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.

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.

Do asylum seekers always migrate to another country illegally?

A person seeking asylum does so due to persecution in their own country of origin. If that persecutor is the ruling faction or government of that country then it is highly unlikely that they will allow a legal request to a neighbouring country to asylum. This forces persecuted people to illegally enter a neighbouring country at which point they should seek asylum as per the rules of refugee. However, due to the purposely loose wording of the rules and agreements of asylum, they are frequently flouted by economic migrants to the detrement of genuine refugees and asylum seekers.


What are synonyms of refugee?

A refugee can be referred to as an asylum seekertoo. For many obvious reasons there is in fact no apparent difference of treatment between refugees and asylum seekers. Refugees are victims of persecution who have been recognised as fitting the definition of a refugee contained in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. For some of the world's refugee population it is either impractical or impossible to go first to a neighbouring country and then to seek resettlement from there. This could be because the neighbouring countries are not signatories to the international laws that would ensure their protection in these countries. In these cases, individuals may choose to try to go directly to a country, such as Australia or the UK, where they can seek protection. Such people are called asylum seekers.
