Over 50 Relatives of Asylum Seekers Join Them in Britain Daily

[Social Media]

 

More than 50 family members of asylum seekers are arriving in Britain every day, with Home Office figures showing that 19,154 relatives joined their loved ones in the UK over the past year. The increase, first reported by *The Sun*, highlights the rising numbers of those benefiting from family reunion policies once an asylum claim is granted.  

 

Under existing immigration laws, individuals granted asylum in the UK are entitled to bring their relatives to join them through legal and safe routes. Many of the arrivals are relatives of refugees from countries such as Syria, Sudan, Eritrea, Iran, and Afghanistan, where conflict and persecution have forced people to flee their homes.  

 

Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch UK, raised concerns about the financial impact of this process. “There are huge cost implications at play here, all paid for by the public, who are seldom kept in the picture. And it doesn’t end there,” he said. Mehmet emphasized that families reunited under these policies are eligible for housing if they have children under 18 living with them. He added, “This also includes access to benefits, schooling, medical and dental care. It’s no wonder there’s growing frustration and anger from people waiting for social housing or stuck in long NHS queues.”  

 

A Home Office spokesperson responded by reaffirming the UK’s commitment to offering protection to those in need through established legal routes. “We have a long history of providing protection through various safe and legal routes for those in need,” the spokesperson told *The Sun*.  

 

Meanwhile, separate data obtained by *The Telegraph* revealed the scale of illegal migration in London. A previously confidential report commissioned by Thames Water estimated that the city is home to as many as 585,000 illegal migrants, equivalent to one in 12 of London’s population. This figure, uncovered through environmental information laws, sheds light on the broader challenges of migration management in the UK.  

 

The increasing number of family reunifications and broader migration concerns continue to provoke debate about the financial and logistical strain on public services. While the UK has long been recognized for its support of those fleeing war and persecution, tensions remain over how best to balance humanitarian obligations with the needs of local communities.

Multiple wives receiving state benifts and housing provided must be controlled.  Recent reports indicate one in twelve  London residents are illegal immigrants. Meanwhile  Knife crime, phone thefts and shoplifting are rampant.  Starmer is not the leader to prevent this abuse. 

[rocketboy2]

One more example of how far, down the toilet the uk has gone.

Just disgraceful.

 

[Denim]

A name change is in order here.

 

The United Dimdom would fit better with the reality.

[Callmeishmael]

Do they meet the income requirements that UK citizens need to meet to bring over their foreign wives/husbands?

[impulse]

Raise your hand if you think this wasn't the plan all along.

 

Pretty soon, they'll be able to outvote the natives.  Who will then be seeking asylum in the USA.  Or Thailand, if they're skint.

 

 

 

[JonnyF]

Never saw that coming. 😄

 

No doubt the dumb bleeding heart Liberals would be screaming about their human rights if we refused them the right to "be reunited with their loved ones".  

 

The UK has messed up badly since I left. Could just be a coincidence of course... 

[mikeymike100]

They need Tom Homan, or at least a UK version of him, urgently!

[rocketboy2]

That's nice.

Well done uk governments,  present and past.

[Chomper Higgot]

So it’s not actually a case of family members joining ‘asylum seekers’.

Looking at the demographic make-up, I think some (most?) of them want a ginger girl.

 Can you tell that just by looking at a photo.

Don’t deflect.

Explain the assertion you made.

 

Or are you unable to do so?!

Which is what us Brits did to the American natives. And the Canadian natives, the Australian natives, the New Zealand natives etc etc.

 

Karma.

 

i don’t understand the hatred for these people. On the whole they are better behaved than our natives, don’t get drunk and start fights etc.

All the ones I have met have been nice polite family orientated people. 
Wanting a better life for your family is not a bad thing.

Ask Angela Rayner.

If I went to the trouble of dodging death in an inner tube in the Channel, the very last thing on earth I would want to see is 50 of my dead beat relatives showing up.

 

Much sympathy to them.

 

How to stop this? If I'm in some sub-equator hell hole, I'm heading to Doncaster -that's because they don't know  what a toilet the Norf and Midlands are.

 

The best deterrent against immigration would be to show them pics of downtown Leeds on a Saturday night.

 

If their material situation improves in Algeria due to do-good NGO's, that only means that they now have to funds to leave earlier, more comfortably, and arrive sooner. And their whole family is backing them. 

 

Who here on this thread has the stones to sink the dinghies? Not that hard to sink a crowded rubber boat.

 

So why not? As righties are always wailing here, why just be butt-hurt? Trump begged the Army to shoot at the legs of border jumpers. Who's on onboard for this no-brainer of a plan?

[soi3eddie]

 

If the number of illegals coming to the UK is alarming, then that is just the tip of the iceberg. Multiply the number of those successfully gaining asylum by 1-4 people (family members such as wives and children), then that's going to cripple the country. Figures suggest that 60% of those seeking asylum are actually granted. The UK general public have no idea of how bad the situation could be in the next 5 years.

Thank you for your sensible vote to fire guns blindly into crowds. 

 

Your picture avatar would be proud.

OK then maybe just deflating the Dinghy's while they are still in shallow water to keep the lefties and socialists happy 🤪

[Prubangboy]

Uh-uh.

 

It's either bazooka blast, or Mohamed is railing your sister.

[Prubangboy]

Your problem is not Mohamed pounding your fat ex-wife from behind as the white dog she is; this we agree is a good thing, possibly a great thing.

 

It's the French perkily saying, "Bon Voyage" as Mohamed cheekily departs from their shores to become your headache.

I think even Mohamed would refuse my x-wife 🤣 however he is quite welcome to her.  The French play both sides of the issue, get the cash from the UK to increase border security and probably buy them the boats to get out of France!

So while Mohamed is indeed back door-dilating that sow you used to call your wife, you personally are getting reamed by beret-wearing fops. That's gotta burn.

 

The brown man who might mow your lawn is your friend. You are a chump for simps who still read philosophy books.

 

Fight the power!
