Asylum from persecution! this amounts to an open-door policy for bogus asylum seekers. Once they have gained entry totally from the UK they have, as far as can be seen, about an 80% chance of avoiding repatriation to their own country. Many asylum seekers are in fact economic migrants who are not unreasonably from their point of view, trying to better their lives by coming to Britain. These are not necessarily people who would fulfill legitimate immigration requirements, but by posing as asylum seekers in the world is effectively unlimited since so many people live under undemocratic and tyrannical regimes, the entire 1.3 billion population of china could legitimately claim asylum in Britain since they live under a tyrannical communist regime according to the West Press and could possibly claim to be the victims of political persecution!
