..of asylum seekers..
On the news. Are we supposed to be impressed? They are just being shuffled elsewhere, aren't they?

Agree.
Nimby.

A lot? How many please? I presume you have some figures to hand for your statement.
And how many come because they have family, friends here? As I said, there are a few reasons why they come to the UK.

If we are a civilised country why bring in uncivilised people?

UK civilians should only be shot by law enforcement if they pose a clear threat. I don't know the whole story about what happened with ICE in Minnesota, but I'd never think to obstruct any member of law enforcement.

I'm well aware that it wasn't the point of the thread, but it was evident that you needed educating. I was merely doing my civic duty.

The one thing this thread has highlighted is that most people posting on one side of the argument are articulate with good spelling and grammar. The people posting on the other side of the argument not so much. I wonder why that is.

There are ways of finding out about people in the U.K., eg references, criminal and work records can be followed up.

I spoke to an Indian man on a building site 2 months ago. He and his girlfriend moved over 2 years ago. Within 18 months she had a baby.
Is this a miracle that they had a child so quickly? Nope. They are now here for life.
Close the borders to everyone.
People wanting to support immigration and migration should pay increased taxes until this situation is stopped. People should also be allowed to opt out of paying taxes until British nationals get the same rights including housing.

It's impossible to be fair of who will commit a crime when they've had no criminal record. Same as any person.

I don't think you'll find though that many people are against deportation of any asylum seeker/immigrant who goes on to commit a horrific crime be removed. The home office changed some rules last year to make the removal quicker and easier.

Because you're rich middle class with a house not struggling to afford to live every day so you don't see it as your problem?

I don't know why you think having a baby here is significant. If the baby's parents were not legally settled in the UK at the time of its birth, the baby wouldn't be entitled to British nationality and they would have no automatic right to stay here for life. So I'm not sure what your point is.

As for paying taxes, I'm quite happy to pay more into the system, but only on the condition that not a penny of my taxes goes to supporting any racists.

I know many who come on sham student visas, never study and just go join the building trade and work illegally.

So you routinely do checks on your new neighbours, do you?

There aren’t any legal routes for asylum seekers.

But if they aren't even here in the first place, the crime doesn't need to happen and doesn't need to have a victim.

By uncivilised do you mean black? If so, own it.

Did you object to the uncivilised people from Ukraine and Hong Kong entering the UK?

Hahaha I live in one of the most run down economically deprived northern seaside towns. I may be many things, but ‘rich middle class’ I ain’t.

The only difference between me and you is I can apply critical thinking and see through the scaremongering lies told by Robinson, Farage etc.

Are they going around causing crime and ruckus here?

Shouldn't be here for it ever to have have happened
Her poor little boy wait till he grows up and realises what happened.

Children born in the UK are not an automatic British citizen because born in the UK. One of the parents must be British or settled (Indefinite leave to remain). I don't think can apply for settled status unless been here for about 5 years.

If they arrived on boats they entered illegally. Not all have the right to claim asylum. Many claims get refused.

Ooh there's that overused word again. Racists

Also they are asylum shopping 🛒 🛍️

I think you might fine a majority of crime and ruckus (great word, BTW) in any society is committed by the natives; people like your neighbours or that family three roads down.

If you have statistics that prove otherwise please feel free to post a link.

That could be said for anyone. Anyone British, anyone who comes to the UK at all, even on holiday or a student, or a working visa.

Then you get the wonderful immigrants who have helped save lives. The man on the Cambridge train last year for example.

Do you not get it? It's humans. Humans from everywhere have the ability to commit crime. If you want it just to be British criminals then nobody enters the UK at all, at any time for any reason. Unreasonable, no?

Asylum seekers aren’t here illegally. They’re here waiting for a decision on whether they can stay or not.
IMO the biggest issue is the rate at which their applications are processed. Speed it up, grant them asylum or send them home!
