This thread advocates nothing it’s asking a question and you can’t be taken seriously when ever poll shows not just a majority but a large majority wanting lower immigration in this country and across Europe.

Yea, because recent polls have been massively trustworthy...

As Europe is becoming more and more right wing, and the boiling point of mass immigration builds up, when do you think people will start to demand mass deportations of migrants?

Do you mean Europe as a whole? That would be never other than what happens presently.

Do you mean individual countries and their elected governments? I dont see it. the countries which are most anti immigration and openly hostile tend to be in Eastern Europe, but they have very small to non existent muslim population. I assume you mean Muslims and brown people rather than Americans and Austalians?

Do we have a boiling point of mass immigration? Not really.
More of an issue in Italy where people are still crossing from Africa, but the big refugee movements from Turkey have stopped as the EU pays the Turks money to close that route.

You are being too dramatic OP and generalising.

Yes they have, all the polls derided were in the margin of error.

When a poll has double digit majorities it is always right

Never, as the people you speak of make up the minority of the population, and their proportions aren't growing.

Theres a difference between people suggesting lower immigration and demanding mass deportations because things are at a boiling point.

Ok pumpkin, you believe what you like. I have more faith that the British public will take a more caring stance on immigration if put to a vote.

The thread is nodding towards the migrant crisis in Europe. That’s Muslims.

Except not all migrants are muslims, and not all muslims are migrants. Mass deportation wouldn’t be deportation of muslims, it would be deportation of migrants (both muslim and non muslim), hence anarchism’s “ethnic cleansing” comment.

(Though ethnic cleansing would still be a fitting term if it was “deport all muslims”, since ethnic cleansing is the mass expulsion or killing of members of one ethnic or religious group in an area by those of another.)

Who said there wasn’t a difference? People want lower immigration now and every year that passes more people become angry over it.

Eventually if nothing changes it boils over.

Well how condescending.

You can believe what you like plenty of people believe in all sorts of unfounded beliefs.

Polling is accurate.

Not really. immigration isnt at the top of the agenda. people are more worried about Brexit, economy, housing, NHS. Immigration has slipped way down the line.

You’re just being pedantic now ethnic cleansing may include things others than ethnicity in a dictionary definition for example but if you talk to normal people and mention the phrase they think ethnicity.

This thread is getting derailed over pointless crap
