Labour plans to detain child immigrants.

[Beso]

A tory plan that they previously vigorously opposed.

What does detain mean, and what does child mean - is it going to include the very dubious "teenagers" with beards and comb-overs, the ones who graced the front pages of various tabloids?

Actual children don't deserve to be punished, I'd rather see unaccompanied children be put into caring foster homes, than be punished for being treated like contraband.

This is the problem of taking articles from far left propaganda "websites" like the laughably named Independent

They are not child migrants

They are illegal migrants people trafficked into the country against our laws by criminal gangs

If they’re seeking asylum they’re not illegals migrants.

If they’re seeking asylum they’re not illegals migrants.

and that is what they are told to say by the traffikers

they also arrive with cigarettes and phones but sadly all there details and passports fell in the sea :sad:

It's not possible to seek asylum in the UK from people traveling from France. They are all illegal.

Does anyone have any idea how broken Children's Services is? And now it's going to have further pressure as people weep and cry about the plight of kids who are here illegally? I don't believe they should be ill-treated, but I also don't believe they should be given an advantage over our own kids in care. Like the adult illegals are given priority over our own homeless.
