I think the numbers (coming in) is a very relevant part of this discussion, however many politicians and talking heads like to say 'it's not about the numbers coming in, it's about blah blah blah.'How many asylum seekers and illegal immigrants do we want to have coming every year?
Current cos is £4+bn.
England is the most densely populated part of the U.K. so maybe we build a facility in a north Scotland island ?
Re sending all the migrants to Scotland, you might not have to worry. The SNP/Green coalition love to bleat on about welcoming them with open arms and wanting more. I also mentioned in a previous thread how the SNP suggested building one or two new towns in Scotland (up north I think) almost exclusively if not entirely for housing migrants.
The SNP/Greens love to say how 'the people of Scotland' are welcoming to all. Of course they use the fact we voted to remain in the EU as their proof of this. However I suspect everyone has a tipping point, and even the welcoming people of Scotland might start to have a change of heart depending on the numbers settling here.
