. If they could survive a sea journey from Indo to NZ in a 30ft boat with 50 people aboard we'd give them a medal! :-)

Well in the uk we don't have boat people as such, but hundreds of thousands are camping in France waiting for a chance to illegaly enter the UK, our main problem is the lax control of immigrants entering riding on the system, if they make it to the Uk they know they are in for an easy street of benefits and welfare.

I would like to see them piled onto Jersey and Gibraltar or into Monaco and Luxembourg. There's a justice in turning the tax havens of the global super-rich into refugee camps for the world's desperate and poor.

From what I understand, they are arrested and put into prison before starting a screening process to determine who can claim refugee status in Canada.

My opinion? I don't really have one.

Here in England we welcome them with open arms, in fact , we've even built the channel tunnel so their arrival will be more comfortable and less dangerous !

Doesn't matter. The exodus is as much fueled by desertification as by anything else. Give it enough time and they will outnumber the prior residents and pass their own laws. Then the question will be what shall we do with those old Europeans?

One of the main sights in Monaco is the royal yacht moored in the middle of the harbour, owned by a Saudi Prince. It costs him one hundred thousand dollars a day a to keep it there; it has been there for 20 some years. Do the math…and that isn’t counting the costs of maintaining a full crew and fuel to run the engines all day. It is estimated that this Prince has used it about 5 times in 20 years. Just think of what else he could be spending that money on; hell, he could easily finance a private army to invade all of North Africa, destroy the terror groups, start building new apartment building and business enterprises for those waiting to being smuggled into a rapidly declining Europe…sacrificing everything to set up lifestyles that are easy to get used to by impoverished and illegal immigrant manure that can’t find work in Africa. The Saudi Prince could also give them full employment with benefits if the decline of Europe was not the real end game…makes one wonder...

Possibly not, depending on when and which people.
