  1. I do so admire your capacity to conjoin compassion with rationality into one coherent thought process. We have much to learn from people like you. And I am so glad to hear this terminology challenged. Let’s face it? The reason Tories use the term, “illegal migrant,” is purely manipulative and a psychological, “technique.” They want to instil racist mental images in the minds of the public; Muslim suicide bombers, Russian spies and a generally semi-vagrant, criminal underclass, skulking about our cities stealing to survive and stealing our jobs from under our noses too. Two ironies with this (well, actually countless ironies, but the two I’ll mention are): 1: They are using the same technique that the Nazis used against Jews in the 1930’s, which are the same techniques that such people are fleeing, and would be fleeing from Britain if there was any substantive action being taken to back up the claims of their, “criminality.” But, as Robespierre points out, there have been no arrests, because migration and asylum seeking are not crimes. 2: The mental image of the, “illegal migrant,” these schemers foster is such a distortion that it results in unthinking people looking at their neighbours with suspicion, even if they have been born and bred in Britain, simply because their skin is the same colour as that of our PM and previous couple of Home Secretaries. And those same people then complain loudly in the pub about, “these illegals,” to a guy with white skin and an odd accent who is nodding along and not about to tell this bigot that he has outstayed his visa for years and would be deported under current laws! All this, “government,” seems capable of is making up entirely false problems, promising to fix what no one saw as a problem until they started going on about it, and then making it worse by every empirical measure! They are a national security threat!
