As of March 2020 the total inward migration to the UK for the previous year was 715,000

Of that figure the number we offered asylum to was 20,339 people

Where we do have people here illegally, I would think that most of it is down to them being here initially via legal immigration routes e.g. visa overstays, and not via any asylum or refugee claims.

That is plainly not true. Do you actually know anyone who has come to the UK from another country?
Most people who've come here that I've met and worked with over my life have taken active interest in their community - a lot of times more so than the 'native' residents including me.

A large majority (89% or 7,086,000) of the foreign born living in the UK self-reported speaking English well or very well in the 2011 Census. Just over half of the foreign born population (51%) had English as their main language in 2011. Among the 11% with limited English language skills, 15% said they could not speak English at all (138,000 or 1.6% of the foreign-born population). Among the UK-born population, less than 0.1% reported not being able to speak English well or at all (58,000)

That is the whole point of the asylum process that we should be doing today - allowing them to have legal visas and where possible a way to contribute to our country. Instead we stop them doing so.

but mainly stop asking people to welcome and tolerate newcomers until they deserve it.

I would hope we never end up in this country with that attitude again. Otherwise we risk going back to the colonial and racist attitudes of the past
