| Dead 16yr old washed up on Calais beach... on 23:08 - Aug 21 by Catullus | Hmm, education isn't really a guarantee of intelligence. My wife has a degree and....I'll leave that there, but she married me! I don't know if this woman is an immigrant but she is definitely a welfare cheat who, in my opinion got off lightly. The question for me is, how many others are falsely claiming benefits and sending the money overseas? It's up there (but in second place) with how much tax are rich people avoiding? |
Far more tax avoidance. Most benefit cheats are not sending money overseas. |  | |  |

| Dead 16yr old washed up on Calais beach... on 23:06 - Aug 21 by controversial_jack | They have to get here first to apply for asylum, so it's not illegal as long as they present themselves to the authorities asap |
That is correct, but there is an argument they have to enter via a ‘recognised’ border crossing. Either way they are not illegal immigrants whatever Farage and. His followers may wish to suggest |  | |  |

| Dead 16yr old washed up on Calais beach... on 21:31 - Aug 21 by Flashberryjack | Well if it's legal for refugees to pass through safe countries to claim Asylum in the UK, why are the government trying to stop them from doing something that is legal under UN law. |
A refugee escaping a country to save their life due to war and/or famine is different to an economic migrant who's leaving a country where their life is not in danger but they want to improve their life/prospects. What percentage of those in France trying to get across are refugees and how many are economic migrants. |  |

...read this slowly and get it through your thick skull. If these people entered the country illegally...THAT'S ANYONE WITHOUT PAPERS IN A DINGHY IN THE CHANNEL...and departed from a safe country where they could have claimed asylum...THAT WOULD BE FRANCE...they don't have a right to claim asylum in this country. |  |

In fairness, the info you shared and the link ECB shared which were both from the same website (Fullfact) seem to be contradictory. I think the uk interpretation of the law means they wouldn’t have had to claim asylum in France... It maybe just the way I read it? |  | |  |

I know the amounts of money nvolved are vastly different. The second point, it seems to me is an opinion and is hard to prove or disprove. Many Asians send money 'back home' out of family loyalty. |  |

That doesn’t appear to be correct. From my limited reading on this, the Dublin regulation says thatthe the country responsible for an asylum claim is the country where a claim is first lodged, not the country in which the claimant first lands. Which makes sense when you think about it otherwise no one would ever get to France let alone the UK. So if someone arrives on a dinghy from France, the Dublin regulation says that their fingerprints should be checked against the database to see if a claim has been lodged elsewhere. If it has they can be returned to that country which is responsible for their asylum claim. If not, they’re entitled to claim asylum in the UK. Also I don’t know if the Dublin regulation will apply in the UK once the transition period is over. |  |

What about all the white people, who vastly outnumber those foreign looking types, who are benefit cheats? Are they okay as long as they don't send their money overseas? |  |

You didn't, I was just wondering why the low numbers of foreign cheats, bother you more than our far larger number of whitey native cheats. Going by your oft trotted out mantra, shouldn't it be, all benefit cheats bother you the same? |  |

I have to take issue with your statement here. It is not legal to illegally enter another country. The clue is in the name “illegal immigrant”. I’ve never wanted to be even seen to be close to the racist ghoul but the Sudan/Syria/Libya is not 23 miles across the channel! The French have the cheek to funnel these poor unfortunate people to a camp within striking distance of the UK, treat them worse than animals with no provision of housing or support and then criticize the UK for not allowing them to risk their lives on toy dinghies overladen with people including children?? Im sorry to say they are not seeking asylum from persecution and maltreatment from some Middle Eastern warzone . They’re seeking asylum from the persecution and maltreatment by the French government !!! |  |

No it's not. They can go to any country and apply for asylum. If they get it they become legal immigrants, if they don't they get get returned.At no time are they illegal |  | |  |
