One of my comments earlier included a comment about migrants being killed in the channel as a result of people smuggling.

Well it has now happened

**Migrants die in biggest loss of life in Channel**

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59406355

27 people have died

@zleap

they're coming for the social benefits

the west hopes to use them to pay taxes already owed

it's the usual comedy of errors of democracy

and diversity is still genocide

@amerika

a few years ago 40+ migrants froze to death in the back of a lorry.

Regardless of why they are coming here, we need to crack down on people smugglers who don't care what happens to them once their money has been handed over.

@zleap

I think we need to eliminate the reasons they come here.

Source: a century of trying to bust people smugglers at the US border has totally failed.

You'd have to go full Soviet to stop it.

@amerika

Maybe the west should stop invading and bombing other countries and trying to impose their will.

We also need to sort out equality so that wealth and opportunity is shared to all.

@zleap

Our problem is that when we don't invade and bomb, problems proliferate.

We should probably separate method from goal here.

Like, US foreign policy is ham-handed, even when it has good intentions.

Follow

@amerika Well we invaded iraq without a post saddam plan,

@zleap

...another stunning American foreign policy success! Yep, good point, lol.
