My point in saying "what attitude, what people?" was to point out the stupidity and extreme generalisation in the comment. Quote:

With regards to asylum seekers.
As a nation we get about 100,000 AS a year. Of those, only about 10,000 are considered valid. Think of the resources being wasted on the 90% that aren't valid! That's why I go along with the plan to build multi-national funded asylum centres where AS can be taken, looked after, and assessed much faster (most AS lawyers will tell you that if the AS is detained the acceptance/rejection process is much faster as you know where they are). Those who are rejected (ie economical migrants etc) would get returned to their own countries. Those who actually do need our help and support would be allocated to a country on a quota basis, so no recieving country is economically burdened. They'd also get language training for the country they are allocated to, and any basic education they need (and importantly medical training for any AS doctors so they can start practicing immediately). Once they arrive at their allocated country, they won't be AS anymore, as they've been given asylum and therefore will be able to work, pay taxes etc unlike the current AS who are not allowed to work and therefore have to rely on benifits from the state. Personally I feel that if the public knows that these people are genuine, and truly do need our help, and these people are working and not taking benifits, then they will be much more accepting. Also, with the money that would be saved from not having to deal with the 90,000 invalid applications we could afford to increase our quota to 20,000 helping even more genuine people in need, and still have money left over. |

You want an answer? Well first answer me this: Are you proud of what your ancestors have done? Are you proud that its your ancestors who've let you live such a luxorous life? Are you proud of your ancestors who've built this country? Are you proud of the good aspects of British history? If the answer is yes to any of those questions, then yes; you should then also feel remorse and disgrace (not guilt) for the bad actions of your ancestors. Take the good with the bad and the bad with the good as they say. |
As a country we have been guilty of a lot in the past, and we have also made restitution for some of it, we went into iraq to end the reign of terror of a dictator, we did this with the assistance of the americans (or we assisted them :D ) We offer asylum to people who ask, we fund a health service for the general population, we have put the asylum seekers in hotels most of us couldn't afford a long stay in, we give them money, legal assistance etc.
we have waiting times of 2 years or more for some surgery on the NHS, breakthrough drugs and treatments are rejected by the NHS on the grounds of cost. yet we accept more refugees and asylum seekers. Businesses are failing in the UK, yet we accept more asylum seekers. It has to end, before this country is unable to support itself, we need to put the situation on hold, process those we have, accept or reject the people, then we pass people to france, to italy, to other countries while we sort ourselves out. If the country was a business, it would be closed by the directors. our first responsibility has to be to the people who are living here, to improve things for them. We also need to readdress the situation for the asylum seekers. Perhaps an idea along the lines of the following... State run employment centers, for the asylum seekers, making clothing for them, making other goods, furniture, etc which each asylum seeker must work in, unless they find more gainful employment outside the centers, This to be done for a period of 2 years, Compulsory english lessons for them so that they may speak the language of the country they wish to live in, wages to be paid, with deductions for the housing they are given, as well as national insurance and normal taxes. This means that rather than supporting them, they support themselves. Any refugee / asylum seeker found to commit a crime within the first 6 months (ANY crime) to be deported. Within the first 2 years, deported depending on the severity of the crime. |

Someone said earlier that 90% of all asylum seekers were economic migrants, not refugees. As such they are con-men/women and they are conning our country and taking our money. |

the British nation has (like many others) been built partly on the blood and sweat of other peoples but that is not the fault of anyone alive today. It's a bit like expecting you to pay reparations because your great grandfather committed a crime. |

"Although employment was not the dominant reason for heading to the UK, it was found to play some role because, according to the researchers, they wanted to support themselves - something the UN Refugee Agency calls "mixed-motive migration" "Finding work was an important issue once they had reached a place of safety," said the Home Office paper" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3075505.stm |
