I'm telling you 70 million people don't want to come to this island
I was referring to the 26 counties, EU citizens have a right to travel throughout the EU and are not asked questions.
Are you contending that there are not 70million people (or a lot more) who would prefer to live in Ireland than in their own country. So they would come here if they could and if other places did not welcome them.
You were talking about this island.
And let's talk about this island. How many people actually leave here to go and better their lives? It's ok for them to do it but if someone else dreams about doing it it's a bad thing?
I was talking about this island, but I was not trying to justify Brexiteer policies.
I didn't say that it was a bad thing for these people, I said it was a bad thing for us.
How is it a bad thing? We need more people of working age, which immigrants tend to be.
