In terms of asylum, successful claims are about 10% of the UK emigration each year. We can live with that. What we can't live with is increasing our population in urban areas, with already high population density by 250,000 plus per year.

Just a few cases I have had personal experience of in education may prove quite illuminating. I was speaking to a Lebanese Muslim who came over on a holiday visa and found himself talked into claiming asylum - he has full status now. He said 'I may as well have British citizenship as I can now do what I like and claim benefits'. He was relatively well off in the Lebanon and can now do as he pleases. I also taught three African girls: they all said they were coming over just to be better off economically and they get coached by advisors as to what to say to immigration officials. They had all been refused in other European countries already. One of the three now has citizenship with one soon to follow. The other needs to wait a year or two. In their defence the whole process took 5-10 years but I guess you get my point. Red and Blue Army!
