You try turning up in America without documents, without a visa, without a passport; you'll be treated as very, very much illegal.

No country or continent can open its borders to all comers without fundamentally weakening itself and this is the risk that the countries of Europe run through misguided altruism.

We accept that sometimes in difficult circumstances, difficult things happen.

No one, however smart, however well-educated, however experienced, is the suppository of all wisdom.
