OK, so someone wants to know how I know that very few of them could prove they were at risk in their own country?

If they were at risk and wanted assylum, if they applied properly and were proved to be at risk, they'd be granted assylum? They manage to trek thousands of miles to get here, couldn't they trek somewhere nearer to their country of origin and seek assylum? It's a flippin' long way from Somalia to the UK and why would someone well used to "warm climes" want to come to a much colder country that they're not used to rather than heading for (for instance) South Africa or some of the Gulf states?

They don't just want assylum, they want it here or in some "attractive" country not because of reasons of safety, it's for reasons of perceived economics! Also, they don't apply for assylum properly as soon as they get here as they're supposed to, oh no, they find some sort of "exploitative" work and cost us loadsa money in rooting them out.

As to other points made about "the West" destabilising countries either by "regime change" or past Colonialism, that wasn't the topic, start your own thread?

As to some illegals making good, fine, the old saying is "The exception proves the rule" and if you want to take up that line, start your own thread?

The idea was to seek suggestions for ways to stop this idiotic migration so how about getting back to it?
