Asylum seekers come from countries that are either war torn, politically challenged or have very low resorces required for easy survival.
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.
Asylum seekers and refugees move due to safety concerns such as persecution, violence, or conflict in their home country. They are often forced to flee in search of protection and a better life for themselves and their families.
Some people dislike asylum seekers and refugees because they believe that they will bring down the economy of the country that they flee to because they have no job skills and/or they dont know the language of the country that they go to. Some people dislike them because they were raised that way, bought up not to like people that are "lower" than them.
The law that allowed people escaping communism to come to the United States is the Refugee Act of 1980. This law standardized the admission process for refugees and established procedures for their resettlement. It allowed individuals fleeing communist countries to seek asylum in the US based on their fear of persecution.
Leaving one's home due to an abusive government is typically considered seeking asylum. Asylum is a form of protection granted by a country to individuals fleeing persecution or danger in their home country.
