You seem to be suggesting that migrants pose a threat to us and we should join you in fearing them.
I'm not at all clear what you think those who have spend thousands of euros in the hope of getting to the UK and being allowed to settle here would gain by attacking British citizens en route.
Whilst I admit the scenario Tomahawk refers to is highly unlikely, to dismiss it out of hand as you have is somewhat blinkered.
The incidences of migrants threatening lorry drivers are not uncommon, a quick Google brings up many examples. In the interest of balance I wont link to any of the more right wing news agency sites (apologies to the Mail, Express or Telegraph readers) I've tried to use as impartial examples as possible...
The Guardian from 2016:
'It was petrifying': lorry driver attacked near Calais feared for his life
Trans.info (transport and logistics website) from May 2021
Images show more HGVs attacked in Calais as trucker admits he feared for his life
and Wikipedia
Migrants around Calais - Wikipedia
In short, yes people who may have spent thousands trying to secure passage to the UK could possibly turn to violence to ensure their thousands spent are not lost in a failed attempt.
None of the above necessarily reflects my personal opinion of the plight of migrants, I simply prefer to see balanced views.
