Hellbent

There's a surge of illegal aliens coming to Britain caused by Brexit. (BBC News, 27 Nov.) That Britain leaving the European Union might result in an increase of immigration, instead of the decrease that was intended, was predicted at this blog on 10 June 2016. Illegal aliens who cross the English Channel are entitled to claim asylum in the UK. But since they could have, but didn't, claim asylum in France they are clearly not genuine refugees and their claims should be instantly rejected. They should be promptly deported, before they can establish relationships. That is what other countries (e.g., Japan) do. But instead Britain allows them several appeals. Once the last appeal fails they can then easily vanish into society, as described in "Welcome to the Asylum", published by Centre for Policy Studies way back in 2001. The person responsible for immigration since 2010 is now Prime Minister. (!) Mrs May could have and should have, but didn't, reform the system. (Reportedly, she reduced the number of appeals from 17 (!) to 4.) Mrs May is now hellbent on touring the country to encourage people to approve of her Brexit deal which even her own supporters don't like. Immigration caused this Brexit fiasco. Britain's Parliament is now sadly regarded as the "Madhouse by the Thames" - headline in a German newspaper - a singularly appropriate nomenclature for the domain of those running the asylum.
