Asylum seekers?

phooey

The fact that so many travel through many safe countries in europe to get to us shows that they're bogus and just want to claim our benefits.
Otherwise why not stop in the first safe country you come to.

I donâ€™t have any obvious reasons to like them or dislike them, the problem I do have with any people coming into England is:

They come here with no intentions of going back
They (well some of them) get all the hand outs going
They donâ€™t bother getting work
They get free housing, rent, council tax, health care, education etc

What do we get out of it? Nothing but a housing shortage, no hospital beds, poor education for our kids I could go on all day.

Most Asylum seekers are not asylum seekers, they are just using it as an excuse to get in the country and there are far too many of them now.
I prefer to call them illegal imigrants because even the ones who have passed and been allowed to stay probably lied through their teeth.

We should close the borders in the Uk now and start deporting on mass everyone illegal we find, there should be raids on companies and housing estates like there are for drugs to find these people.

I have no problem with our country giving sanctuary to people who are in serious and genuine danger however, when that danger has passed they should be sent back to the country from where they originated.

NOT welcome to their own countries

TOO MANY!

Well, said Alberto

We should find a place for genuine asylum seekers but there are some who take thep*ss.

Dry Dreamer

Well since you ask...most of them are freeloading scum who by political ineptitude are costing us hundred's of million's a year

honey

Far too many, there are going to be no jobs for us because of them and the fact that the people who are pensioners are working WELL past retirement age, how are the youngsters supposed to get a job.

How many 'asylum seekers' who escaped their countries for fear of 'persecution and death' are now in British jails for Rape and Murder!!!! Is it because they have done it before? and the 'persecution and death' they are running away from would actually have been justice in their country instead of the pityful sentences our courts give out! Send them home to face their fate!!!!

If your looking for an asylum , our local mental hospital
recently closed down ,

Nice to hear people referring to them as asylum seekers and not illegal immigrants.
There are many asylum seekers who have no political, racial, religious or ethnic reasons for leaving their native country. However, those who have genuine reasons should be given a fair hearing.
One of the biggest problems concerns economic refugees. If, because of the politics of the home country, a particular group can no longer support himself and his family, is he an economic refugee or a political refugee? There is no straight answer.

We are shut.not open,full,our island is sinking with them.

Boring

i think anyone who is so desperate to leave their country that they'll travel across the world to a place where so many revile them and the govt is complicit in exploiting their vulnerability must really need help. i think we should admit them and allow them to work (at the moment they have to wait until asylum is given) immediately.

Are you from the US or Britain? Regardless, I also think too many claim asylum in a fraudulent way, these days. For people who are TRULY refugees, I am in agreement with helping them. However, I think their stories need to be thoroughly checked out BEFORE they are granted refugee status and I think it needs to be on a basis of "their lives are literally in danger in their home countries" due to reasons other than economics or their involvement in criminal activities that have lead to their lives being in danger.

send them home and deport, ban all asylum seeker's
THIEVES!!!!!

Unfortunately these days if anyone makes a complaint against asylum seekers they are instantly branded rascist, which is not often the case. I live in Devon and have done since 1996 - back then, if you saw a person of ethnic persuasion it was a little bit of a novelty. 10 years later the ethnic population has exploded and sadly this has caused some deal of trouble - there have been a lot of the Eastern European males (20's to 30's) deliberately targetting young girls and I'm often talking girls wearing school uniforms, exchanging phone numbers, chatting them up in the town centre and so on and so forth. This can be witrnessed on a daily basis in the town and is not based on conjecture. There has been a sharp increase of young (and very young) single mothers pushing prams around the city centre with children, obviously fathered by foreign men - again a basis of fact as two friends of ours are midwives. There have been incidencies of gangs of the same persuasion assaulting and mugging people of a night time. Now I'm not saying that all asylum seekers are theives, muggers or criminals however this is now how they are being perceived. A guy I work with had his house valued at Â£210,000 almost two years ago - since then he has had asylum seekers move in both sides and up and down the street, last month he decided to put his house up for sale to recoup the equity in his property only to be told that his house was now worth Â£170,000 owing to the decline and trouble in the area. Obviously, he is chuffed to bits. Recently, my girlfriend and I returned to Kent and visited the seaside resort of Margate, we were horrified not only to find that we were in the minority but also because we were threatened on two seperate occasions by gangs of youths, again not of local descent. This was reported to the Police who admitted, 'Yep that's pretty standard, stay off the streets after dusk because the asylum seekers are mugging and assaulting passers-by and there are too many of them to deal with.' One thing I noticed in town a few weeks ago were a group of Neo-Nazi skinheads passing round flyers with rascist comments calling for a rally of the people in the city to oust these immigrants - we live in Devon for Christ's sake, you could almost expect this kind of thing in London or the Midlands, but Devon? Unfortunately the problem country-wide has got so bad that many of us are contemplating leaving our own country and emigrating ourselves! Whilst I do sympathise with the people that are forced to flee from war / famine / dictators / genocide etc, I do believe it has gone too far I'm afraid and now our country is suffering for it.

just dont let them into this country if they are on any boat coming here bloody sink the boat...............

Asylum seekers are also a big problem. You will never know which one is real.

Stephen

Close the Doors, start working through the Back log and reinstate our Border controls.

Ben N

They should f*ck off out of the Country.

jbc

far too many of them, i haven't a problem with genuine cases but it is now out of control with people landing here for a better life, taking all the benefits and putting nothing in, and the people of great britain just get taxed more and more and get less and less out of the system

SMABZ1

Genuine cases should be welcome

but how do we assess who is genuine?

I think they should also be able to speak English or at first opportunity learn!! so as to contribute to the country

The problem is opening all our borders to all the NEW europeans you see them already queing outside the embassies in Romania its time to close this loophole, Then when they arrive they give them jobs in Immigration, I was in Manchester Airport arriving back on a flight from ASIA with people who could not speak a word of english with BRITISH passports, found out their relations who were in our country had posted their passports back to Pakistan and they were coming here on them, these were caught but how many of them get in by this method. Think i will run for prime minister i will send the lot back, sod the curries and all this foreign kebab ****, Eat british food and make these go back penniless, WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK HOW IT WAS

enigma_variation

seeing as we are creating a lot of refugees through our illigal wars in iraq and afghanistan, the least we can do is offer shelter to the civillians whom we displace.

we have pleanty of room and more than enough money to look after them (although the nazis will disagree im sure)
