The Guvmin's duty to the UK people also includes knowing who is entering our country. These fit young men are economic migrants (at least mainly) - and where did they get the money to pay the traffickers? What's going on there?

I am interested why you link the cost of processing asylum seekers to the poor being unable to afford food? You know very well that there are many areas where the Government is literally giving away billions of revenue that might be used to "feed the poor". We have recent tax cuts for the banks to the tune of £4bn and a myriad of non-dom loopholes leaking billions each year for cite two examples and yet you equate the cost of processing these people with the poor not eating. Do you not think your logic is skewed?
The other interesting point (as pointed out by Yvette Cooper in the Commons) is that a Government is asking the National Crime Agency, whose job it is to target the criminal trafficking gangs (in collaboration with France), to draw up 20% staff cuts. This would not be happening if they were serious at stopping the trafficking gangs. Clear demonstration this Rwanda policy is yet another "red meat" gimmick to feed their core right-wing supporters.
