Why are americans claiming asylum in the uk if america is so great?

Villain

The UK has a better social, health, and education system.

If I ever left America, the UK is the place to go.

The UK is a great place, and is superior in many ways.

We're just sending you our hippie liberal Hollywood types. We don't want them anymore.

Anyone who wants out of the USA should feel free to go - good riddance to them! They are probably criminals. Why would they have claim "asylum" if the could legally leave? That is ridiculous.

Leogirl0804

Asylum from what? They have it made over here. Perhaps its those damn liberals that are finally keeping their word and leaving. All's fair. You sent all your criminals here in the beginning and now we are just returning the favor by sending the liberals. I have to warn you though, we got the better deal.

not coming back

hope that is true because that means our cowards are leaving the states.

If by better health care you mean higher taxes, and inadequate doctors who have to treat anyone who presents for any reason.... ya, asylum tin the UK would be the place, and please leave the US... don't let the door hit you in the backside on the way out....

If that's true, be prepared for the Latino population. They are a gift from the U.S.

America is great, you silly sod. You guys are just getting our backwash.

Just people we want to get rid of.
Because of socialism, Britain will be a Third World Nation in 20 years.
A Banana Republic without many bananas.

You should't badmouth the USA. We might not save you, the next time you come begging.

probably the same damn reason your ancestors sent them over here. oh by the way we are the greatest country.

kingstubborn

I guess to take advantage of that great educational system, as evidenced by your spelling and gramamr in the post.

WOW! Free money from the UK government! Free food! Free House!
How can i apply for asylum in the UK?

Mr Toooo Sexy

Maybe they are dentists and they want to help youse guys out.

Preacher

They probably have problems with the law or they have creditors after them.

Are you nuts. You have to be, there are more UK in the USA than Americans in the UK. If the Americans go there is because they have family connections but not to get a better life. If they go they are not poor trying to get any benefits from the government. USA is not a third world country or you haven't notice. I think that your question is loaded.

Well didn't Europe empty their jails to populate America? That is what my history has told me. We are just returning the favor:)

I personally don't think America or any other country is "better" than the other. They all have problems in one way or another. So I guess it's British complaining about American immigrants and Americans complaining about Mexican immigrants. And I'm sure someone else is complaining about another culture coming into their country.

With today's speedy and easy ways to travel that is just something you can't do anything about.

"Can't we all just get along?"

turboweegie

It must be because of the exquisite and sublime English cuisine.

kysteelgirl

They are probably setting themselves up to write a book....if we can get rid of the illegals the USA will still be the grestest country in our universe.....of we don't get rid of the illegals..it remains to be seen what the middle-class will put up with!

Yukaza

Could I see your facts to back up your post please?
I can say anything I want but to be believed one should provide a link with facts and figures.

I love my country and would never leave the USA for any reason on a permanent level.Don't get me wrong I like the UK and I like its people but my home is the USA and I
am here to stay.

Latin Techie

You lot are all getting it wrong, its because the US dollar is now nearly worth 2 dollars to 1 Pound sterling!

Crazybird

Just read an article about it and put the link below.
The only thing I can say is America didn't SEND them there. They gave their reasons in the articles. It's a real shame. Outright abuse of the system. Part of me would like to send them to Somalia to experience some real "discrimination" and they wouldn't use the gift of asylym so easily.

dixiedarling

really? we can do that? cool.

Professor Chaos386

Okay, so the ones who are leaving are not the ones who are saying that the U.S. is the greatest country.

BTW-

Punctuate or spell check much? I thought you Brits were all about perfect grammar.

their teeth match?

eva b

Are they being granted it? Can I come?I went to Italy but I like the UK so much better....We all don't claim it is great.We have more troubles then a squirrel has nuts.But we do love our country.
