Labour's new policies for asylum seekers

[frommyheadtomyfeet]

Are rumoured to follow Denmark's, which include the seizure of valuables from people arriving here to pay their accommodation costs.

Is anyone else disgusted by this?! How will it work, they can take people's jewellery, phones etc., and leave them with nothing? What sort of message does that send?

Unemployment is rising due to Labours action. We won't be needing even low paid work soon from immigrants.

Spot on.

These Labour imbeciles forget that.

A lot of unemployed male immigrants - it could prove interesting.

France have rolled us over, numerous times.

And continue to do so.

Is this happening? Who sends funds in that direction?

Plus I thought people were scraping by on a few pounds a week, cooking in showers and paying back debt to traffickers.

Please give us a source for your second paragraph. Because many internationally respected agencies such ad the UN, the International Red Cross, MSF (Doctors without Borders), Amnesty International and the Migration Observatory at Oxford University beg to differ.

I have asked PP for sources and not got a reply.

We accept nothing like half a million refugees per year.

According to gov.uk the number of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK us 0.8% if the population, or between 500,000 and 600,000 people total.

If you look at the statistics, in some London boroughs alone, around 80% Eritraens rely on social housing and a significant proportion rely on state benefits. Often this is driven by patriarchal mindsets of women running the household and not working. Obviously these are unsustainable figures and far higher than many other minority ethnic groups. That’s just one particular demographic. There are similar statistics among other minority ethnic East African groups who are more likely to claim asylum.

There are ways to get people to say where they're from.

0.8% of the population! That's huge!

Our population has just over taken that of France for the first time. Whilst France has twice the land area.

Most social housing in London is given to immigrants.

Da! Ve haf vays of making you talk!

Some legitimate asylum seekers do not have papers. These people don’t tend to hide their origins; they were just forced to flee without papers.

I would hazard a guess that those wanting to disguise their backgrounds are over-represented amongst the troublemakers.

But if the majority are men who have left their family behind then how was the fleeing so urgent that they don’t have time to grab their papers?

I would’ve guessed 0.1% or something. Nearly 1 in 100 is massive - about half a million people at least.

More like putting them in prison until they answer the question. Why is it OK that someone rocks up demanding help and refuses to cooperate?

How many countries do you think these people have transited - every one of which knows that the buck ultimately stops with the UK, as the end destination.

We are beyond diplomatic niceties - this is a global issue (European for the purposes of this thread), and even you must have seen the footage of French gendarmes idling standing by as boats depart.

Our problem is compounded by the enemy within - those who will not consider any hardening of immigration policy.

I applaud a radical approach to this issue.

It really is bloody outrageous when you think about it. Why are we such mugs???

Actually we arent. The government is.

It does, to an extent. Dh's family come from North Nottinghamshire since time immemorial and his dna came back 78% eastern England, 15% Irish, 5% Danish and 2% North African.

Edited twice to get the percentages right

Then, if the only migrants who arrive are those seeking asylum, we'd have a falling population. And high taxes to pay for the UK born care workers etc.

To be clear (I fell I have to say this) I'm not advocating high levels of migration, open borders etc. I just think many arguments (in all areas and from all points of view) are vastly over-simplified.

For the people asking why they do not stay in France. It may be because it is absolutely impossible to get a job if you have not permission to work. Here, it is much easier.

Maybe they don’t have passports. Only 85% of Brits do. Repressive regimes will not allow people to travel freely, poor countries have lower rates of passport holders, etc

Corbyn is the ringleader of all this. I truly believe he feels such self loathing at being British and white, that he feels the complete destruction of British community via mass immigration is the only way to ‘atone for our sins’ and he would turn this country is one huge asylum centre if he could. I don’t even think he would have an immigration policy.

His ‘allies’ in the Independent Alliance are his foot soldiers who want to see the same thing and are willing to hitch their band wagon to socialism and things like LGBT equality to achieve it despite being ultra conservative underneath
