At least that's a start. One country that could host millions of people would be Kazakhstan and since they technically want to be part of Europe when it comes to sport ( see UEFA ), a deal with them would also make sense.

Spain need to do the same in Senegal as they seem to be the majority...

Ah, the forum pub bore then.

Sorry, are we talking about British pensioners now?

British pensioners having just one destination in mind could live perfectly well in any EU country but they choose Spain so it's clear they're economic migrants.

Those that never sorted their residency out I guess.

So you choose Spain to retire to, you may have purchased property, you may pay rent, you bring along your pension(s) which is spent within the Spanish economy; how much does a typical brit retiree cost the Spanish taxpayer?

The illegals flooding the EU & UK bring nothing and contribute nothing, the vast majority cost the taxpayer...£7,000,000 a day in hotel bills alone.

That depends on the country. The UK's policy is not to build immigration centres, not let them work, pay for hotels, and process them extremely slowly as if it dissuaded immigration but all it does is saddle the government with huge bills. Spain's policy is more pragmatic and they do contribute.

Not what the virtue signalling few on here wish to hear though Bob.

I have compassion for everyone but looking at the numbers brexit was like economic suicide. Instead of cutting EU/EEA immigration we should have boosted it at the expense of non-EU/EEA immigration (which the gov't always had 100% control over, even when part of the EU):

So it's a complex issue but you "have a friend" who tells you something you don't bother to check.

If they came with money and assets and didn’t rely on public services then it wouldn’t be such a problem. Problem is they come with nothing and require looking after at expense to the tax payer. Each individual one that comes makes the state that little bit more poorer.

VFR

You have misunderstood what Bob said, the point made was the same as you make in that they (the illegal economic migrants) are a burden on any country they target who were stupid enough to sign up for the UN charter.
Yes on paper all the luvvies hugged each other and ordered another designer coffee with syrup (the dimwits really do) in total ignorance that any charter will immediatly be abused by all & sundry at the expense of those genuinely seeking asylum.

Are.you talking about the 1951 Refugee Convention where 146 countries signed up?

VFR

1951 (LOL)
No the one that Teresa May roped the UK into and the EU also. (As you most probably know)

DLC

No idea. May was around for 9 years as Home Secretary and PM. Try mentioning the name of the agreement or a date.

Ah yes, the Dublin agreement that ended up with more coming to the UK than leaving it.

Correct. In UK brexit was advertised as "getting back control of borders". But reality now is quite opposite.
