I guess it proves they're incapable of rational thought and impervious to reason. I wonder, whilst congratulating themselves on their humanitarianism, how many of these people have done a single significant practical thing to assist the migrants they say they're so keen to help come here. I find it astonishing that people want to perpetuate and exacerbate the chaos which is unfolding in Europe because allowing more in will only cause more to follow. Fact!

The services in this country and its infrastructure are already at breaking point yet some people want to allow any number of immigrants to waltz in.  |
This is the equivalent of 'lefties' thinking people on the right hate the poor.
It might just be some of these people are conflicted about how best to deal with what is an increasingly becoming a crisis. They're not (necessarily) 'deluded' and are trying to think of a way to balance the concept of asylum and problems that can come with high levels of migration. Even some in UKIP, hardly a pro-immigration party, are suggesting increasing the numbers of
asylum seekers we accept.
You don't have to reduce those who think differently from you to nasty caricatures with malevolent or deluded motivations. Especially if you then complain if they then do the same by calling people who share your views as racist or heartless. It helps no one.
