeah the Casey report suggested that to be the case

"The council argued the government had agreed not to procure accommodation for asylum seekers in excess of a ratio of one asylum seeker per 200 residents, and it would not procure new accommodation while those figures were exceeded.

Mr Justice Eyre rejected this and said figures were planning tools and not limits."

3 guesses as to why theyve done this....


So if they do nothing…people complain. If they do something the right wants…people complain.

Fair has to be fair, what do the immigration obsessives actually want them to do?

Ridiculous isn't it. Was the same with the hotels. Months of 'why don't they use army barracks', now they're doing that its 'why are they using army barracks'.

Same with this, exactly what people have been asking for but because it's being done those same people now aren't happy with it.

‘They’re only doing it because loads of people are complaining about it’.

Would people rather they get ignored?

What the voters actually want is 0 illegal immigrants. You scoff at the Australian and Danish models of dealing with migration without really acknowledging there’s a problem at all. This is genuinely “crisis? What crisis?!” thinking.

In light of Mahmood’s plans to increase ILR to 10 years, the usual suspects are decrying it on the news round. What’s interesting is that the Migration Observatory estimates there’s between 622-820k non-EU holders of ILR and cross-referencing this with the DWP’s data, 211k were on Universal Credit (UC). Which poses the country with one of two uncomfortable prospects:
1) 27-37% of non-EU migrants are on UC. This is clearly untenable and is a damning failure. Or
2) the true scale ILR is not known and migration higher than what we currently think.

Take your pick, but the more evidence that’s in the public domain, the more it points to mass migration causing a lot of damage to the country.

What’s that got to do with anything? Under the Dublin agreement, we were net-receivers of illegal migrants. The small boats crisis began in 2018 before we’d even left and likewise, the EU has its own problems with illegal migration.

The Australian points style system introduced by Boris Johnson is still the basis of a controlled immigration system that voters fundamentally want.

Equally, the government needs to properly deter illegal migration, enforce visa conditions, clamp down on foreign-born individuals claiming UC. Welcome high-net worth, self-sufficient migrants, end low skill, low net-worth arrivals.

The sooner any government sorts out this toxic mess, the better. Shabana Mahmood was seriously impressive in the Commons earlier and hope she faces down critics in her own party to push through these reforms. It’s a step in the right direction.

Or the small boats traffikers saw that with us leaving the EU imminently there was soon likely to be no framework to send the people they were trafficking back. So Brexit actually emboldened the small boat traffikers, not deterred them,

You make this claim as if the UK is the only European country facing the issue of illegal migration. The UK was a net recipient of asylum seekers under Dublin Framework and as it happens, this framework has ensured that EU frontier countries (Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece) are incentivised to not process asylum seekers and allow them to wonder on to their destination of choice.

Frankly, the conversation around the ECHR is not limited to the UK. Meloni lead 8-9 signatories calling for this reform.

If they reform it, great. In the meantime, the UK should leave it imo. I cannot see how we can solve this crisis using the existing legal frameworks.
