A Moroccan man who arrives in Britain via small boat and claims asylum will be given taxpayer funded accommodation, taxpayer funded food, and taxpayer funded spending money. Under this plan, he will be asked to repay a very small fraction of that taxpayer funded largesse, capped at £10k, if he finds work.
A British student who works hard and wins a place at a top-tier university will leave with £47,900 in debt, appreciating at a 6.2% interest rate. Once he starts work, he will pay this loan plus taxes to fund the welfare given to the Moroccan asylum seeker.
This is a grossly unfair system.
Home Secretary @ShabanaMahmood will be granted the power to determine how much refugees must pay back for their housing and financial support.
The amount can be adjusted to ensure fairness to taxpayers and that migrants aren't forced into destitution.
This cannot be true. In the UK, our Ministry for Housing tells us it is scaremongering to suggest migrants will require new homes to live in. Given migration makes up 90%+ of Britain's population growth, how could there possibly be a housing crisis?
As @AlpMehm says, straight from the horse’s mouth on what’s lacking and must be done before asylum seekers are admitted. If they can’t prove who they are, giving them benefit of the doubt is not an option. They must be held or removed unless they can prove they’re genuine; even if the queue (150,000) awaiting decisions is now twice the size of the British army (c75,000). Is it any wonder we can’t afford to boost our forces?

🚨 If you are a white person in Britain and you get assaulted by ethnic minority men:
The police watch on and wait until you are on the floor before moving in to arrest YOU.
The police make no attempt to arrest your assailants, letting them run off without consequence.
The police call you a “dick”.
The police hit your head against the police car.
The police then put a statement out claiming they are satisfied with the conduct of the officers.
The police demand the footage proving their statement to be false not be shared.
All because the Police ‘Race Action Plan’ demands officers do not “over police” black people.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
The Tories introduced these disgusting programs to force police to be institutionally racist against white people.
Labour continues them.
Reform will ABOLISH all Race Action Plans and ensure EVERYONE IS TREATED EQUALLY.
The outcomes of the disastrous mass migration "experiment" were obvious and predictable a generation ago, yet successive governments pursued it anyway - to "rub the noses of the Right in diversity".
A country ruined out of pure spite.
Our politicians bend over backwards to protect the "human rights" of predators ahead of their victims. This undermines the legitimacy of the justice system. Anyone who believes in fair and impartial justice should call for the deportation of this migrant grooming gang leader.
Incredible luddism here.

"Mass migration...is the leading edge of civilizational erasure. A people is not an interchangeable population, and the West is not a set of “ideas” that anyone can simply adopt by stepping across a border. It is a particular inheritance sustained by those who belong to it."
There are people in senior roles right now who were preening about Edward Colston and continue to talk about reparations while we have Kurdish slavers living in sleepy Leicestershire villages.
This is such an odd move from the Gov. They can do rush through changes to open the pubs, but not introduce emergency legislation to give the Pakistani leader of a grooming gang the boot?
Either the gov can do emergency legislation or it can't.
If a known, convicted criminal can get away with this level of brazen fraud, and the authorities cared so little that it was left to the BBC to uncover it, just imagine the levels of criminality and fraud taking place across the rest of the asylum system.
British citizenship is being systematically devalued.
First it was the vapid notion of "British values". Now the Home Office is abandoning even that loose concept - allowing illegal migrants to become British simply because they have been in the country for 6 years.
Our asylum system is already roundly abused by economic migrants, and allowing asylum seekers to work while their claim is being processed would be a huge draw factor.
Pro-migration ideologues like Zack simply don't understand second and third order consequences.

We should allow asylum seekers to work – so that they can support themselves and become part of our communities.
It’s these common sense solutions, not more performative cruelty, that will fix our broken migration system.

The £4.7b black hole in the Defence Investment Plan could be filled at a stroke - simply prevent the 2025 cohort of Article 8 migrants from accessing any kind of taxpayer funded welfare. Estimated net saving: £4.9b.
There was a subtle message in Labour's defence investment plan. They would rather delay or cancel vital infrastructure projects than reform welfare. For Labour, housing Somalis in Kensington is more important than upgrading our roads.
We will see more and more "migrant streets" around Britain until the government invests in a massive increase of immigration detention capacity.
It is the only fair and proportionate response to the asylum crisis.
New immigration reforms announced this week:
- asylum seekers will no longer be given expensive newbuild homes
- delivery companies will be fined for hiring illegal immigrants
- refugees will be asked to make a contribution to the benefits they receive
Some may wonder: why, exactly, was any of this allowed in the first place?
There's a ridiculous myth (originating with Windrush - 'you called and we came') that migrants come in some altruistic way to 'build the country'. The vast majority of migration is out of economic self-interest - getting paid is what satisfies that.
To govern is to choose.
The £5b black hole in the defence budget can be filled if the likely next Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, prevents just a single cohort of Article 8 migrants from accessing taxpayer funded benefits.
Make the right choice, Andy!
