Utterly pointless engaging or even attempting to educate something as belligerently and proudly ignorant as that. |  |

You really do think that all of the āboat peopleā coming here escaping persecution in their own countries are just here for the benefits?
Have word with yourself you deplorable human being!
I hope that at no point in what is left in yours or your families lives that you never have cause to use a hospital, particularly A&E, youāll have your eyes opened to just how much this country relies on migration!
Put yourself in the shoes of some of these people who are coming here and ask yourself why they might actually want to flee war and persecution, and then risk their own lives to cross the busiest shipping channel in the world to get something of a respectable life! |  |

do you think it is possible to support genuine refugees and be in favour of migrants coming to work in the nhs while still be critical of people arriving illegally who are not genuine refugees and thinking that migration other than for work reasons has been too high in recent years?
referring to people who have different views to you as "deplorable human beings" is very unpleasant. |  |

At risk of being heavily downvoted, but there is a big difference between illegal migration such as the channel crossings, and legal migration where people come to work and give a service to the country, pay taxes etc etc;
Those that work in the NHS and other public services are overwhelmingly not illegal migrants who have come over the channel, they're legal migrants with paperwork doing it the legal way... I actually think the majority have absolutely no issue with this and if people want to come here to work and integrate into society, then fair play to them.
The problem people have is with illegal migration. How can you just say everyone coming is fleeing war and persecution? The point is that we don't know that, and if they went through the legal refugee channels, that could be verified.
Instead, we're letting in a lot of undocumented (mainly men) migrants who on the whole aren't going to contribute to society and in some cases from what we've already seen, actually can be a danger. Someone may correct me but I don't see one country on earth that just lets people in undocumented and with no knowledge of who they are, where they're from, what their past might be, any criminal activity etc; it's crazy really, completely unsustainable and in some extreme cases, incredibly dangerous.
In an ideal world, everyone would just pass from country to country freely, but that completely ignores how societies work, values and beliefs that countries are built on and that is what is causing friction amongst the British public. Feel free to call me a racist idiot or whatever but just trying to put across an alternative view. |  | | |

Those who claim asylum having crossed the channel on a small boat are not "illegal" until such time as their claim has been rejected, yet they remain in the country. |  | | |

I wouldn't say this is an alternative view, it's the view the likes of Farage and the right wing media have been peddling for years and that many people swallow wholesale.
You say "if they came through the legal refugee channels" which channels are you talking about? Unless they're from a very small handful of countries where we do have schemes in place for refugees, there aren't safe legal routes for asylum seekers to come here. Which is why they take such risks to come here by other methods. [Post edited 17 Nov 14:51]

The majority of those arriving by small boats are granted asylum. Acceptance rates as of 2024 was 63% of those arriving by small boats were granted asylum Although plenty still waiting on a decision to be made because of backlogs) . The nationalities with the most arrivals are: Afghanistan (31% accepted), Syria (99% accepted), Iran (41%) Vietnam (10%), Eritrea (86%) and Sudan (99%). Of them, 3 Countries which have ongoing civil wars and persecution and are up to 99% accepted, 2 countries with extremely repressive regimes that are middling and then the obvious outlier Vietnam where the vast majority of applicants are rejected.
Saying literally all Channel crossings are legitimate asylum seekers would false because like any system, there will be people looking to cheat or game it (in the Tory years, Albanians came in large numbers but only 2% got asylum). However I don't think anyone would take such a maximalist stance.
However it also has to be acknowledged that the majority of those crossing the channel ARE legitimately fleeing war and persecution. The point of the assessing the Asylum claims is so that the minority of applicants who are not genuine can be returned. |  | | |
