I would love to see the figures how many actually take advantage of the 'opportunity' and intergrate into the system, working a 9-5 . I don't see many making it work who come over illegally on a dingy. 94% of people making small boat crossings claim asylum, 97% of those are granted. I'd be confident in saying the vast majority of those people are trying to make it work and want to contribute to our society. I doubt you risk your life if you don't want to make it work.

If people want to work then give it a try. We’ve got a plethora of jobs available at all skill levels. Everyone’s a winner. What is there to lose? Far too sensible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIve them the 'opportunity', more will come over dangerously funding the criminals, if they are not already here. As I said, it's idealistic to think these guys will intergrate into a 9-5, most hardly have any cultured skills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted earlier, we can, and the government has deliberately chosen not to. This is a manufactured problem to rile people up.

Think i'll agree to disagree that 10k asylum seekers coming over the channel every month in dingys is a good thing, an they are only here to find work and intergrate into our communites. I'll leave it there, people can carry on living in there idealistic worlds as long as they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
