Asylum seekers come here if they are in danger or fear for their life in their own country. That's what asylum means, not just coming to find work. So I wouldn't say we should stop that. Illegal immigration will never stop, it is illegal and something the government has no control over. It pisses me off but it will never stop. I don't agree with all the legal eastern European workers coming here. They are allowed to work for £3/hour or whatever it is and UK companies employ them, instead of us, as cheap labour. There are hardly any jobs where I live and hundreds of Polish people are getting the few jobs that are available. The government should ban any business from allowing someone to work at such a low wage. My boyfriend has to travel miles out of town just to get to work. I sold my house and it was let out to some Polish people. The bedrooms were tiny so they have converted the living room into an extra bedroom. There are 8 of them crammed in that house. I know this because a friend went to one of their parties. They are all really friendly and I don't blame them, I blame the government for allowing them to work at that rate of pay.
Yeah thinpin! lol, I just read her answer, so pissed off that she went and nicked some spaniards job! Aren't all the resorts on Spain just like a sunny version of Blackppool? All the English pubs etc, lol. Perhaps the Spanish don't want their country to turn into England either.
Edit again! lol, There is a genuine problem with Polish immigrants working at a low wage and I don't think everybody has realised this yet. British people do crappy jobs too, well people where I live do! We are not all above ourselves. My bf does 12 hour night shifts in a factory, my mother does nights cleaning other peoples arses too, I work on a checkout which isn't exactly a dream career. When everybody talks about these types of jobs being below us, then people will stop doing them. We have no choice but to work these crap jobs because they are the only jobs that exsist here. Just go to some working class towns and understand Polish people taking our jobs is UNFAIR. What about people in their 50's who are not educated enough to get a better paid job and then there being no low skilled jobs available to them, what are they going to do? |

The Poles and the other Eastern Europeans whose home countries are full members of the EU are allowed to come and work here, just as we are allowed to go and work there. Bulgarians and Romanians are not allowed to come here freely yet.
Bear in mind that this country, the UK, needs migrant workers to do all the filthy and low-paid jobs which we British are too lazy to do ourselves.
Personally I'd far rather get a Pole to repair my car or build my extension than some stinking fat yob of an Englishman who's only ambition is to rip me off. |

Do you feel the same about the Poles who settled here after the war? The ones that had served with the British Army and couldnt go back to their own country cos a big chunk of it was given to the Russians by Churchill, presumably as a big thank you for finally coming over to our side.
And the Portuguese who were imported in a job lot in the 80s by the government to do jobs that the British wouldnt do?
Or the Spanish nurses who were invited over when lots of British trained nurses went abroad for more money or gave up cos of the poor pay?
Or the West Indians that the government invited in the 50s cos we were short of men, what with a lot of them dying in the war?
And are you as vehemently opposed to Brits emigrating to better themselves. Like those who retire to sunny Spain or California and form little ex pat groups and never try to integrate themselves into the community. |

I was so pissed off with the situation, so three years ago I left the U.K. and now live in Spain. I don't think the asylum seekers and illegal immigrants will ever stop going to the U.K. Would you if you were given all the free handouts and told what you are entitled to claim. I think the U.K. is one big JOKE and the rest of the EU is laughing at them. The U.K. needs a big wake up call before it's too late ! ! ! ! ! |

Same problem as we have in the US. Hopefully your country actually takes this seriously and doesn't turn out like ours is. |

ha ha!! totally agree i'm afraid, it's gettin completely out of hand, and guess what?!!! romania and bulgaria joined the EU today, so i wonder how many more thousands are gonna come flocking over this year? i wonder if any other european countries seem to be suffering from the same problem? do they get sick of it? trying to see it from all points of view, but it gets kinda difficult when the you hardly ever seem to hear people havin conversations in english anymore.....sorry if this may offend anyone.......!! |

Yes. We should embark on an exchange program - one illegal immigrant for one asbo, hoodie, drug dealer, rapist, murderer, paedaphile, thief and beggar. |

We have the same problem in America. Americans who want to protect our country and close our borders are called racists. People from other countries want Americans to change the language and flag. They have more rights than me. Such a sad sad state we are all in. |

