ONLY if they are in imminent danger of being killed in their home country AND they bring a skill that is in short supply in the UK !
Most 'asylum seekers' come to the UK because we have a welfare system that will PAY them for coming here ! They don't come legally, through our Immigration system, but choose to hide away in truck, lorries etc. Additionally - since many of them come from eastern Europe - they have travelled though many countries to get here - what's wrong with settling in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy etc etc etc...
There is now a MASSIVE refugee 'camp' just outside the port of Calais in France - with TENS OF THOUSANDS of so-called 'refugees' waiting for their chance to sneak across the chanel into the UK, because the French government refuses to do ANYTHING to send these 'illegals' back to where they came from !

Opinions on asylum seekers in the UK vary widely. Some people are supportive and believe in offering protection to those fleeing persecution, while others may hold more negative views fueled by misinformation or prejudice. It is important to remember that each individual's circumstances are unique and should be treated with empathy and understanding.

Charles Watters has written: 'Asylum seekers and mental health care in the UK'
Asylum seekers shouldn't stay in the UK because the government has to pay for their housing and their food vouchers that are worth about £35.00, that means they have to raise taxes and its not fair to tax payers, because asylum seekers don't pay taxes.Also because if the government allows them to get a job, they can steal jobs from people living in the country who rightfully deserve the job, and the people living in the UK that arent seeking asylum have less chance of finding another jobno racism intended its just for my hmwrk x(: busieThere is no such thing as a legal asylum seeker in the UK. Asylum can only be sought at the FIRST SAFE COUNTRY YOU ENTER. Once you leave that country, you are no longer considered an asylum seeker and you become an economic migrant. When you become an economic migrant, nobody has any obligation to accommodate you and you can be deported without appeal.
