| Historically, about 80% of asylum seekers are accepted as such and can get on with their new lives in the UK. There's no such thing as an 'illegal immigrants' until they've been assessed and their claim rejected. The quicker the Home Office does its job, the better, but under recent Home Secretaries it seems to intentionally not do what it's supposed to, or does it very slowly. eg Windrush scandal? 'Hostile environment'? It's these drawn out delays and frequent errors that cost the tax payer so much more than if they'd do their job properly in the first place. And having lost about 250,000 working people thanks to Brexit, we need to welcome about 6 years worth of rubber boats to make up the numbers. Maybe better, and certainly less dangerous, to send a fleet of buses over to pick them up! |
