Observations

Facts, not prejudice

Any report on illegal immigration is fraught with danger. A simple analysis of the facts, such as Facts4EU.Org’s report above, instantly attracts accusations of racism and xenophobia.

Those who support the idea of open borders, as the UN’s International Organisation for Migration does, view any attempt to present facts to the populations of countries affected as being likely to provoke a backlash. We believe that the suppression of facts, and the blind adherence to the principle of free movement of all people, everywhere, is far more likely to cause a backlash than is a calm examination of the facts.

Facts4EU.Org will continue to research and publish facts. We suggest to the very well-funded open borders lobby that they are completely out of touch with the majority opinion. This highly vocal yet very small minority will not silence us.

The British have a reputation for tolerance and compassion. We don’t know anyone who would turn away a genuine refugee in fear of his or her life. There is, however, a difference between true sanctuary for refugees and the indiscriminate opening of our borders to all and sundry – some of whom quite clearly wish us ill. The case of the Liverpool bomber two weeks ago – a migrant denied asylum seven years previously and appealing countless times – shows this.

“The times they are a’ changing”

Readers will remember how, in 2015/2016 and in subsequent years, Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban was pilloried for trying to protect Hungary’s borders with fencing. US President Donald Trump suffered the same criticism for his plans to build a wall on the border with Mexico. The EU did not hold back with its criticism in each case.

How times change. Now, borders are being erected in the EU from Lithuania in the north to Greece in the south. The EU is even being asked to pay for these. And in the USA President Biden is facing a tripling of the numbers of illegal migrants coming from the southern border of his country.
