Should Britain copy President Trump and impose a travel ban on dangerous nations, and deport the family members of terrorists?

An Egyptian immigrant - who was apparently in America illegally - reportedly attacked elderly Jewish people with molotov cocktails. Then Trump promised to deport him, his wife and their five kids, immediately.

We're on for 50,000 illegal Channel migrants this year. Many of them come from countries on Trump's banned list.

But look at the list of countries with the highest visa overstay rate:

Chad, Myanmar, Sudan, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Afghanistan, Congo.

Some of these people are either breaking into countries illegally, or illegally overstaying their visas. And President Trump has just banned them all.

Why can't we do the same?

And when foreign nationals commit crimes in Britain,

like Pakistani men who raped working class white girls on an industrial scale - why don't we deport them, their wives and their kids as well, assuming they have dual nationality?

Do you think Trump would let them stay in America? Why do we let them stay in Britain?
