Child refugees

By *Vine OP Man over a year ago

The right place

The government have voted down an amendment proposed by the Lords on the EU withdrawal bill that would allow unaccompanied child refugees to join relatives in the UK.

How inhumane are this government?

Child refugees are fine. As long as they don't have a beard and join adult dating sites after week in the country. As has happened.

That really sums up the governments problem.

It's all very well conjuring up images of little children looking like lost souls, but that isn't the reality.

Grown men are posing as children, one famously was estimated to be in his 30's, and another turned the home of a an elderly couple that fostered him into a drug den.

I'm pretty sure that the governments position on this (keeping it away from the withdrawal bill) is aimed at tackling the abuse of the system as it now stands.

I trust Boris.

The issue is going to be addressed in an Immigration Bill, to be put before the HoC later this year.

"The issue is going to be addressed in an Immigration Bill, to be put before the HoC later this year. "

Which I think is the best way to address the issue.

Criticising the government now is, at best, a bit premature.

Wait to see what is in the immigration bill first.

This! Take all the liberal handwringing away and insert some provable facts and grown up's see instantly that the problem is multi faceted and needs dealing with accordingly.

Sen allowed this, in fact they allowed all children.

Guess what happened, everyone who could pass for a child headed for them and its a huge massive problem for them.

Giving any group a free pass should be avoided.

A country could only take the number of people it can handle. People complain about NHS being under staffed while also asking to take more refugees under humanitarian concerns. Combine that with the way some people are trying to misuse the law. There are numerous problems with it and they can't just pass a law like that without planning properly.

Harry and Meghan weren't forced to seek asylum in the country next door, they picked somewhere THEY felt safe. The poorest children should be entitled to the same choice. And anyway, the uk isn't full, there's two spaces that just opened up.

All of those countries have taken more refugees than us. And contrary to popular belief there is no requirement to stop in the first safe country you arrive in.

No, but they should register as a refugee in the first EU country they enter.

Should they make it to the UK, and then have their refugee status refused, then they can be returned to that country.

Anyone ever see the footage of an 18 month old Iraqui girl asleep in a roadside gutter before YouTube took it down?

I shudder to think how that one panned out.

If anyone deserved a safe haven, it was that little girl and not those 20- something, and in one case 31 year old 'child refugees' we symbolically brought here from Calais a while back.

How do you know? They’re not allowed to apply for jobs or training.

What evidence do you have that a child refugee isn’t a computer whizz or capable of being a surgeon? Other than your own biases, of course.

Yes Bob, that is true.

However those refugees came directly from Nazi Germany and they actually were children.

Today is completely different.

When a guy who was obviously in his 30's with more grey hair than me can pass as a 17 year old, then something is seriously wrong with the system

Or more likely, the people who administer it.

Surely the people who really do care about child refugees should fully support ending the abuse, rather than just turning a blind eye and shouting racist at anyone anyone who tries.

How many of those Jewish child refugees have formed grooming gangs, or carried out acts of terror against the men, women and children of this country? How many were from countries whose regimes threatened an undercover army will invate Britain's shores? How many set up industrial scale crash-for-cash scams that defraud our nation? How many have repeatedly bred with their first cousins, producing birth defects that cost the NHS millions every year?

We are absolutely not all equal.

Therefore our acceptance of different economic migrants should vary.

There are only 2 ways to grow or sustain a strong economy.

Create workers or import workers.

The Tory govt. has placed financial limitations on families over 2 children, so they have no interest in creating workers.

So you can import workers or accept a shrinking economy. Take your choice.

I’d make refugees applicable for those jobs in the greater interests of the nation. Greater tax take, create demand for goods and services, and where there is demand supply will always follow.

But that isn't quite true is it?

There was no basic acknowledgement of citizenship until AD 212 and within a few short years the empire split in two.

Prior to AD 212 Full Roman citizenship was only for a very privileged few.

That didn't include slaves BTW.

What evidence do you have that they are computer whizz's or capable of becoming surgeons? Other than your own biases of course?

That’s why I’m willing to see them available for application and interview/assessment - to see if they are or not.

See the difference between my stance and yours?

How do you interview or assess if a "child" could become a computer genius or surgeon or similar

The same way you assess children born here.

Not quite your interview then, is it

It’s a bit more than ‘Cross our fingers’, although perhaps that’s how you view the education of children.

My bad - I was referring to my initial post in which I said we should open up training and job options to asylum seekers.

And I stand by that. We need workers for a strong economy. We aren’t producing our own. We have to find them from somewhere or the economy will go from its current stagnation into reverse.

Why have asylum seekers here and not allow them to contribute?

Erm, well, I think your taking one context of a word and trying to apply the same logic to another rather different context of the same word.

