A government’s primary obligation is to the native people.
Migration is perhaps the most consequential issue of our time. Our world is far more mobile and interconnected than any point in human history and, as a result, we have seen historic demographic shifts and movement of peoples, especially in the Western world. This socio-political trend has become highly charged with emotional and ethical accusations such that those who stand opposed to the current levels of migration are being systematically labelled ‘hateful,’ ‘far-right,’ or ‘bigoted.’ Meanwhile, we are repeatedly told, in what has become trite rationale for unmitigated mass-migration, that ‘love has no borders,’ or indeed—as the Archbishop of Canterbury argued in an Easter Sunday address—that government policies to deter and remove illegal migrants cannot stand the judgement of God.
