I'm not trying to play devils advocate here, or even trying start up another immigration row, but I've got some genuine questions (due to my ignorance) that need answering.
1) If the government allows people to enter this country, at what number do we cap it, if at all? Then, if/when that quota is met, then what? We start turning people away, regardless?
2) Where do these people go, when they get to England? Assign them to randomly chosen towns/cities? Set up Refugee camps? How do we feed, clothe, house & care for them?
Not trying to sound cold towards these peoples plights, just asking genuinely
Good questions and you won't get answers to them that aren't wild guesses on here I'm afraid. Without doubt the Government will have scenario planned all these questions and then played the answers back against the popular response they think the nation will give. What they haven't reckoned on is the need to do something material quickly because of all of the latest media pictures and the rest of Europe asking us to do more.
I certainly wouldn't like to second guess what they (Gov't) will do, the nation seems split at the moment, half demanding we do more from a refugee point of view vs them that don't want us to do anymore than we are at the moment. It just too fluid to call at the moment.
