Reactions to UK deportation of illegal migrants
Social media users who took to the comments section of the post shared their views on the illegal immigration crackdown embarked upon by UK law enforcement. Others opined that the announcement was seeking attention-seeking rhetoric, as the issue of illegal migration is still troubling the UK.
Eddie Hardcastle stated:
“How long did that take? Because while it was happening, more were coming in, so it’s like a hole in the bucket.”
Pat Sykes added:
“Not worth mentioning, it’s a drop in the ocean. Now if you said 60 thousand, then you’d have the public cheering.”
Sandra Sadler wrote:
“The reason the French allow the boats to sail from their shores virtually unchallenged is because of the pull factor to Britain. They do not get the benefits in France that they get here. The French government admitted this in a statement a few months ago.”
