Send them back. They left without cleaning up their mess, that's not how we're raised.

Meanwhile that's about how many came into the US DAILY during Biden's presidency.

Farage's Britain is similar-enough to Trump's America that it's "golden", but it's still less-collapsed than the US, so it's preferable, right??

England's monarchism, its class-religion ( rooted in monarchism, so it's short-term irremoveable ), & its framing-games ( Brexit was a result of 1 such ) make it the most-similar to the US, except for the "patriotism" indoctrination that is normal in schools in the US..

it's a "good" fit

it'll have consequences for England, of course, as all population-composition-changes do..

..helping Farage's mission..

You can transplant the body, even the life, but you aren't changing the religion, & the US's religion PRODUCED the US's current-condition, exactly the same as all our countries are in the process of distilling our own national-corruption-essences into authority-institutions, as quickly as we can, because we haven't got spine-enough to filter-out DarkTriad from authority, in ANY of our countries..


Note the numbers, though: nearly 9k asking citizenship in the UK from the US..

https://blog.hireahelper.com/2025-texas-migration-report/ over 0.26-MILLION moved to texas in the year before 2025-Oct.

Yes, the drasticness of the change is different, but when you've got nearly 2 orders of magnitude difference between the opportunism vs the fleeing, then you're seeing significant evidence of national-nature.

As a US citizen told me, years ago: "you're welcome in Texas only as long as you're leaving: don't try settling there, no matter where you're from, you AREN'T welcome there", & over the years that has become more & more validated.

Use 'em & lose 'em, right?

I "wonder" if that paradigm, in-play for workers from other-states, also is in-play for immigrant farm-workers??

That the people with-means are escaping, is natural:

aren't the oligarchs making certain that they've got their isolation, their coddling, & their security, including bunkers, ready & operating, for the butchering-down of the "masses"?

Why wouldn't we who can afford to leave impending-hell zones do-so, with our families?

It's the same principle..

We aren't as causing-of-the-problem as the oligarchs are, but we're still accommodating of the root-problem, & saving ourselves, leaving others to eat the coming atrocities, same as always..

That woke socialist convict, the root-guru of the Christians, Yesua benJoseph, he got in there with the people who were about-to-be-stoned-to-death, with the convicts, with the crushed, the destitute, etc, & fought for their-validity & their-rights..

No wonder he was exterminated by the privilege-conservatives of his time.

( he was conservative-of-LivingWorth, conservative-of-LivingPotential, & conservative-of-LivingOpportunity, so pretending, as the privilege-conservatives do, that THEY ALONE "own" the meaning of "conservative" is false, & always has been: they just conserve different things.

As a delightful Jewish mind on a TLC TV-show, last-century or so, identified: when benJoseph got violent on the commercial-operation of the Temple, that was an incredibly Jewish thing to do! .. he was being conservative, just of the essence of Judaism, instead of its forms .. & that difference is important.

All the false-framing in the world isn't going to go-away for no reason: it has to be force-displaced! )
