Nor are a lot of the immigrants that arrive legally suitable or even qualified for the jobs they do. Loads of fake qualifications about.

 

Funny how we need net-zero to be self-sufficient in our energy needs, but we need millions of immigrants from third-world sh*tholes to meet our manpower requirements. Just as more and more jobs are being taken over by AI and robotics.

100,000 asylum seekers, if that was the true number, would indeed not make much of an impact.

The Home Office supports destitute people seeking asylum while it makes a decision on their asylum claim. In 2023-24, the Home Office spent £4.7 billion on asylum support, including £3 billion on hotels. This is compared with £3.6 billion on asylum support and £2.2 billion on hotels in 2022-23
