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 !

What are peoples opinions of asylum seekers in the UK?

There is deep skepticism against asylum seekers. On the one hand everyone can symphatise with genuine asylum seekers. But most people feel that this system being abused, that most asylum applicants are merely economic migrants that use the system to live in the UK when they would otherwise not qualify for an entry visa. The fact is that most asylum claims are denied because the vast majority are not able to prove their case. And when asylum is denied, they dont leave the country and work illegally in the UK (which is a privilege granted by legal residency and they dont pay into the NIS). So they go from place to place working illegally and making sure they DO NOT carry their passport or have it readily accessible where they live. In the UK, immigration is required to have the passport of the person they are trying to deport, the failed asylum seekers, knowing this rule, purposefully hide their passport so that if caught, they will be released and not deported. It is things like this that creates a negative impression of asylum seekers.

Why shouldn't asylum seekers stay in the UK?

Asylum seekers shouldn't stay in the UK because the government has to pay for their housing and their food vouchers that are worth about £35.00, that means they have to raise taxes and its not fair to tax payers, because asylum seekers don't pay taxes.Also because if the government allows them to get a job, they can steal jobs from people living in the country who rightfully deserve the job, and the people living in the UK that arent seeking asylum have less chance of finding another jobno racism intended its just for my hmwrk x(: busieThere is no such thing as a legal asylum seeker in the UK. Asylum can only be sought at the FIRST SAFE COUNTRY YOU ENTER. Once you leave that country, you are no longer considered an asylum seeker and you become an economic migrant. When you become an economic migrant, nobody has any obligation to accommodate you and you can be deported without appeal.
