Don't know what "for ie" means, but basically, it's not asylum seekers getting smuggled in who are the big problem. This might be the study that I had read, reported elsewhere:
"Unauthorized immigrants are non-EU-EFTA citizens who entered the UK without permission and have an unlikely path to permanent residency. The population also includes those who may have entered lawfully but overstayed a visa. Asylum seekers waiting for a final decision in their case are included in the unauthorized immigrant population estimates. Their future status is uncertain as rejection rates are high."

It’s highly unlikely that they got here in an overcrowded inflatable dingy either 🤔
Fecking hell , let them all in.
Many refugees do seek asylum in France (and Germany, Sweden, Denmark etc...) but some of them end up here aswell. The language and family ties will be a huge factor for the ones who go that extra step.
It's an interesting aspect of our superiority complex that we think everyone is bashing the door down to get into a British wonderland.
From Parliment's official website and the Government's official website :
The number of asylum applications to the UK peaked in 2002 at 84,132. After that the number fell sharply to reach a twenty-year low point of 17,916 in 2010, before rising again to reach 35,737 in 2019. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk...fings/sn01403/
It was 37235 in 2021 https://www.gov.uk/government/statis...-protection-to
In 2020, there were around 6 asylum applications for every 10,000 people living in the UK. Across the EU27 there were 11 asylum applications for every 10,000 people. When compared with EU countries, the UK ranked 14th out of the individual countries in terms of the number of asylum applications per capita. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk...fings/sn01403/
The reason you think there's a new crisis is because certain elements of the media and Government have decided they want you to think there's a crisis
Apparently conditions in France are appalling. Admittedly it isn’t that much better here for them but it is better.
I think that citizenship should be like the transfer window, but every 5 years. Every adult is reviewed and if they don't come up to scratch then they get a free transfer or a straight swap with a Moldovan or something similar. Do you think it could work, and do you think that the UK would benefit from such a scheme?
