My gf, South African, can't get JSA, can't get housing benefit, can't get hospital treatment on the NHS other than A&E.
If she were pregnant, we'd have to pay up to £9K to have our baby born in a hospital.
Yet you're unable to differentiate between that and an asylum seeker?
Come off it! It's not hard.



Like an Englishman moving to Wales and not being able to speak the language?
Or someone from the deep west country not being understood in London? How are your bunty chompers?
Or the cultural barrier between northeners and southerners?
Last time I went to wales they had no problem understanding english.

I can differentate but do you not understand that asylum seekers and immigrants are not linked? ie. when you allow more immigrants you also get more asylum seekers.

1 - you said yourself asylum seekers cant work and have to have benefits, this costs money as well as the housing provided.
2 - immigrants are the opposite and are restricted in terms of benefits but do still cost the country money for public services and housing space.

You are arguing with me as if I am saying stop immigration when I am merely saying it needs to be cut down.
