In 2007, 23,430 asylum seekers came to the UK. This data is from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
As of 2021, there are around 26 million asylum seekers globally according to UNHCR data. These are individuals who have fled their countries due to persecution, conflict, violence, or other forms of human rights violations and are seeking international protection.
Millions !... in legal fees, handouts and travel back to their country of origin when they're caught !
there are over 7000 asylum seekers waiting to come into England
Among all 44 highly industrialized nations USA has the highest number of prospective asylum seekers (83,400), total number of asylum seekers for Europe were 355,500 and Australia and New Zealand had 16,100 applications for asylum. According to Refugee Council of Australia there are a total of 9,37,000 asylum seekers in the world.
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.
