I am not aware of any surge in Asylum seekers in this area. Almost all the migrants are from Eastern Europe and are here to work. I don't know any who are simply here to milk the system. However there are many locally born people who are very adept at doing just that. I don't suggest that there is not a problem with the abuse of the Asylum system, as I feel there clearly are some issues, but that is not the reason for the immigration increases in this area.
This is my experience too. There is a very large underclass of Anglo Saxon Trailor Trash in this country who will never work, who think the world owes them a living, who will cheat the system any way they can and who are too lazy to get off their ass and make something of their lives. If this scum was forced to work there would be no reason for EU migrants to come here as there wouldn't be any jobs for them. Before we start blaming the Poles, Lithuanians and any other Eastern European, we need to take a closer look at who's fault it really is.
You are quite correct we do have enough rubbish of our own so why import more and compound the huge social and law breaking problems.
How about some of the vermin who have flooded in under the cloak of EU/Asylum/Labours Multicultural grab a vote free for all
"Dutch" Somali/Ethiopian Single Mothers with a tribe of offspring
Romanian Pickpockets/ATM Fraudsters/Shoplifters/Child Traffickers
Albanian Pimps and Gangsters
Turkish Drug Runners
Muslim Extremist "Students"
I think that's enough without getting onto Iraqis, Afghans, Ukrainians
I don't suppose for a moment that should any of the above descriptions actually be accurate that anyone invited them here. Illegal immigrants have been a problem for a long time and no-one yet has found a complete answer to it. We cannot simply close the borders but the latest controls, involving biometric passports and much tougher entry requirements will help.
As a country we need to have a controlled level of immigration to ensure that we can maintain our services. Anyone who argues against that does not really understand the demographics. With our ageing population we cannot survive just by postponing the retirement age. Hopefully we can exclude the criminals through proper screening so I hope that you do not intend to classify all immigrants as "vermin". Rather a lot of us are married to one!
controlled immigration is needed not just for those coming from outside Europe, but also from the expanding EU.
The population of the UK will rise from 61m to 71.6m by 2033 if current trends in growth continue, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.
Just over two-thirds of the increase is likely to be related directly or indirectly to migration to the UK.

yes most of us are married to an immigrant on this forum, but that should be your legal right to be with your spouse, that's totally different from people 'over staying' their visa, working illegally, 'studying' at a fake college, or coming to the uk legally or illegally marrying some eastern European and being allowed to stay here or being guilty of frustrating Immigration laws..
