Can you please read what I'm putting on here ? Why do you ask the same question? Do you not understand how trade works ?
Do you honestly believe customs officials open up all the lorries and boxes etc ? Its fine on line !
Read smart border 2 - its the EU solution they came up with
Why do we need to do checks on borders ? We don't do that now
Jeez
Oh dear, you seem to be having comprehension problems again
Yes a citizen of another EU country would have their passport checked at the point of entry into the ROI, at least you understand that.
But please enlighten me as to how the UK will prevent any of them illegally entering the UK if we do not intend to have hard border checks or any tech solution to prevent that
The ROI cannot refuse entry to any EU citizen so they are not going to be of any use and one of the key brexiteer arguments was the control of immigration and yet you suggest leaving the back door open
Additionally, a colleague of mine Postulated the other day that other countries may lodge a complaint with the WTO if we offer open boarders to one country whilst trading under WTO rules and not to all.
