Can you imagine someone walking into your house at teatime, sitting down at your table, eating the food you have worked hard to provide, using the home that you saved so hard to get for your family?
This is an analogy that equates to what these illegal migrants are doing.
Now if that sits well with you, then fine. But it does not sit well with me.

We have absolutely no responsibility to these people.
They chose to leave their homeland.

And as for the article in the Guardian, it is calculated emotional blackmail..... There are many women in Eritrea who lose babies......and as cold as this may sound the women accept it as a fact of life...They know they will go on and have other children.

We cannot be saviours of the worlds poor and homeless.....we have plenty that could be looked after who were born here!

Well spoken Margaret
