Immigration problem

[AWOL]

Just the usual England is soft on immigration story then. Another foreign family have targeted this country because we are far too soft. Yet another house now not available for born and bred English, yet another bunch of foreign scroungers who will phone their friends back home and say....."Get yourself over here mate. You get it all FREE!"

I dont see how anyone can defend what is going on there it is quite obvious to anyone that they are nothing but scrounging parasites living off our backs, the Asian people who live around there are mostly working people and shop owners they are not happy with the situation it does looks a bit volatile at times.

 

Being an asian myself with family living down Page Hall and having being bought up there myself I agree with what you say.

Mrsmith the figures look like there the ones that they detect or that apply for asylum that the authorities know about,I wonder how many have got here illegally and are still here when they should have gone probably working for cash in hand or being involved in exploitation and crime.

And how many of our useless political parties want to give them all an amnesty and citizenship.

[Ms Macbeth]

Why would an EU citizen seek asylum in a country that they are entitled to live in, they don’t need asylum because they can live here anyway.

 

Britain tops EU asylum seekers' list

 

Britain granted asylum to more people than any other European Union (EU) country last year, official figures show.

They may be seeking asylum because as gypsies they are persecuted in their home country. Asylum seekers get some level of support whilst their case is being investigated. As ordinary EU migrants, they'd get nothing if they don't work. Contrary to some people's belief, a European national can't just arrive in the UK and claim benefits.

 

This is from the Shelter website:http://england.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/homelessness/eu_and_eea_nationals/eligibility_for_housing_and_benefits#0

 

All EEA/EU nationals have an automatic right to live in the UK for three months after their arrival.

If you are not working during these three months, you will not be eligible to:

• apply to go on the council's waiting list for social housing
  
• get help from the council if you become homeless
  
• claim social security benefits.

Just the usual England is soft on immigration story then.

The article refers to a family of asylum seekers, not immigrants per se. If you read the article you'll see that their claim for asylum is being processed. Asylum seekers and refugees make up a small proportion of foreigners who enter this country every year and the rules relating to those who are coming to live here are different from those applicable to refugees.

Another foreign family have targeted this country because we are far too soft.

..and if their claim for asylum is ultimately rejected they'll have no further entitlement to live here in receipt of benefits.

Yet another house now not available for born and bred English,

What group of people are you referring to?

yet another bunch of foreign scroungers who will phone their friends back home and say....."Get yourself over here mate. You get it all FREE!"

That would be particularly poor advice if they have any long term ambitions to remain here.

 

Here's an extract from a piece on the Institute for Race Relations website, it makes interesting reading, especially for those who confuse immigrants with asylum seekers, believe the latter come here in their millions and all immigrants are 'foreign scroungers'.

 

"ASYLUM APPLICATIONS

 

About 80 per cent of the world’s asylum seekers live in countries neighbouring the ones they have fled. About 2 per cent of the world’s refugee population live in the UK.

 

The number of people seeking asylum in the UK peaked in the early 2000s with 84,130 applications (excluding dependants) in 2003. It has remained much lower since this point. In 2010, 17,990 people applied for asylum in the UK.

 

THE ASYLUM PROCESS

 

The UK asylum system is anything but the ‘soft touch’ the media often portray.

In the second quarter of 2011, 4,253 initial decisions were made on asylum claims and 70 per cent were refused.

27 per cent of asylum appeals were accepted in this same time period, indicating that in these cases the individuals in question were wrongly refused protection when their asylum claims were initially determined."

Yes they can and do.

Claiming benefits in Europe

You may be able to get benefits and other financial support if any of the following apply:

 

you've lived, worked or studied (a recognised career qualification) in an EEA country

 

370,000 migrants on the dole

More than 370,000 migrants who were admitted to Britain to work, study or go on holiday are now claiming out-of-work benefits, according to official figures compiled for the first time.

This is interesting.

 

Unemployed Britons can now afford to live the high life, getting beer for 35p and a slap-up meal for less than £6 ... but they have to move to Bulgaria.

 

A ruling in the Balkan state has forced authorities to pay EU nationals out of work in the country the same benefit rate they would get at home.

 

It means Britons would receive £230 a month, which is more than the £140 -a-month average wage in Bulgaria, and nearly four times as much as the £60 a month that the average jobless person gets.
