How do we explain to them we either fight them over there or over here..?
Well over here does have attractions - shorter, internal lines of communications. Fewer transport costs. Better hotels. more equable climate
Drifting further (well SSBNs drift too) but the UK Border Force on TV last night was very impressive with some Gucci kit - CO2 sniffers, vibration sensors for heatbeats etc. State of the art but then what?
Illegals released pending investigation. Escape from the compound back to the Calais refugee camp. No passport so no idea where to deport them.
Overstaying visas etc.
Then a perfectly bonafide US male who didn't realise he needed a work permit even for a short lecture tour is turned back.
We need to get tough and then stay tough.