Poles are not asylum seekers - nor are they illegal immigrants. They are LEGAL immigrants who come here to look for work. If British people won't work for the wages that Poles get paid it's British people's fault, not theirs. Also if British people don't want to be pumbers or dentists it is not the Poles fault. Without immigrants there would be NO dentists in the country. When was the last time you saw a British one?
True - they come here to get a better life but if you lived in a country where you could earn £2 for being a plumber and had the opportunity to move to another country where you could earn EASILY 3 times that amount are you seriously saying that you'd say "No, I'm going to keep the rich country's race pure and not inflict myself on them" Of course not, you'd move there and earn your money. |

Now Bulgaria and Romania are in the EU - we're gonna have even more!!!!
Its outrageous!! All these asylum seekers aren't actually legally allowed to seek asylum in the UK.............as the international law (or whatever it is) states that: "if living in your own country is a danger - then you may seek asylum in the next safe country in which you go to"............has anyone realised yet that we're an island?!?!?! All these people have to go through France, Germany etc etc before they get here!!!! |

when none of these countries have any population left and they're all resident here i would imagine. perhaps taking a leaf from the second world war classic the great escape, illegals travelling in the back of vans/trucks etc should pull over in the countryside so the occupants can "stretch their legs". then suddenly the tarpaulin is pulled off the back of a pickup truck in front.............and well you know the rest. |

the ones in our area have taken jobs that are poorly paid and uk born people just dont want to do, I think they are doing us a service if there was a great shortage of jobs for uk born people it might be different but thats not the case at the moment |

well it's not going to stop today that's for sure. Romania and Bulgaria are now E.U members as of today and Britain is expecting about 55,000 (possibly double) people from these countries over the next 12 months. |

I agree with you 100%, this country is already going that way and it is really sad. just think what england will be like in 10 years time!! |

It would seem one of your answers JillPinkey has moved to Spain. Is`nt she doing to the Spanish people what the East Europeans are doing here in the UK. Looking for a better standard of living.Whilst I would ship them all back on the next boat I think its a little hypocritical. |

Asylum seekers are here fleeing persecution in their own countries; do you really need to persecute them here too?
You have as much right to go and live in another EU country as EU nationals have to come here, so why don't you give them a taste of their own medicine by going to live in Poland.
(I don't mean it; Poland has done nothing to warrant such treatment) |

i am getting fed up with it.
there was an asian girl agruing that she only got the job because she was asian.
its true she said her friend was more experienced and had the qualifications but she got the job purely on her skin colour.
im sure thats one of the reasons why i dont get the jobs i apply for. |

The Poles fought with us against the Nazis, surely we owe them a debt of gratitude. By the way, have you ever been to these countries? Do you have first hand experience? |

If these people are prepared to do work in this country that the current inhabitants are too lazy or too picky to do then good luck to them - if they want to work then they have money to spend in our shops, so helping our economy. Why not try and get to know some immigrants, if you do you will find that they are ordinary people, just like us, trying to make a life for themselves, rather than sit on their backsides waiting for government hand-outs like so many Brits do. |

I agree with you, one a minute has been mentioned,and that is just the legal ones. |

Never a truer word spoken!!!
BUT, it will NEVER stop until the people of this country kick all the PC Anorak wearing do good half wits out of office and vote someone with a little bit of backbone into office that will say....F*** Off back to your own country! |

It isn't going to stop! Many more countries are set to join the EU,so mass immigration will continue. This Labour Government does nothing to stem the flow of illegals, or asylum.While our Government continues to dish out benefits and "freebies", people will come for their share!! Britain is a soft touch!!It will only end when we have a Government that is strong enough to stand up to the EU and say enough is enough!!! |

I''m pissed off because my daughter is in a desperate situation (no fault of her own) and cannot get housed while I see lots of immigrants being housed within days from the emergency half way house next door to me. One of my neighbours now has her 4 children living with her because her ex husband suddenly died of heart attack. She is in a 2 bedroom flat and after a year of living like this is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The council put a portugese family with 1 child into a 3 bedroom bungalow after being in the uk for only 1 week. What makes it even worse is that neither of them work, it's all so unfare. Before anyone accuses me of being racist I am not, my daughter in la is Chinese and I am part Italian. It's our government that needs to get a grip of the situation . |
