Currently there are illegal migrants housed all over the UK, in hotels, country manors and even university student accommodation. This is an enormous taxpayer expense when you also consider the food and security service allowances associated with each location. Lydd Military Training Camp is situated on the South East Coast. It would serve as the perfect location for temporary shelter for illegal migrants. We should build a ‘Camp Bastion’ style camp, with accommodation blocks including a family quarters, washing facilities, a galley, and facilities to exercise. Until new arrivals are properly vetted they should not be on UK streets. This type of facility housed British troops in Afghanistan for almost a decade, there should be no complaints. All this would cost a fraction of what the taxpayer currently pays.
Royal Marines should be tasked with patrolling our own waters to prevent illegal dinghy crossings. They are frequently tasked with anti-piracy operations abroad however we have issues closer to home.
The goal shouldn’t be moving the invaders around before they inevitably disperse into the streets. The goal is mass deportations. Anything other than mass deportations is simply putting up a welcome sign.
I believe that if there was no incentive then less people would make the journey in the first place .
If they were placed in camps and processed then it would not be so attractive a prospect .
Real refugees fleeing war would have much more women and children and not just fighting age men .
I know I would sign up to assist with the deportations. Quit whatever my job is at the time, sign myself up to whatever force it will be, and have the efficiency that El Salvador did with becoming the safest place in the world after being the most murderous.
