    Illegal immigrants, not all migrants. They don’t have those things because they’re in the country illegally, we can’t run society on what are by definition, criminals, can and can’t access.

      So, you’d rather have anyone who’s “illegal” acquire all of life’s necessities by criminal means? That’s a good way to jack up crime stats.

        I think most people would prefer them not to turn up at all and apply legally.

          You missed the point. Not that I expected much after you equated arriving in the EU illegally with being a “criminal.”

              You appear to be answering to the wrong comment. You didn’t, NuPNuA did though.
