When will migrant crisis be sorted?

-

I WONDER when the Government are really going to sort out this migrant crisis properly? They keep making murmurs, but what has really been done?

They keep filling up more and more hotels around the country, the latest one around here in Exeter. A third is proposed in Torquay.

These people really shouldn’t be allowed to stay if they have come over illegally. Not to mention that they are losing hotel staff their jobs in the middle of a recession when times are hard enough and also costing the taxpayers money for them to stay there.

The other day I was travelling on the train to London from Exeter and halfway along some illegals boarded the train thrusting small packets of tissues at everybody with a note saying please help by giving money.

They then came back along the carriages, quite aggressive­ly demanding money. I didn’t want the tissues and felt very relieved that there was a man opposite who didn’t want his either, and spoke up for both of us. I would not have liked to be a woman there on my own.

These people have no respect for women at all. Thankfully they got off the train at the next station, but the point is that these immigrants are allowed to go around intimidati­ng people and it is simply not acceptable.

Another fact is this – are people aware about the Marrakech pact? The Government has signed this without having any public consultati­on at all. This states that 25 million UN migrants will be allowed into Europe by 2085 and these migrants can choose which subscribin­g country they wish to live in. Which basically means that, having once arrived on our shores, the Government are only allowed to manage them. Now it appears that they wish to spread them around into rural areas too. I do not see how this will improve our country in any way at all.

The question is, if they have signed this pact, which has incidental­ly just been updated, will the Government really do anything to stop what can only be named as an invasion of people who quite frankly are of no benefit to our country? Indeed, some are even rapists and criminals. They are not actually even refugees.
