BTW, your right wing trope that people crossing the channel in boat (because there is no legal route) are all economic migrants is false:

And I thought you were better than screaming and hiding behind "racism", wonder how many other people have done that without ever even meeting an asylum seeker. I've worked with a fair few and they'd laugh themselves horse at fullfact assertions, once they’re comfortable in company they matter of factly say they all lied to get here and I don't blame them particularly, if I was in their place I probably would to.

All those actually granted asylum are most welcome.
I object to fit young men, leaving their country, passing through many safe countries, intending to draw on our benefits system for their own benefit.
I also object to the people trafficking that allows them to leave France, something French law enforcement does little (so it appears) extinguish .
I object to us not knowing which of those illegal migrants are terrorist in nature.
I object to illegal immigrants who purposefully destroy their means of identification; their bona fides must be questionable.
My remarks are directed at the illegal migrants; the ones granted asylum are not my target.
Btw, where do they get their money from to pay the traffickers? I'll lower myself even more in your estimation - I smell the whiff of Saudi Arabia or Iran (take your choice).

There's an argument that it has to be young, fit men making the crossing as they're best equiped to survive the journey across to France and then from France to here, I dont totally buy it but it's not beyond the realms of fantasy.
The destroying of documents is interesting and dishonest imo, they're either lying about where they're from or they've failed the application in Belgium or France
I think it more likely they get money from working illegally than as international terrorists

FullFact was co-founded by an Etonian, Conservative donor but never mind.
