Migrants get up to £2000 on bankcard after prison sentences

You are posting absolute rubbish. Where do you think these people live? Where do you suppose their children go to school? Who feeds them? Who do you think pays for everything? The fairies?

You are dangerously out of your depth, and I can’t imagine you are British or even an adult. You seem to have no idea how this country works.

I did say angel care - emergency depts.
Soup kitchens well their premis is helping all but food banks definitely nearly all need a referral from somewhere, that you’ll not get as you can’t fully access the services required to do so without documentation.
Yes, unfortunately I do share these isles with you.

1. Migrants make a massive contribution to the UK economy. We would all be poorer without them.
2. Of course there will be a minority of them that are criminals
3. But ripping up all our laws and rights to get rid of them threatens everyone because if you do it for one group, it is a lot easier to do it for another

I despair at the sheer lack of education and understanding on this thread. Bloody hell. Do these people actually vote?! No wonder we are in the shit.

Yes it is billions on hotels, but actually it is a fact that only 0.3% of their public purse/spending that goes on asylum. This wouldn’t make so much difference after all would it when you consider the many BILLIONS that are used in other areas.
But like the £350 million a week from Brexit to the NHS is the reality.

We do not turn people away at our emergency departments or soup kitchens. Do you even live here???

But they are convicted criminals. There has already been a judge and jury that's the whole point.

They don’t have access to healthcare (except angel potentially) nor food banks, or anything. You need referrals, or proof of LTR for any of these things.
I’m not advocating the black market at all but you can be assured they’re forced to rely on their own resources.

The government are paying out BILLIONS to economic migrants what on earth are you talking about? Of course that money could be better spent on hospitals and social care.

Yes the 0.3% spent on asylum seekers by the government- it’s going to turn us into Utopia!
it’s local councils who deal with homelessness, do use hotels. Some homeless have problems that can’t be solved. Otherwise it’s the housing market driven to ridiculous prices by our economic/sell off social housing policies over the years. It’s definitely not caused by migrants.

That’s not entirely true is it. Sadly they will be living in the black market. They will still have access to hostels, hospitals, food banks and all kinds of services. I am realy amazed that anyone can see any of this as a positive. It’s an absolute unfolding crisis of the magnitude some people on here seem to be missing.

Agreed. They must have documents or the receiving country wouldn’t take them - they mainly require proof of citizenship to accept returns. As would the U.K. before you worry.

Bios are done on landing/at asylum claim. If no bios are done that means they didn’t claim asylum, aren’t here legally and are getting zilch from the taxpayer

Who is ditching their documents?
The ones mentioned on this thread who are being deported have documents.

It's 'borders', not 'boarders'.

HTH.

@keeptalkinghappytalk hello, you mentioned that the money could partially go to help our homeless, how would you propose that?

That used to be my line about labour ,...give them a chance..
I've lost all faith in them .
Not that I voted for them or had much faith to start with ..
One of the things that massively angers me ,is the current government using the police force to do their dirty work ,arresting people for Facebook posts rather than catching criminals
Knife crime ,rape ,assaults ,..I want to police to be focused on these ,and making our streets safer..not bloody monitoring the sodding internet

The thought of Reform getting in makes me feel physically sick tbh.
Dont believe every every single thing you hear or read in the press - especially run by people like Murdoch or Rothermere who have vested interests of their own in a right wing government. Labour were left a shitshow and a terrible backlog of migrants to process - at least things are moving which is more than the Tories did. Give them a chance..

OP some of the responses here off the loony lefts are shocking, no wonder the country is in such a shitty state. Some people are absolutely clueless.

It genuinely makes me so angry that the government are spending money left right and centre on people that have never had any legal rights to be here whilst our own people are living hand to mouth, our veterans are freezing to death on the streets, our NHS is crumbling and barely fit for purpose, some NHS referrals such as rheumatology by me has a year and a half wait list. Our police are so busy protecting hotels and arresting people over social media posts that they are no longer dealing with real crime, our schools are full to the brim. Money should be spent at home on our own, improving the lives of people who've worked and paid into the system.

Blows my mind that people are outraged by people putting flags up to send a message to the government but aren't outraged at the mess the country is in and how bloody awful our government are treating their own people.

The majority of immigrants who came here legally and have worked hard, built good lives for themselves and contributed massively to society now want to return to their own countries due to the mess of the country, so what will we be left with? It's a scary thought!!

Yeah ..untill they use that money to come back on a boat ..
Who knows at what point they get finger printed when getting of the boat ,if at all knowing this government..it's probably a violation of their human rights to be finger printed on arrival

Tbh 2k to get a predator to fuck off vs them fighting deportation and then getting leave to remain because our system is a joke seems fine to me. It’s a good deal for us.

If coming illegally to the U.K. means you get to work on the black market then £2K I can see more immigrants coming not less it’s a great incentive

Gov’t deal with asylum seekers, local councils with homeless. Councils do use hotels for the homeless. There are also hostels for the longer term homeless. These longer term homeless often have issues that mean they break the requirements of their hotel/hostel eg/ drinking/drug taking so are on the streets again.
Neither solution is perfect, but perhaps we could have compassion for both.

Nonsense. Links to the evidence
