It's not necessarily true they cannot work but many do especially the men e.g the car washes etc.
Most claimants are given financial support whilst their claims are ongoing, if they are granted they have then lawful status to reside in the UK and can take up employment or go on financial support provided like unemployed Brits would.
The failed asylum seekers may have their financial support withdrawn dependent on their circumstances (E.g kids etc).
If their application is taking longer than expected they can apply fir Permission to work.
Despite what people on here and the media tell you the Home Office are actively aware and keep and provide up to date reports in other countries and issues that any affect a reason to claim asylum for example eritranans fleeing national service are usually granted within weeks of arrival, Sudanese nationals are often granted releavtivly quick.
Your Albanians etc wont get granted as there is no genuine fear of persecution in Albania, then again most if not all the young men are entering the UK from Albania to claim asylum and the effects in ten years time of the ruthless Albanian drug cartels will be a massive issue.
Stil nobody answers the question why if your life was in "humanitarian danger" why you would cross through foreward thinking countrues like Germany,Netherands, Belguim and not to mention countries like Spain,italy, Portugal and France to try and cross a Sea to get to the UK? but hey ho.
I had a friend who did/still does work involving the claimants living in hotels as a defacto go between/social worker who were all Afgnaistan nationals who entered the UK last year, the stories she told me of the general behaviour especially the men towards women and childrenjust wow l, horrific stories on a regular basis and these men are here now permanently.
I've previously underoo agency work in the nationality department and dealt many uon many with applications from thos who were previously granted asylum who upon being granted settlement protection in the UK either provide a passport showing they've travelled back to their home country or normally their UK issued travel document which shows they travel to countries that immediately border their country of origin (and then use a national passport they obtain and enter their country of origin from their).
Having worked in numerous Home Office casework jobs (entry clearance, nationality,student tier 4 leave, tier 1 leave and asylum), the amount of immigration fraud referrals you have to make related to those trying to enter the UK or living in the UK is staggering.
The whole thing is a big expensive mess and for those tories voters who think the tories governmrnt care or act on reducinf immigration..they really don't.
