Should These Illegal Migrants Who Are Crossing The Channel To Come To This Country So As To Claim Asylum, Now Be Forced To Claim Asylum While Still In France?

//hostility is threats of violence, verbal and physical abuse, accusations of extremism without proof//

Where is any of that happening to these people?

Subtract the physical aspect and it's here on AB.

All you need to do is read any thread on the subject of immigration, legal or not, religion, news, current affairs, etc etc.

Iozzy, I’ve seen no threats of violence or physical abuse here. The rest is a matter of perception – yours.

//Where is any of that happening to these people?//

All over. Just read some of the anti immigrant posts in this site! The likes of Katie Hopkins advocating that boats full of migrants be machine gunned in cold blood in a national newspaper. The likes of Tommy Robinson hiding behind a Union Flag while spewing his vile, xenophobic claptrap at his Neanderthal hordes. There are plenty of examples.

Mozz, //Katie Hopkins advocating that boats full of migrants be machine gunned in cold blood in a national newspaper.//

She didn’t say that. She said // 'I would use gunships against migrants' boats'….I would tow them back to where they came from and I would make a huge bonfire of all the boats they have….. This has got to stop, we need to take a hard line, Australian approach to this"// (1ozzy might take note).

And heaven forbid that someone like Tommy Robinson should condemn Muslim grooming gangs and tell it like it is. *** the victims, eh?

But don’t let the truth get in the way of your out-pouring of emotion.

My perception Naomi?

For starters I said subtract the physical.
You are free to perceive what you wish to.

Someone speaking out against Muslim grooming gangs is a xenophobe? Really?

Those 'stars' give the impression that the word I used was rather ruder than it was. Three letters - first an 's' - last a 'd'. No prizes for guessing the right answer. ;o)

[naomi24]

What are you talking about then, 1ozzy?

[1ozzy]

The number of posts I've read on this site in regards to how immigrants should be treated beggars belief.

I only hope the comments on AB represents a very small number of inhabitants.

//The number of posts I've read on this site in regards to how immigrants should be treated beggars belief. //

What have you read that has shocked you so much, 1ozzy? 'Don't let them in'? 'Send them back'?

[cassa333]

Yes

Well that was easy. Do the questions get harder lol

[1ozzy]

// 'Don't let them in'? 'Send them back'?//

If only ;-)

SAD?

Do I get no prize?

[naomi24]

1ozzy, if you want the reader to know what you're talking about you'll need to expand on 'if only'. As far as I'm aware there are no mind-readers around here.

Sad will do for you. Well done! Still no prize though.

Rescue by the french and taken back, if only they did this more often or stopped them in the first place it may save some lives.
