Richard PearsonThe only one who is insisting that it's all about "illegal" "undocumented" otherwise those entering illegally or clandestinely is >YOU<. Apparently, suddenly your memory has been revived. How curious. Feigning loss of memory doesn't encourage credibility. The fact remains that ETIAS addresses the much larger problem of those who enter fully legally (as a "tourist") but never register or return, just stay living here. Under the radar. Working black, not paying taxes, etc. If you were to integrate a bit outside your insular safe zome, you'd see it yourself Brits are one nationality that is famous for that, but the astronomically larger demographic are North Africans, Asians and South Americans. They alone far exceed the numbers of "boat people". To say ETIAS won't address the problem of "boat people " is true. But heart surgery also doesn't remove brain tumours. Nor is it designed to do so. Look it up, Einstein.
Morgan WilliamsMorgan, According to our previous conversations about “irregular migration” the screen shots of which I have just found, (and can copy here if you so wish), you insisted that it had nothing to do with “boat people” but about Brits and citizens of other non EU nations overstaying their allotted time. You are now stating that it IS about mass illegal immigration into the EU, which again according to you is neither mass, nor illegal. IF as you state everyone arrives fully documented, (your words, not mine) why are the EU authorities trying to impede it or stop it ?. Treat me like a fool if you like, but I think the rest of the readers deserve more consideration. Oh, and don’t forget to tell your fans to give this comment loads of negative votes when it appears online. Cheers
Richard PearsonSince both of you are incorrect, perhaps you might benefit from looking it up? It's hardly a secret, loads of information about irregular immigration out there at your fingertips. In fact, you claimed to have conducted extensive research on it last time, and in the end, it turned out you were clueless. Hint: the vast majority of irregular immigrants are fully documentented and enter perfectly legally. Good luck. This time.
Julian SimmsThanks Julian, that’s been and is my opinion as well. Others seem to think that it has something to do with people overstaying their 90 day legal limit. Richard
Morgan WilliamsMorgan, are you going to remind me or not ? Or are you worried about embarrassing YOURself ? By the way, I see that your fan club have been busy at work handing out negative votes. I hope you buy them a drink every so often.
Richard PearsonRichard, surely it refers to the uncontrolled entrance of undocumented immigrants into the EU and it’s member nations ? Julian
Morgan WilliamsI have forgotten. Please inform us.
Richard PearsonYou know what it means, it's been explained to you. It was one of your more embarrassing moments. I'd think you'd remember.
Richard Pearson"Stop unusual travel"
Nah, I’m more of a fan of my namesake, Richard Feynman. Even so, thanks for acknowledging that my IQ, let alone intelligence, and, may I say it, upbringing, is on a far higher level than you will ever be able to strive for. Bon vespre
