But if we assist the froggies to follow the rules then what objections
can they possibly make Meg??
The claims the migrants would jump into the water need to be
tested? As they all appear to be wearing lifejackets the chance of
drowning would be very low anyway, certainly lower than the risks
involved in crossing the channell in an overloaded dinghy !!
We need to be more forceful in the way we deal with this problem
and as long as we comply with the current laws regulating illegal
migration such as seeking asylum in the first safe country they
enter then there can be no dispute !!
