As you know, the issue of illegal migration in Europe has reached a kind of boiling point.

It has been partly political, partly ethical, moral, partly human rights issues, which means that subsequent EU leaders have rejected the idea of processing illegal migrants offshore.

But we've hit that wall now, John, and it was voted in the EU, 389 to 206 votes.

So it got through pretty easily.

They will now be taking illegal migrants from France, Spain, Italy, Germany, not yet the UK, of course, and they'll be processing them offshore.

And it's interesting that you make the comparison with President Trump, because I think there has been a sense of inspiration there.

that you've looked across.

We are here in the EU.

I'm actually at home in London today.

I normally talk to you from DC, but here in Europe, we're looking across at America now and deciding that we can't wait any longer.

There are hundreds of thousands, millions, some would say every year.

The numbers are extremely inexact.

And it's not just people coming here.

It's then when they are told to leave, only about one in five actually leaves.

So that's what's given rise to this

It is a change of direction for the EU because European voters have been starting to make their feelings heard.

There was about a million people came over to the EU during that period of time.

And it was a mass influx.

And some leaders from Europe, namely Angela Merkel in Germany, were incredibly welcoming and said, our doors are open.

Now, in the UK, we spend about £5 million a day.
