As a country we have been guilty of a lot in the past, and we have also made restitution for some of it, we went into iraq to end the reign of terror of a dictator, we did this with the assistance of the americans (or we assisted them
) We offer asylum to people who ask, we fund a health service for the general population, we have put the asylum seekers in hotels most of us couldn't afford a long stay in, we give them money, legal assistance etc.
we have waiting times of 2 years or more for some surgery on the NHS, breakthrough drugs and treatments are rejected by the NHS on the grounds of cost. yet we accept more refugees and asylum seekers. Businesses are failing in the UK, yet we accept more asylum seekers.
It has to end, before this country is unable to support itself, we need to put the situation on hold, process those we have, accept or reject the people, then we pass people to france, to italy, to other countries while we sort ourselves out.
If the country was a business, it would be closed by the directors.
our first responsibility has to be to the people who are living here, to improve things for them.
We also need to readdress the situation for the asylum seekers. Perhaps an idea along the lines of the following...
State run employment centers, for the asylum seekers, making clothing for them, making other goods, furniture, etc which each asylum seeker must work in, unless they find more gainful employment outside the centers, This to be done for a period of 2 years, Compulsory english lessons for them so that they may speak the language of the country they wish to live in, wages to be paid, with deductions for the housing they are given, as well as national insurance and normal taxes.
This means that rather than supporting them, they support themselves.
Any refugee / asylum seeker found to commit a crime within the first 6 months (ANY crime) to be deported. Within the first 2 years, deported depending on the severity of the crime.
