Do you want anymore ASYLUM SEEKERS ????

Question

Do you think we need anymore more asylum seekers in the uk, should the goverment stop it now

Answer 1

Are you talking about us, US Citizens, who want to flee from our tyrannical dictator. I know many countries are now open for political asylum besides the UK.

Answer 2

No, maybe there are genuine asylum seekers but ive personally had enough. And i feel sorry for the spanish and Italians. There seems to be mass exodus from africa into europe. Throughout history europe has been doing very well for itself and its people (except a few disagreements in the first half of the 20th century) but the standard of living is a result of our ablility to provide for our people. The africans however do not have this ability, so they see what we have and they want it. Maybe they were content with their way of life but with the world becoming smaller and the global mass media they have seen glimpses of the compartive wealth that we have in europe. Its not going to get any better.

Answer 3

I think we need to be stricter about who gets what, but thats about it. I say this as a good friend of mine is an immigrant. she came here from hungary 11 years ago with her then 2 small children. Apart from her first month or so here shes not claimed a penny from the state, she has a council house but pays her rent etc, n her husband n she work extremely hard for all they have. the home office have still not said she can permanently stay.
on the other hand, a family in my block of flats are from albania, they work, claim benefits, are sending money home to their country n generally lyin n scrounging their way into thousands! theyve been given citizenship and passports! the wife hasnt even botherd to learn english..theyre the sort of people who need to be stopped.

Answer 4

The term 'Asylum Seeker' is pejorative because so many are obviously bogus. Sure they are being persecuted in their home countries, but that is because they are criminals and when they continue their criminal activities in this country they are persecuted by the police. If we deported all immigrants who have committed crimes and refused asylum to criminals then perhaps we might be a little more sympathetic.

Answer 5

Britain already accepts fewer asylum-seekers than many other countries. Some answerers are confusing migrant workers with asylum-seekers, well some just hate all foreigners no matter what.

Asylum-seekers are looking for safety first, those that can't persuade the Home Office are sent back - don't believe what you read in the tabloids!

Answer 6

I am a foreigner myself but since day one I stepped in London I worked and paid taxes, I never claimed any benefits and I am paying for all the lazy people that come in this country for a free ride. The worse I have seen is perfectly healthy people in the early twenties that prefer working part time because is more convenient, because they can get help with the rent and god knows what else. It is time to say stop to this. If you want to come here to work, then you are welcome otherwise pack your bags, I have enough of paying for you to sit at home doing nothing the all day. Enough is enough.

Answer 7

It's not a case of whether "we need them", more a case of "they need us". The only just way of stopping the passage of asylum seekers is for our government to stop sticking their fingers in those countries governmental pies.

Answer 8

What people forget is that this land is an Island, NO NO NO more immigrants full stop,they are spongers,lazy,just after a free pound,live off the state and laugh at the British run them down,and then try to blow them sky high,all immigrants are economic migrants,seeking handouts.
We British are sick to death of them, they are not welcome here at least not by the ordinary British body in the street and when I say British I mean indigenous.

Answer 9

I have a good friend who escaped from the Bosnian war with the help of the Red Cross. She lost her husband there and was in fear of her life and those of her children. Her two children are now at university and are preparing to participate fully as members of British society, paying tax and working hard to benefit others. How can you possibly say that it was wrong for her to be rescued from a dreadful and life threatening situation?

I think you are getting confused with illegal immigrants.

Answer 10

We don't need them, but if they can bring something to the economy, then let them come. It's the others, the freeloaders, that tend to flood the country, more than the genuine hard working families, & they make it look like we're a soft touch.
