Comment on Home secretary to make some migrants wait 10 years or more for right to settle in UK

  I am a citizen of this nation, I abide and respect the law, even those I disagree with. I do not think we should let people who we don’t know in undocumented who are trying their hand at paying criminal gangs. If you can’t respect something as simple as the border, you should have zero right to be here.

    No you don’t. Nobody does. There’s so many laws, many of them contradictory, that it’s literally impossible to abide by the law.

    Over the course of the last decade, each year has seen an average of 2,685 new laws - the equivalent of almost seven and a half a day or one every three-and-a-quarter hours

    That was in 2007. There have been thousands of laws since.

      My allegiance is to His Majesty the King, his Heirs and Successors, according to law.

      God save the King. I respect that. Same reason when I visited China I respected their laws, like checking in with a police station whenever I went somewhere even though the locals said I didn’t really have to bother as it’s unenforced. But I am in their country, I respect their laws.
