ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Over the weekend, no less than 52 illegal immigrants were found in four dinghies crossing the English Channel to get into the UK. They were all brought into Britain by the Border Force. All of the illegal immigrants were from Iraq and Iran.

In the last year, 739 (excluding the latest 52) illegal immigrants had crossed the English Channel. The numbers are expected to increase as summer approaches.

The people smugglers organizing this trade have now perfected a new business model with the cooperation of the British authorities, who continue to allow the illegal immigrants to stay, and are even helping them cross the channel when they are ‘rescued’.

Both al-Qaeda and ISIS have made hundreds of millions of pounds from people smuggling (see The Ponzi Class, page 3). These profits will be invested in improving the people smuggling routes and increasing the number smuggled – and also used to buy bombs, guns, weapons, ammunition, and to generally fund their terrorist activities.

That the British Government is facilitating this terrorism is shameful.

The more they let in, the more will come. The government should take those measures necessary to destroy the business model, and those measures must include a refusal to accept any more illegal immigrants.
