Territorial Sovereignty: Immigration Article Index



We have written on Immigration and Asylum for many years, and we lay out moral, logical, workable and helpful philosophy and policy. The following documents appear on this website. This index is updated as we publish new material. The documents are not listed in chronological order. Pic: Our "Stop Mass Immigration" Speech in George Square, Glasgow, 10-8-24, link below.



BACKGROUND 

Some people find it awkward to speak about immigration. Too often, many of us are easily confused and silenced when confronted with aggressive "virtue signalling" from the Open Border advocates who attempt to seize the "moral high ground". Realising this, we put together this "Declaration of Moral Principles" which helps to position immigration-control policy within a clear set of fundamental Moral Principles, which counter the virtue-signalling, and false morality, of the Open Border advocates.

 

We compiled this comprehensive paper which helps to debunk the "nation of immigrants" notion!


No British Government to date has approached this vital matter in the logical way that we lay out here.


ECONOMIC POSITION

We summarised the 2008 House of Lords Report on the Economic Impact of Immigration. It a good summary of our basic principles on immigration.


This is related to the false "We need a rising GDP" theme. The notion that we need immigrants to "fill vacancies" is also economically illiterate.


Endless immigration creates endless new demand, which creates even more vacancies, which needs even more immigration. The "vacancy" argument is not a good reason to promote immigration and, indeed, it makes the demand for immigration even greater.


It is said that "immigration boosts Gross Domestic Product". This is seen by Immigration Enthusiasts as an argument in its favour. In reality, not only is the economic growth marginal at best, but we should stop using it as an indicator of the health of the economy.


ESSENTIAL POLICIES to PROTECT our TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY

A nation without a border does not exist as a nation. It's ability to set the lines of its national border, and its ability to prevent a breach, is a measure of its sovereignty – its authority over its own existence! Yet, an official Office of National Statistics report released on the 23-5-24 told us that over 1.2 million "long-term immigrants" entered the UK in 2023. This is a national emergency. It is a national security issue. We lay out 3 essential policies for the benefit of those who are working to build a patriotic orthodoxy for the future.


The UK Government has to stop giving our taxpayers' money to those people and organisations who are promoting open borders and working against a restrictionist immigration and asylum policy. We show how!


National Voting Rights derive from National Citizenship (not Residence) and we must repeal all voting "rights" based on residence alone.


We look at figures going back to 1853 to find a historic norm for annual gross immigration into the UK.


We find the historic norm for immigrants "accepted for settlement" from 1960 up until 1997 inclusive when numbers changed dramatically.


Latest figures show that gross immigration from abroad into Scotland is equivalent to a town larger than Paisley each year. The net figure is equivalent to a town the size of Inverness.


SPEECHES

We said:

1. Stop Mass Immigration.

2. Stop the Boats and Send them Back.

3. Ensure No Resettlement of such people in Scotland.

4. First Minister John Swinney to meet with a delegation from A Force For Good to discuss our concerns.

5. Politicians to recognise the normal and necessary concerns of millions and not attack people with smears.

ASYLUM POLICY

Our Asylum law is being abused as a route into the country. We know this when we compare today's figures with those from the 1970s when asylum was virtually non-existent. We look at why this has changed, and the role of well-funded, often taxpayer-funded, lawyers and NGOs.

 

We made the following Policy suggestions in the above article.

1. Leave the ECHR.

 

2. Re-write elements of the UK's Human Rights Act where necessary. 

It is not actually necessary to "abolish" the UK's HRA – indeed it could be strengthened to ensure stronger free speech, and freedom of assembly, rights.

 

But we do need to leave the European Convention on Human Rights because it prohibits us dis-applying the ECHR's Articles 3 and 8 in certain circumstances, which are necessary to do in order to stop fraudulent asylum claims.

 

3. Create a new law "Qualification for UK Asylum Act" which will, where necessary, dis-apply the similar Articles 3 and 8 which exist in the UK's HRA in certain specific instances of immigration, asylum, and deportation.

 

It shouldn't really be necessary to have to leave the UN Refugee Convention.

 

All we need to do is adjust elements of it in our domestic law, in order to reflect our own unique British circumstances. For example, we could extend the definitions of those who are not eligible to be considered for asylum (such as economic migrants).

 

This may, or may not, provoke a conflict with the United Nations regarding membership of the UN Refugee Convention, but either way, a serious UK Government must press on!

 

4. Abolish Legal Aid for all Immigration and Asylum Cases

The massive and lucrative legal industry which encourages, facilitates, services, maintains and has a vested financial interest in perpetuating this endless invasion at British Taxpayers' expense, must be defunded.

 

5. Abolish the Right of Appeal for Asylum Cases 

As mentioned above, the right of appeal is not required under the UN Refugee Convention. It was introduced into the UK by the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993, and is presently found in the Nationality and Immigration Act 2002, secs 82-84.

 

Once you have the legal ability to do things then you can build the physical ability to do things, which might include:

 

6. Disband the entire Home Office immigration department which is failing miserably to deal with this, and contract it out to an arms-length, private sector organisation which does it for financial incentive.

 

7. Build up the Border Force, stop boats in the Channel, physically return them to France etc.


8. It is also possible to scrap the Asylum laws entirely, and simply have ad hoc "humanitarian" visa programmes for particular groups of people, as and when necessary, as we have seen recently with the Ukraine and Hong Kong humanitarian visa schemes – which operate independently of the usual Asylum legislation.


Asylum costs British Taxpayers £15 million a day, which is almost 5 times the expenditure on "Border Force" alone! We highlight the figures from the 2024 House of Commons Report.


It only needs the political will, and it will save lives in the long-run.