While yes going back thousands of years we all are migrants from one place or another down through out history, the other context of migrant is the modern day migration, people wanting to come here as either migrants or asylum seekers and I'd hazard a guess saying send migrants back is possibly meaning asylum seekers.

I think "This is a nation full of immigrants" is a bad argument even if it is true. That immigration happened at times when there was nothing as a stable society or social welfare. As of now, people worked hard and built a society based on a set of principles. People give back their hard earned money as taxes for social welfare. When immigrants comes in, all these are being shared with them. People have the right to deny sharing what they earned.

No they don’t.

People pay taxes. Correct. Including migrants. That goes into government coffers and is then spent on stuff that you or I have no control over - and on the whole that’s a good thing, because a libertarian idealistic world where nobody paid taxes and looked after only themselves would soon fall into utter chaos.

"Your assertion was that were a nation of mongrels and immigrants (is that all nations or just the British?).

I entered the assertion from an expert who candidly shows that to be a load of shit.

You then dismiss it immediately and say that's wrong and your only saying it for "my own political bias", well no that's an expert's opinion based on genetics.

If you can dismiss it immediately surely you could give me the immediate answer as to why it's wrong, or have you ran off to Google possible reasons?.

Which means you didn't know it was wrong when you actually dismissed it.

Which means your the one saying things for your own political view point, not me

I'm still waiting?.

You googled it in two minutes apparently but are unable to share your wisdom

I did google it in a couple of minutes. My lack of reply is directly proportional to the level of respect I have for you."

No your simply saying things that suit your political bias (the thing you accused me of funnily enough)

Well done brexiters. You made us subservient to the EU.

Is the rest of the world subservient to its rules or do they make grown adult accommodations and agree on how to trade with each other?

They adhere to the trade rules of the EU. Tariffs and quotas may change - but legal standards of goods, labelling, ingredients, percentage of parts and rules of origin checks apply to all non-EU or EFTA members.

"People have the right to deny sharing what they earned.

No they don’t.

I thought the topic was about refugees. How many of them are coming with skillset good enough to be employed? And how many of them are actually going to jobs?

Refugees aren’t allowed to work. Though I believe they should be given that opportunity - as currently their allowance is unsustainable and leads to begging etc"

You just told that they all pay taxes which the government takes into their coffers. And now you are saying their allowances are bad and they are begging

And who told refugees aren't allowed to work? They are allowed to. But most refugees are not skilled enough. This just goes back to my initial argument. People here pay taxes. They have the right to decide where it goes. If they don't want it to be used as allowances to refugees, they have the right to democratically vote against immigration.

Migrants who work pay taxes. I made a mistake - refugees can indeed work. Asylum seekers can not. My bad.

And you’re absolutely right - people are entitled to vote against immigration. But given the enormous benefits that migration has brought the UK since the war, it’s not a route I’d advise going down.

Here comes the humanitarian and civilization card.

People are not obligated to bend to your own whims of morality. It's easy for you to give moral advice to others while living in a comfortable place in an area with low crime rate. Try living amidst people without jobs or skills to have no jobs in an area where knife crimes are rampant and you can't send your daughter alone outside because there are fucking grooming gang convicts who just got out of the jail. People have earned their money by hard work. They pay taxes. They deserve safe and peaceful place to live. You should be living in a decent apartment. Why not share it with a refugee for free? Pretty sure you will have some savings in your bank account after all of your expenses. Why not donate them all to get food for refugees till you find a job? And give advice about morality later?

People are against refugee immigration, not just in developed countries. But also in developing countries. Everyone wants social stability.

Fascinating how so many are willing to post emotional nonsense on here to justify their fear of foreigners taking over this country or being given our money and houses.

If you want to explore refugee history in this country take a look at this very brief list of refugees and what they were escaping from and explain your spiritual and moral positions....if you can?

French Huguenot - religious oppression

Irish catholics - famine

African Americans - fighting for the english in the US war of independence

Russian jews - religious oppression

Polish - nazi oppression

Bangladeshis - religious oppression

Ugandan asians - racist oppression

Cypriots - turkish invasion and oppression

And thats just a brief list that stops in 2000 before any of the kurdish, libyan, syrian, sri lankan, somali, eritrean, etc conflicts are taken into account.

This is a list of refugees rather than economic migrants because that seems to me to be a distinction that matters as many of these groups were escaping to safety. The argument about economic migrants such as the modern day polish, and other europeans who work in our nhs, farming and building trades is basically about them taking jobs away from british workers by undercutting which is amusing when you think that it embodies the purest principle of capitalism that you all seem so keen on.

You really dont get it do you. Broadly speaking Oppenheimer,s hypotheses are that most of the male population in western parts of the uk are derived from iberian and basque roots ) hence the dark haired welsh ) and that the male population of the east of england have more scandinavian and german roots. What he does not at any point say is that immigration has not had an influence on the population of the uk. You seem to be saying that we are all derived from some pure celtic aryan predecessors whereas I think the truth is that our gene pool is much more varied and infinitely better as a result of the mixing of genetic groups.

