What life is like for migrants who arrive on UK shores

Показать описание
New figures show that more than 5,000 people have tried to cross the Channel so far this year, over 100 of them yesterday alone, picked up by Border Force officials as they attempted the dangerous journey to UK shores.

It's more than twice the number of migrants intercepted during the same period last year, despite the Home Office's pledge to stop the numbers of people entering on small boats.

But what's happening to the people who have managed to make it here, in the hope of beginning a new life?

It's currently easier for an migrant to get into the UK than me to visit the UK where I am a citizen. This is is the madness of today.

Those that break into our country illegally should never get an interview, they should be deported straight away,

Free housing, free healthcare, free legal advice, all at the expense of the native population who also suffer the consequences.

Britain needs to make a harder stand as Denmark, Sweden and Holland do.

We need to stop this immediately. We can’t just keep letting them in then giving them homes and benefits more than pensioners get, who have paid tax all there lives. My local area has a 31, 000 waiting list for council houses, if your a illegal immigrant, go straight to the top of the list, disgrace

Who cares. Why not interview the indigenous UK people and see how they are affected

How about, "What is life like for the victims of unchecked criminals that are allowed to walk into our societies?"
What about the parents of the 14-year-old girl who's just been stabbed to death, and her 13-year-old friend who is critical, after being attacked in Germany by an Eritrean asylum seeker who then fled into his asylum shelter? It's not just the criminality, it's the cultural perceptions of people who think this is acceptable behaviour.

It makes my blood boil. Their accommodation is better than my Dad had in his care home for which he had to pay £1500 per week and sell his home to finance. The first question they asked him after his surgery for a broken hip was how much money have you got? He fought in WW2 for his country and this lot get better treatment. Send them back as they are freeloaders. The money should go on our elderly and vulnerable.

We support immigrants over our own homeless. Just think if the situation was reversed I wonder how long the immigrants would last !! Just saying .

That crutch was a nice touch. This country is wide open for anything they want. Just today, amidst all this controversy, our government has put travel restrictions on us, stopped flights that are legally coming from Africa. If you want to get here illegally, welcome just sail in !!... WTF is happening to our country.

My mother in law lost her home during lockdown, was evicted and homeless, we took her into our home ( very little room as we are a family of 4) until we could get her on the housing list . It was near impossible to get her help, even suffering from diabetes they showed little support . Meanwhile .

The U.K. should declare a state of national emergency like Poland has? If it becomes clear that paying criminals large sums to bypass immigration rules does not work then this will stop. The Polish boarder had ~5 days worth of ships crossing the channel but the firm and decisive action has stopped new people travelling within a couple of weeks and will benefit all sides in the long run. I am writing this to my MP to make my thoughts known

He has been living here through our generosity off the backs of the hardworking British taxpayer. He says he has been stuck in his room and yet he couldn't be bothered to learn the language of his host country. Then he expects to get a job?
