"If you cut off all 'legal' routes and make it as difficult as possible for desperate asylum seekers, you can then claim that you have the right to block them when they have no choice but to try and get here anyway. It's deliberate and pointless cruelty: These people are in need and could contribute so much to our country by doing the jobs we need filling. Racism is always self defeating."
SELF: We spent centuries treating these people as commodities, as products, just like cows and sheep that can be shipped about as supposedly insentient objects. We then DID pay compensation, that's true. However, not to them or their descendants, but to the very people who enslaved them. How stupid is that? How bizarre and eccentric to reward the most disgusting behaviour imaginable. And this was under monarchs who, at their Coronation, swore to uphold the morality and law of the Bible as the very "living oracles of God" that must be obeyed. And God said to His Chosen, the Jewish people that they must "welcome the stranger in their midst". NOT to treat them as little better than dirt.
