The last thing we need is to send out a message that the asylum application process is effectively optional, because if you fail but manage to evade capture for long enough you can stay anyway.

the plan could still feasibly work, those in this country with jobs get a simaler benefits system if they commit themselves to a working directive scheme which would ensure while they are working they legally pay taxes, acknowledge their holdings, and duely get the benefits of a tax savings and immunity from deportation.
that would be for those in this country illegally, although i hear what you are saying, if you think about it no matter what governments do illegal immigration is a problem.
rich countries with good job prospects will always be attractive, all benefits for illegal asylum seekers should be cut, i thought they were anyway ?
