Best Answer

The amount given to asylum seekers is less than 1% of what is spent on the NHS each year. Individual asylum seekers receive around 70% (£38.96 per week) of income support. They are not entitled to many of the benefits others rely upon, such as disability living allowance. Refugees are entitled to the same level of benefits as UK citizens, since they have proven their right to stay here. However, most of them want to work, and many of them do.

Does French Government stop taking asylum application from Bangladeshi Citizens?

Yes. Bangladesh has been added on Dec. 2, 2011, on the POS list (Safe Country of Origin). This is the official roster of states "watchful of the principles of freedom, democraty and justice, and of human rights". People originating from these countries are automatically excluded from the normal circuit of the asylum application, and they are refused the temporary permit which is usually granted to asylum seekers. They are also refused access to the asylum seekers shelter. The applications are anyway forwarded to the ruling body, but are fast-tracked in a special procedure lasting last than 2 weeks. The fast-track procedure is designed for countries abusing asylum application. Bangladesh has been clearly placed in that category by the Ministry of Interior and that will result of the rejection of nearly all of the dossiers. In addition, any illegal migrant coming from a POS country is much more likely to be sent back to his home country.

Why has Christmas Island been in the news?

Christmas Island is where they hold asylum seekers, particularly illegal immigrants being brought to Australia's shores by people-smugglers. Because the whole concept of people-smuggling is a particularly controversial one, and an issue that has become out of hand since the ALP returned to power in Australia, Christmas Island tends to be the main focus of news items on overcrowded detention centres, even though it is not Australia's only detention centre. Christmas Island featured strongly in the media in mid-December 2010. It was the start of the cyclone season in the Indian Ocean, and a boatload of asylum seekers, tossed about by enormous seas, crashed off rocky cliffs near the island's only safe harbour, killing at least thirty people. There was much discussion in the news about whether the government should allow in all asylum seekers, in the vain hope that this would reduce the numbers of those attempting to make the journey illegally, or taking a harder line like the Howard government did, sending the illegal immigrants to Nauru for processing. This action reduced the number of asylum seekers seeking illegal passage to Australia, so it is argued that a harder line would stop this sort of tragedy.