"The government have voted down an amendment proposed by the Lords on the EU withdrawal bill that would allow unaccompanied child refugees to join relatives in the UK.

How inhumane are this government? "

The government "argument" is that we shouldn't worry because they will incorporate it at some unspecified later date.

This of course begs the question, why not legislate for it now?

This might be trying to "send a message" that even if you legitimately flee violence or repression to the UK you will not be able to bring your family.

It may be that they can delay spending some money on these children as they grow up in the UK.

They may be sending an anti-immigrant message to a part of their voter base.

They may be indicating to the Lord's that however pertinent your points are we just don't care because of our majority in the Commons.

It could be any combination of these things.

It does, however, demonstrate a lack of empathy and an absence of kindness in modern politics.

The west has enjoyed all manner of material benefit from its empires and meddling in the affairs of other states. We also sell them the weapons and buy the narcotics that destabilise countries and regions.

The state exists to step in to accomplish tasks to large for an individual so the demand to give up your savings or accommodation is a false one. As ever just something to enrage people along with the terror of child grooming gangs who are precisely as common as sexual offenders in the local population.

Of course we want social stability. That's accomplished in times of change by not scaremongering and whipping up fear and allocating blame where it does not exist.

Thats what germany doing and pretty much every "forward" thinking agency on the planet is saying its catastrophic for the country you take people from. It's called a brain drain.

If kids come from Syria and do well in Secondary school and in sports, people suddenly think "Hey we should keep these ones".

No, they are the ones needed really really badly back home. We can not pillage the 3rd world for doctors, workers, their educated, their motivated.

All migrants should be sent back, or when they arrive they should be given nothing. No social welfare, no free health care, nothing. As if they have arrived in USA 100 years ago. "It is up to yourself to get yourself trained and qualified for work". Maybe then they would realize the offers given to them by surrounding countries are fair, and to stop flooding into the EU for a free ride, or to thug our heart strings to get a European passport, not just for them, but for all their descendants to come, why? cause they paid for a criminal to smuggle them in.

This is the UKs post Brexit immigration policy in total.

Only highly skilled immigrants. Preferably with money. Nobody else.

If we funded the countries closer to conflict zones better to accommodate millions of refugees then perhaps they wouldn't feel the need to come here?

If we didn't destabilise countries for our economic and geopolitical ends perhaps there would be fewer conflicts?

If we didn't sell them the weapons to kill each other so efficiently perhaps their would be fewer refugees.

You keep crying for stats and facts about everything. Can you show me evidence of how much money UK makes by selling weapons and how much narcotics we buy from them?

There are enough stats about grooming gangs. Find me the cases of grooming gangs where the criminals belong to the local population. I will find you the grooming gang cases with the 'other' population. Let's see who runs out of cases first. And people who vote against refugees are workers who don't have to see internet statistics like you to see ground reality. They face these problems in real life. Unlike you, they know the truth.

No one taught their kids not to be compassionate. There are two factors to it.

How far do you go to help? If you earn 100 bucks, at best, you may give away 10 bucks for charity to help others. Anything over that, you are starting to sacrifice your own happiness. You know you can always let many homeless people into your house to sleep safely at night. They just need space big enough to keep their sleeping bags. You could maybe let 5-10 people sleep in your living room. But do you do that? Why not? You people keep complaining about NHS not being efficient enough. And you also want to take in more unskilled people? How do you think the country can handle that?

Second factor, if I see a sincere person who is determined to do good in life, I will do my best to help that person get back on feet. If all that person does is to drink and take drugs, I will ask him to fuck off. Unfortunately, you cannot do that level of filtering on refugees, can you? There are plenty of people determined to work hard. There are also plenty of people whose mind is set on getting here, form gangs and have fun as the punishment is not severe even if you get caught. People have seen enough. They don't want it anymore. And this is not just the UK. Right wing parties are taking lead all around the world. If the left wing's only response is to sit in a corner and cry that people are inhuman and racist, they are can forget winning elections for decades.

Inhuman and racist it may be but there are good reasons to support social change, justice and financial equality whatever ones political persuasion might be (I'm not left wing btw).

I've yet to see a society based on far right principles (or far left for that matter) that has created, resilient, sustainable communities.

Invariably they promote selfish, inward looking perspectives where those who 'have' want more and will manipulate the system to achieve it, whilst the disenfranchised will resort to other means.

Not so long ago the working man and woman didn't have the vote, children worked in mines and were shoved up chimneys-sounds ridiculous now but it was social reformers (frequently denounced as 'do-gooders) who instigated the change.
