They are mostly not children. They are mostly young men coming over who will later bring their families if successful. This is actually quite handy in a way.
The article quoted by the poster specifically metioned the cost of children.
However this distracts from the real issue which is that we should be processing applications much quicker, and ideally offer (and prefer) applications made before travel to the UK.
Indeed, this is the problem, slow processing of applications benefits nobody. not the Taxpayer - as keeping people in accommodation is expensive, nor the claimants - as they're kept in limbo for a very long time.
The main cause of this problem is due to the Conservatives allowing the cases to pile up, and refusing to engage constructively with Europe in the name of the one true Brexit.
I’m a proponent of Hans Hermann Hoppes idea of natural order. You own the land which you pay taxes on and the more tax you pay the more land you are entitled to. Tax quantity = land owned and redistribute land that way.
That sounds thoroughly chaotic, presumably land entitlements would change every tax-year? Similarly, confiscation of all those assets would make Stalin look like a moderate.
You’d have private internment facilities and deportations carried out by a corporation without red tape and a level of government oversight anlthough the corporation would own the land (the coastline) they operate by paying taxes on it.
I am not aware of any situations where having private incarceration without oversight has gone well. What exactly would be the red tape you cut, could you give us some specifics? Maybe "you can't cut people's fingers off as punishment?" or "you have to give people food?"
I can't imagine the King would be happy at having the coastline, which is part of the Royal Estate, confiscated.
UK law would always supersede international law, as our national security and stability must be of priority.
So you are advocating us becoming a pariah state? That doesn't sound like stability to me, it sounds very economically disruptive.
Declining living standards are party to do with a lack of productivity which is a difficult puzzle to solve,
Marxist-Leninist economic theory would suggest we start by rejuvenating heavy industry, with public ownership. Perhaps that would work better than trusting our future to a market full of greedy venture capitalists that don't care about Britain, but only their fund's quarterly returns?
but the other half was detailed in an IEA (Institute of Economic Affairs) report where high energy bills and over regulation is making us internationally uncompetitive.
New research from Matthew Lesh and the Institute of Economic Affairs shows how red tape has powered the cost-of-living crisis.

Despite its name, the IEA is a right-wing think tank, and not an impartial organisation.
High energy bills are also reducible to a degree in over regulation
Could you explain, in detail, exactly which regulations are causing high energy bills? How would removing them get energy bills down, and how do we ensure that the negative consequences that those laws were put in place to protect against don't return?
I thought I would read up a bit about this gentleman, having never heard of him. Here's a quote from his book "Democracy: The God that Failed", about the kinds of community that will exist in his world:
That seems fairly clear.
Seems cheery, they make the KGB and Gestapo look friendly.
It is also ironic that the same person that is advocating for serfdom, is the one arguing against parasitism. I wonder how long before the lower classes realise who the parasite really is...
I don’t agree with everything he says and I’m not a proponent of creating a natural order fundamentalist state because look what happened when Marx’s writings were put into practice almost verbatim.
Where exactly were the writings of Marx put in to place "almost verbatim"?
A shrinking population and rising GDP per capita would do wonders for the UK to alleviate the housing crisis, traffic, infrastructure stress and congestion. A shrinking population isn’t a bad thing as long as that population is working age and productive.
However, that isn't the population we find ourselves with. Our demography is skewed towards the elderly, as the economic conditions of late-stage capitalism are unfavourable to working people having lots of children.
