Why Socialists Don't See Illegal Immigration as a Threat to National Security and Sovereignty

This evening I had one of those rare (for me) forehead-slapping why-didn't-I-think-of-this-before? moments.

The TV news channel, World Focus aired a report from Greece about the number of immigrants from Afghanistan (mostly young men) that are illegally entering the country as a way to get into Europe, and then ultimately to Britain.

This is nothing new for the Brits. For a decade or more, the British government, first under Prime Minister Tony Blair, and now under Gordon Brown, has ignored the flood of illegals from north Africa, middle eastern countries, and elsewhere and simply labeled them as asylum seekers.

Watching this similar situation in Greece, it occurred to me that socialists like Blair, Brown and most of the ruling Labour party that has been in power in Britain since 1997, have an agenda to make their socialist policies global. And if that's the case, why would they care where anyone of any nationality lives?

As a legal immigrant myself, I sympathize with individuals who do whatever they have to in order to live in a country other than the one in which they were born. But sympathizing with an individual's plight doesn't make their actions right or lawful. I believe in the rule of law, and the importance of each nation's individual sovereignty.

In Blair, Brown, and other socialist politician's vision, there would only be two classes: The socialist ruling class, and the rest of us. No national governments or national borders and boundaries. So what would it matter to them where a person was born and where they decided to live?
