Polish immigration in UK [491]
The UK and other parts of Western Europe are hardly a soft touch as they ship people off to their country of origin
Wrong... in a large proportion of the failed applications, these people just have their benefits withdrawn and are forgotten about, they then go "underground" work illegally and are not returned to their own countries...the system is flawed completely.
I see that you live in Toronto, what business is it of yours what happens in "Europe"
In fact, the way that most of them (asylum seekers) are treated by UK and Western Europe is nothing short of horrific.
They receive councelling which costs, they receive free medical, housing and benefits....and in Scotland they are entiled to free university places.....blimey thats horrific!
(where they will likely be killed)
If the above were true then why do they try so hard to get to an Island, they have travelled across so many other EU countries, surely in that state of mind you would just want to be in a "safe" country...it is in the most part for economic reasons they travel here...because we are a soft touch!.
