The illegal ones who are blocked at the border because they have a criminal record can simply come in via Ireland.
In other words border control is a complete waste of time, even Switzerland and Iceland don't have one.

Originally posted by meridian View PostI’ve gone the other way before. Drove from my home in Donegal, over the border to Derry, and took a flight to Dublin on my (non-EU) passport (left the EU one at home for some reason).
Got stopped at Dublin security and they threatened to put me back on a plane to Derry for not having the correct passport. They didn’t seem to understand my argument that I could then just get in my car in Derry and be back in Dublin in 3 hours with no passport control.

As opposed to having to let in every 'EU citizen'

The fun and games will start when they realise it and then try to work out how to twist or blame their way out of it or just fudge the answer.

So if you don't have control over your borders at the moment, can someone explain me why I had to wait 2 hours at Gatwick for UK Border control???? (Internal EU flight)
If having no control over the border means waiting for 2 hours to get through border control I wonder what it will mean if you do get control over your borders.
On a side note, Operation stack will probably run 24/365 with lorries parked around the entire M25 in two directions
