I dont understand how we can give refuge to illegal immigrants.... lets say for example, they have come from the former eastern bloc. Refugees are supposed to stop in the first safe country that they arrive in. To get to the UK they have to travel through Czech republic...Austria... Germany... Luxembourg... France... then the UK. Are none of these countries safe?!

I have no problem with people wanting to migrate to the UK, infact, my g/f came here from Thailand, BUT i expect people who want to migrate to do it through the correct channels. Apply for a visa, pay the money, have the interview etc.

The immigration system needs to be dramatically changed, but it is too much of a political hot potato to ever have any drastic changes made to it.
