I don’t typically write content like this for our site, but I’m increasingly disillusioned by the state of global affairs … particularly in Australia and the UK when it comes to immigration, both legal and illegal. With that in mind, allow me to share a perspective, one grounded in concern, observation, and a growing sense that the system is no longer working as it should.
Once upon a time, migration was a hopeful story, a tale of people seeking safety, opportunity, and perhaps a strong cuppa with a side of freedom. But lately, particularly in the UK, it feels less like a hopeful story … and more like a shambles written by confused civil servants and edited by influencers with an agenda.
We’re not talking about legal migration here - the folks who go through the proper channels, learn the language, and spend two years politely pretending to like Marmite while secretly Googling what it actually is.
We’re talking about illegal migration — you know, the “hop on a dinghy, cross the Channel, destroy your documents, and claim asylum” variety. The type that’s got the whole country asking, “Sorry, who’s in charge of this system again?”
First off, the UK is an island. It used to have that “we’re hard to get to” vibe going for it. But in recent years, the English Channel has become a glorified slip ’n’ slide for dodgy boats, smugglers, and inflatable rafts mostly carrying men from Albania, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Eritrea, the top countries of origin for illegal Channel crossings.
Every week we hear about record numbers of illegal arrivals, many of them coached to say the right words, destroy their IDs, and lodge claims that take months (if not years) to resolve. Meanwhile, genuine refugees from war zones are stuck in processing purgatory because someone named "Ahmed" claimed asylum five times under five names.
Incredibly the majority of illegal immigrants in Australia, those who have overstayed their visas, are most likely to be from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and the United States, I guess our saving grace is we are simply so far away.
Let’s address the elephant in the Travelodge: why are thousands of illegal migrants being put up in taxpayer-funded hotels while locals are struggling to pay rent?
Now, before someone accuses this of being “anti-immigrant” … take a breath. It’s not about race. It’s not about religion. It’s about basic fairness and common sense.
The Australian and British public is, on the whole, welcoming. But when you’re told “There’s no budget for school lunches” while watching migrants getting 3 meals a day and a free mobile SIM, even the most tolerant taxpayer starts to feel like a mug.
Let’s break this down like a bad credit card statement.
We always hear about compassion, human rights, and “doing the right thing” which is great, don’t get me wrong, but what about the actual cost of migration? Not just handing out a few visas and calling it a day. We’re talking border patrols, enforcement agencies, detention centres, asylum processing, customer service hotlines where no one ever answers, and those mysterious “migration support groups” that seem to hold more Zoom meetings than actual outcomes.
Here’s the wallet-wincing reality:
And that’s likely not even the full tab, since most figures don’t include the hidden extras like hotel bills, legal appeals, court backlogs, and the emotional cost of explaining to the public why their tax money is housing someone who just tossed their passport in the Channel.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth that no one wants to say out loud at dinner parties: not everyone crossing the border illegally is here to build a better life or contribute to society. Some are here to exploit the system, and a very disturbing number are ending up in police custody for heinous crimes, including a spike in child exploitation and grooming offences.
Yes … it’s horrifying. Yes … it’s happening. And no … talking about it doesn’t make you a xenophobe. It makes you someone who values child safety over political correctness.
Even more terrifying are the random, violent attacks on innocent civilians, stabbings in broad daylight, carried out by individuals screaming “Allahu Akbar” while lunging at innocent strangers with knives. These aren’t isolated incidents anymore. They’re becoming an increasingly frequent and brutal reality, especially in cities like London, Nottingham, Birmingham and Ireland.
Sorry, but if your idea of “freedom” involves throwing bricks at Pride parades like the 2019 Birmingham attacks, harassing women for not wearing a hijab as seen in recent reports from London’s public transport, or intimidating people over their clothing choices, then we’ve seriously misunderstood what you mean by “asylum.”
You’d think with all this going on, there’d be strict checks in place. But alas, welcome to the AU/UK immigration system: a masterclass in paperwork limbo, slow-motion decision-making, and fear of offending anyone at any cost.
Border staff are overwhelmed, politicians are more focused on Twitter wars than policy, and the courts are drowning in cases where no one knows who the claimant actually is, because surprise! Their ID “got lost in the sea.”
Illegal migration is a mess. The Australian and British public knows it. Migrants who follow the rules know it. And even some of the people sneaking in know it, too, but they’ve clocked that the system is too broken to stop them.
Want a multicultural, fair, and welcoming AUS & UK? Then fix the bloody system.
Because if we don’t, we risk losing not only control of our borders, but public trust, social cohesion, and maybe even the ability to have this conversation without someone yelling, “You’re racist!” when all you said was “Shouldn’t we know who’s entering the country?”
What’s your take?
Fed up with the dinghy drama? Seen it first-hand? Still holding out hope for a sensible solution?
Drop your thoughts in the comments below … just don’t book a room at the asylum-seeker Hilton. Apparently, there’s a waitlist!
