This is not true. In Spain they get housed for free, they get free mobile phone contract, their kids go to school free, they get an allowance and they get placed on integration and work placement programs. All that and they get better weather. This is not a UK “Problem” nor is the UK burdened any more than any other European country who all have similar challenges.

Mostly white enough for people not to care that much.
And all those years ago there was no brexit
Because it doesn't win votes. The same way obesity costs the NHS twice as much as smoking but also gets less attention
You’re describing the stuff our government is doing as a political decision and what they’re failing at.
Ultimately it’s not the reason this country has gone to pot and gets a disproportionate amount of attention in the press to influence good people like you.
Don’t let it make you angry, that’s what they want. The government are the enemy, not the poor people risking their lives to get to a safe country that they know they’ll be happy in (some come here, most go elsewhere, we should do our bit).
Do some reading into the subject, there will be a lot of well written articles explaining what’s really happening (Paul’s post above is a fab start).
They just keep telling lies.
Can they not just send Priti Patel to Rwanda? She is an unwanted migrant after all.
Any true asylum seeker has a safe route into this country via the airports and ports, where they can contact border control, they do not have to pay a human trafficker £000's to cross one of the busiest and most dangerous waterways in the world in order to get here, they are told to dispose of all their papers as they cross, to hide their identity and country of origin.
Afghan refugee's are given a safe route, they follow that route.
Almost all Channel migrants arrive without passports after being told to shred ID (telegraph.co.uk)
Most of those arriving are also young men, the ratio of older men, women and children to younger men is very low.
For every story, every report, there is a counter story, I will believe what my friends who work for the RNLI and rescue these people tell me what is happening.
You are just showing your ignorance now, she was born in London, her parents were Ugandan-Indian.
Priti Patel - Wikipedia
There was no EC/EU in the UK either in the 60s when I was growing up. The point is that if the UK voted against immigration in Brexit, they could only have been voting against immigration from EU citizens. Whom are they going to vote against next now that the overwhelming number of immigrants are from outside the EU? They have total control (and always did have) but now both the Tories and Labour both spout the rubbish "We've lost control of our borders" because of the tiny number of people in boats. And furthermore neither have any idea of the number of real illegal immigrants who arrive, say on a tourist visa, don't go back and vanish into the ether.
It's not up to border control to process their application. There should be proper places like embassies and processing centres etc but the Uk have been offered this; They don't want it because if the boat people problem was actually solved they'd have to find someone else to blame. Telegraph, hmm. It's not illegal to leave a country. They were offered places in Calais to process people - no they didn't want that. There are less than a handful of safe routes to the UK available to these people. These boat crossings only really started after Brexit. You have to be in the country to claim asylum which they have the right to do.
I'm only going by what I've googled here but this is what the Amnesty International website says on the matter
OK, start with the parents and see if she finds Rwanda sooo good she follows
Rwanda is a wonderful place according to the government. But it's a big deterrent. Joined up thinking not working.
And it's such a great idea that no-one else has thought of it
Hmm. Yes.
I'm just going to hire a coach and go and collect all the British people I know who shouldn't be here, overstayers . Can round up about 20 or 30 in a 10 miles radius. Now shall I take them to the airport and put them on a plane back to blighty or send them to North Korea as I have decided that it is a safe place. I'd love to see the indignation on their faces.
How far do you want to go back, my DNA takes me back to what is now Germany
I don't think you know how Border Control works.
If you arrive in the UK without the necessary documents you were taken to a holding centre, those centres have been overrun by the numbers arriving, so they are being sent to other holding places like hotels, disused army camps or even accommodation barges.
Article 31 of the UN convention on refugees states
"Although it’s certainly true that crossing the Channel without authorisation isn’t a legal way to enter the UK, Article 31 of the UN Refugee Convention states that refugees cannot be penalised for entering the country illegally to claim asylum if they are “coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened” provided they “present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence”.
A lot depends here on how to interpret which country people are “coming directly from”. It could be argued, for instance, that as the people crossing the channel are coming directly from France—which is not the country they initially fled—they don’t have the right to claim asylum in the UK.
There is no obligation for asylum seekers to apply for asylum in the first country they enter, otherwise it’d be hugely unfair on neighbouring countries and lucky for those that are on islands.
They have to be on British soil to claim Asylum ie in an Embassy or actually not stopped at a border point. You don't understand. France is not the first country they enter. They can choose whichever country they want to claim asylum.
Under your logic all the countries would send everyone back to where they first entered Europe. Additionally if someone were to be sent to Rwanda they could claim that they were already in a safe country before, ie the UK.
And the places are overrun because the government is not processing the people. Probably the people processing them were EU citizens and they've all gone back to the EU, the irony.

The inherent characteristics of an asylum seeker say otherwise. They usually seek for asylum because they are somehow persecuted by the state or the state's laws in their countries of origin. Therefore they tend to not have the means to arrive to a different country by airports and ports as they'd need passports or VISA with clearance from their countries of origin to do that.
In order to circunvent this, most countries allow embassies to act as both a safe haven for asylum seekers and a way to adequately command and control the process. The UK does not, therefore leaving them with no feasible legal way to seek for asylum.
Now if you're talking about illegal immigration, that's a different beast.
My dna can be traced back to Rwanda, I went over there on a dinghy but they refused my entry as it wasn't a safe country
You did really well to get to a landlocked country by dinghy.
I wasn't going to use the "race" thing but you are indeed correct

She hasn't figured out yet that someone lied when they told her she looked good in that pink monstrosity she's wearing

Lots of bad decision making.

Anyone who thought Brexit was a good idea at the time of the referendum was stupid, uninformed and gullible.
Anyone who still thinks Brexit is a good idea is a moronic dildo, to put it politely.
Another of those idiots who it never occurred to that any change of rules would apply to them even if it isn't convenient.
Then again anyone who takes their political advice from listening to a metal band's singer has to be a bit thick.
They were all told this!!!! Taking equipment abroad becomes a joke, I’ve got friends in the filming industry and their job is harder because of this rubbish.
First of all I really like his views on why he doesn't want to pay tax in UK.
Secondly I hate his music and don't understand why I can see any British band I want in NL yet he has issues.

You have to be pretty desperate to risk your life on a boat crossing no matter who you consider a "genuine" refugee, and don't you think they would arrive by safer ways if they could?
Stupid and cruel and likely illegal "solutions" like Rwanda treat a symptom and not the cause. And give the Tories the bragging wrights to saving middle England from (mostly dark skinned) dangerous foreigners.
