UK is building a wall

[demi-conservative]

Construction is soon to begin on a "big new wall" in Calais following a surge in the number migrants trying to get across the Channel, the Government has announced...

The measure was confirmed on Tuesday by the immigration minister Robert Goodwill, who said: "The security that we are putting in at the port is being stepped up with better equipment.

"We are going to start building this big new wall very soon. We've done the fence, now we are doing a wall."

It's interesting to hear our resident liberals tout the splendor of Europe's progressiveness, when they are becoming more like us...

So, we should be more like Europe with open borders because that's so much more wonderful. Globalism is the BEST! Until it's not. So, when Europe begins to reclaim it's borders, then we should NOT be like Europe....

Wait. When we try to enforce borders we are racist? When europe does it its fine?
Hypocrisy much?

It's like when liberals were bragging about how wonderful the system was working in Venzuela just a few months ago, now they can't even mention the name.

It annoys me greatly that people complain so much about capitalism and christianity. True I used to think christianity was behind many attrocities, but I found in time just how wrong I was.

Christianity, like any other religion/philosophy/morality, can only be behind atrocities if the people who committed those acts were following its precepts and would have acted differently if following a different behavioural framework.

I dont quite follow your arguement. Could you reword it?

Better example. Mexico has built fences along their southern border to keep out people from Central America and vigorously patrol their border. But its racist if we build do the same.

Calais used to be owned by the UK back in the day. In fact, England owned half of France at one point until King John lost almost all of it.

We already have part of a wall. I oppose more of one on a money standpoint more than anything. The number of illegal immigrants in the country has remained relatively stable the past few years, so I don't know why people are so worried about it.
