One of many things you don't get, whoever you are.
How many illegal immignartts have you offered to put up in your home?
And explain to me how you square the circle of being an apologist for illegal immigration with the cost it imposes - strain on the NHS, housing, environmental destruction to build houses, the widespread angst it causes, the extra pollution and crowding these people will cause, the strain on the Lifeboat Service, the fact that they are all coming for a safe country and the fact that England is already one of the most densely populated countries in the world.
I am genuinely curious because I have tried and I cannot reach that level of doublethink.
And that is if you are capable of engaging directly with points rather than resorting to dismissive sweeping generalisations and copying and pasting (lies, damned lies and) statistics that are not necessarily accurate.
As an aside, I would like to point out that you have the far easier job in this debate as you get to occupy the moral high ground while the vast majority of people such as myself taking the perfectly reasonable view that we cannot be a life raft for the world are cast as "nasty, mean, racist" etc which we are not. Maybe we are rfghtly just concerned about the matters I mention above? Think and write badly of me if you like but it takes more gits to argue this POV than it does your virtue signalling, guilt-tripping angle.
