As would I if I thought it would aid my application! It has I suspect very little bearing on their future contribution.
Personally as a tax payer im happy for anyone to come if they can contribute. By contribute I mean fill a skilled job that cannot be filled by a UK citizen (or in a similar position where they can bring new skills or technologies)
By filling one of these positions I can be confident they will not become a financial burden to the UK and will integrate successfully.
We aleady too many pensioners and children below the poverty line, EVERY pound is spent on illegal immigrants and asylum seekers is a pound we take from them.
Many will disagree and I will reconsider my position when pensioners have decent state pension.

not to disagree, per se, but we now live in a global community & have to, imo, consider that in our dealings with the rest of the world.
We should not, in my opinion, discriminate against useful immigration because we have failed to provide the infrastructure ,education & training, ourselves, which would preclude such importation of skills - why was the QM2 built in France - because we couldn't do it!!!!
imo asylum seekers and illegal immigrants are two very separate subjects
