There are clarion calls by some in America for people to leave the country, either temporarily or permanently. This is one (quite disturbing) example:

Hypothetically, would you accept an influx of people from the US?

yes gladly

In reality they'd go to Canada anyway.

What a load of cobblers.

I don't think we'll need to batten down the hatches any time soon.

I did say 'hypothetically'. 

Couldn't afford to feed them.

I don't see US citizens as able to claim to be seeking asylum. So they can apply in the usual manner and get permission if they are sufficient benefit/no risk. But I'm not personally putting them up.

Old-Geezer - I can't see anyone has used the words Asylum-Seekers. That certainly wasn't what I asked. 

Refugees, asylum seekers, same thing.

Question Author

I didn't use the word 'refugees' either. 

Question Author

Apologies, I did in my title didn't I. A poor and inflammatory choice of word.

To clarify then: these would be people just getting away from the new regime in the US but possibly bringing advantageous skill sets and possibly taking high level jobs which could benefit the UK on several fronts. But at the expense of Uk jobs. 

Well this is fun.

Question Author

I've studied the subject matter on this forum for some time and immigration seems to cause a lively debate whenever it is mentioned. 
I just thought that the article I linked to which shows there is a suggestion to leave the 'states' might create a different angle on the subject. 

we'd take the rich ones but they can come here anyway!

If they are like Pastafreak, then yes. 🙂

I don't see anything about people leaving, more like staying and fighting to preserve democracy.

I shouldn't think we'd see too big an influx here anyway.

It's difficult to know what is news and what isn't on this site.

Not news

As long as they assimilated and learned our language.
