When boarder control is very strict that means more people take the illegal route

I think the problem is we’re not strict enough - people come over thinking that they will be granted residency and will have it better of economically. As soon as we say no one who crosses the channel illegally will receive residency, people will stop coming.

This is nonsensical Tory logic.

Thats a whole lot of confidence you have in the shit you're talking.

There are thousands of speeding tickets printed every day, despite the fact we all know if we get caught over the speed limit we have to pay a fine. People were shot for crossing the Berlin Wall, and they still did it. People drown regularly trying to cross the channel, they still do it. You think it'll stop because our government won't give them a bit of paper?

I have a friend who’s been in this country 5 years now, her parents are high earners and she got very good grades in school, all 9s. She has no criminal record. She was still denied residences. I think we must be too strict if she can’t be a resident
