The absurdity of right-wing views on borders

Britain is an island nation in north western Europe, far from the land mass where our distant ancestors came from. Even if you're religious and believe the bible or other religious text, show me where Britain, or the UK, or any area which became our country is mentioned. You can't, because it's not there. So it's clear then, none of us are originally from Britain.

That being the case, I'd like to know at what point in history you think we should draw the line. Would it be after the Romans invaded? After Irish workers came over and built our roads and railways? Or more recently, like perhaps after you yourself were born here?

Britain is as guilty as any nation of marching into lands already occupied by other peoples and taking over. We have made our fortunes from the fat of other peoples' land and now our government and many of our brain-washed, selfish people want to stop desperate people from finding refuge in the UK.

You have no stronger claim on the area you live in than any person from any other part of the globe. Men, women and children are dying trying to leave oppressive and dangerous nations. They are not coming to steal your job or live off your taxes; they are merely trying to survive. Though we may not feel it, we are fortunate and wealthy and we cannot close our eyes and ears to this desperate crisis. And we absolutely should provide refuge to many, many more people.
