Stop letting them in for starters, kick every single one with a criminal record out, set a mandatory one child policy (donât like it there are 183 other countries to immigrate to), increase punishment for immigrants by a factor of 2/3/5x the normal rate. This should* deter basic crime. Establish super harsh laws for immigrants regarding rape, sexual assault, and trafficking. First time 20 years, next time 50 years. Bet your ass 40% are not risking two decades. But none of this will happen.

Itâs because we made it a habit to never criticize protesters. Any criticism of a protest meant you are automatically against the protestersâ cause. We made protesting into a participation trophy where what you accomplish matters less than showing up. Even when youâre literally just throwing soup on art because they were made with oil paints, there was some people legitimately defending that protest because of something that means nothing; âits for a good causeâ, âat least theyâre getting a conversation startedâ, âand âitâs more than most people doâ.
If I went outside and screamed in the middle of my street for an hour, then when I got arrested said I was âgiving a voice to silent peopleâ, Iâd have done as effective a protest as most modern âprotestersâ

Borders need to be controlled. Immigration is good and needed but must be limited to those who will assimilate into the culture and be productive members of society. There is not enough money to take of our citizens plus everyone else who wants to come for the benefits.

Define "mass" immigration

No. People on the left support immigration. We support it because it strengthens the economy, and for refugees it's simply the morally right thing to do.
"Mass immigration" is a racist dog whistle intended to involve the idea that immigrants are somehow "invading" the country. And unfortunately, tons of people who are unaware of that still use the term without thinking.

Irrespective of the merits of any demonstration, itâs cause or what itâs hoping to achieve.
There is NEVER, any justification for looting, or other types of theft, criminal damage or violence.

Now that living is under threat, thanks to those scumbags.
The irony of it is, whatever the reason for the demonstration, any justification is lost on the powers that be, whoâll solely focus on all the crime committed, not the original grievance.
Letâs hope these scumbags are caught in the subsequent weeks, via video footage (CCTV), of their disgusting crimes.
