When I think about the UK

Hello, just to say no one is rewarded with a house for turning up in the UK. We have laws that protect people who are fleeing there country because of persecution, war and devastation. Possibly other reasons I can't think of. But these people have to be judged by a system to determine if they meet these criteria. If you look at the UK's asylum and refugee system there's a big back log so people who turn up without documentation are waiting for the outcome of their case here for a few years. They are put on bail conditions meaning they can't look for jobs and they are given a meagre allowance for food and essentials, it's something like 5 pound a day I can't remember the exact amount but there's a lot of misinformation online that they are given a lot of benefits and homes. They're given temporary accommodations and don't get to choose where, it just happens to be cheap hotels because that's who has contracts with the government. It's still an wasteful process. But I would say think of the alternative.

Many people are refugees because they may be killed in their home country. In the case of criminals, I think there is more attentiveness then people roaming free without being documented by the state. I imagine some get through the cracks, I would have to research it but my general thought is the authorities do know and process people when they turn up by boat. The alternative to stop these boats could lead to tragedies as it already has in some cases where British and French didn't intervene with one of these boats that was sinking. 

People escaping conflict and persecution are traumatized, maybe even from the journey, and also you have to think from the perspective of people's freedom and rights. Would it be right to detain said people? It's a difficult question and I would say probably not. The crime of refugees in this country is over blown in the news, if you compare crime rates of people who were born here, refugees are focused on disproportionately.

Anyhow these are just some of my thoughts.
