Far too many in my opinion ! It is currently estimated there are over a million illegal immigrants in the UK - that's 1 in every 60 people of the population ! Now - I have no problem with Immigration - provided people come here through legitimate channels. Sneaking over here in the back of a lorry is not a legitimate way to enter our country !
Besides which - since the vast majority of illegals are from former 'eastern bloc' countries - they have travelled through at least ten other countries to get here ! The only reason they come here, is to take advantage of our welfare system - and contribute nothing to our economy !

How much do asylum seekers claim for benefits in the UK?
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.
Should asylum seekers be allowed in the UK?
ONLY if they are in imminent danger of being killed in their home country AND they bring a skill that is in short supply in the UK ! Most 'asylum seekers' come to the UK because we have a welfare system that will PAY them for coming here ! They don't come legally, through our immigration system, but choose to hide away in truck, lorries etc. Additionally - since many of them come from eastern Europe - they have travelled though many countries to get here - what's wrong with settling in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy etc etc etc... There is now a MASSIVE refugee 'camp' just outside the port of Calais in France - with TENS OF THOUSANDS of so-called 'refugees' waiting for their chance to sneak across the chanel into the UK, because the French government refuses to do ANYTHING to send these 'illegals' back to where they came from !
