Therefore unless they arive in the UK on a boat from outside the european union or on a plane they should not be here.

It isn't a question of human rights it is a question of what is right and while i would happily agree to the UK contributing to a fund to help those fleeing violence\persecution and maybe even taking a quota of such people we should not be the final destination for the majority nor should we ever be the biggest contributor to any such fund.

End of the day hammering some poor sod that got out of whereever when he\she come's to the UK is petty and pointless because he\she is only doing what any of us would do if we found ourselves in some of the situations many of these people are in. We can be humane and compassinate without being mugs and that is the balance that any future government must get right, because we are only an island with limited space\resources and simply cannot continue as we are.

Asylum seekers no.... unless they fail in their applications, or until they decide to claim asylum after working in the UK drugs, prostitution, gang, restaurant, corner shop, counterfeit trades, right up to the moment they get caught here illegally....

The thread was started about ILLEGAL immigrants.

yes we know this i have already said the system has been abused for years ,thats not the point of the thread the point is, why do some people feel that locking up illegals and feeding them bread and water ,denying them basic human rights is a solution ?

If we entered lets say Pakistan illegally without a passport or papers we'd be locked in a cell with 20 other Pakistani men with no toilet and running water, fed rice and stale water for at least a year until it was sorted out, why should we treat them any other way?? If we treat them hard they might not be in a rush to come back once released.

I've been branded a NAZI in another forum to dare to suggest that illegal immigrants should have no "rights" and thus should not be rounded up and protected, but rounded up, detained on a bread and water diet, then a swift expulsion from the country... along with any lawyers that get in the way.

Your thoughts?
