"I’m by thought it was only single men of “fighting age” that were invading our shores? You saying there are children too? Hold on a minute…. Next you will be saying that there are women too." Councils pretty take it at face value when someone says they're a child if the home office haven't specifically confirmed their age. There have been many documented cases of grown men lying about their age. Influx of fighting age men means an influx of men lying about their age in proportion. | |||

I'm not sure I have heard what Labour's plans are. Are they opening the safe routes or have another solution.

But on the hole the councils are all stretched for cash so it's going to be hard. You would like to think the primary age children might get taken in buy families like with Ukrainian but with the cost of living? As for the 14 and up its hard to tell theare age to its a much deeper problem. | |||

Will safe routes stop the small boat crossings? "Safe routes will only make a difference to those genuine asylum seekers. It wont make a blind bit of difference for the economic migrants or indeed those being trafficked however, we wont know what effect they would have unless the Government actually set them up. I personally believe the majority of those comming on the small boats have no entitlement to be here which is why they are investing substantial sums of money to get here illegally. | |||

Conspiracy theory pushed by the media. "They do pay for the boat trips, they are in the region of £2k - £3k each, channel crossing. The traffickers take the money for the Mediterranean trip and try to upsell the UK as a final destination, as it brings in another fee. | |||

You suggest the OP was about 'tories' and 'their supporters', you didn't have to say it. I'd assume he means the actual question he asked in the OP. You assume correctly
I answered a paraphrased version of your question from another poster.
I am however flattered that you appear more interested in my opinion than anyone elses.
Do you have an answer to the original question, or just patter? ""What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue?" We could blame child asylum seekers and continue to vote in the Tories. How about you, what's your answer? | |||

"... declares that it is so overwhelmed by asylum seeking children that it may have to stop taking any more local children into care and the High Court has previously ruled that they must continue to accept all young refugees. What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue? So blame the symptoms of a broken system, not the cause of the broken system? Failure at the top, which wreaks havoc at the bottom. I think we all know this next general Election the tories are out. Kent can't cope with the influx of children arriving at its coast line to the point of not being able to support local children. How will opening our borders to all help with this? will it stop the illegal crossings?
You appear to have answered your own question.
how will it stop them?
Maybe if everyone keeps voting Tory relentlessly?
you don't want to even try and answer the question? I will avoid confusion and ask it again.
Will safe routes stop the small boat crossings?
Safe routes will only make a difference to those genuine asylum seekers. It wont make a blind bit of difference for the economic migrants or indeed those being trafficked however, we wont know what effect they would have unless the Government actually set them up.
I personally believe the majority of those comming on the small boats have no entitlement to be here which is why they are investing substantial sums of money to get here illegally.
I think you are right
They have not got any money for boat trips, seriously does anyone really think these people have thousands in euro's on their person while roaming around the eu.
Conspiracy theory pushed by the media.
Are you suggesting that the criminal gangs organising the crossings are doing it for free?
Well if they do pay to be trafficked they are not genuine asylum seekers but are genuine economic migrants not fleeing anything or anyone.
Every thing I have read or watched on this from every outlet says they pay several thousands to take the journey"That is just hearsay no proof, if they do pay they are not genuine asylum seekers, so they are economic migrants? | |||

"Given that there are no legal routes for most, how are asylum seekers supposed to get here (if they have family here etc)?" If they have family over here, then that family can just apply for the asylum seeker to come over here on a family visa. Much safer and simpler than a boat crossing, as well as being legal. | |||

"Economic migrants are also asylum seekers ..." Only if they apply for asylum. Those that just disappear into the black market are not asylum seekers. "All are legal until such time that their case is rejected." No, if they arrived by irregular means, they are illegal. If their asylum case is accepted, they become immune from prosecution for that illegal act, but they still acted illegally. | |||

I answered a paraphrased version of your question from another poster.
I am however flattered that you appear more interested in my opinion than anyone elses.
Do you have an answer to the original question, or just patter?
"What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue?"
We could blame child asylum seekers and continue to vote in the Tories.
How about you, what's your answer?"I'm in favour of the Australian or Belgian solutions which are proven to work and save lives but I very much doubt you have the stomach for that | |||

You appear to have answered your own question.
how will it stop them?
Maybe if everyone keeps voting Tory relentlessly?
you don't want to even try and answer the question? I will avoid confusion and ask it again.
Will safe routes stop the small boat crossings?
Safe routes will only make a difference to those genuine asylum seekers. It wont make a blind bit of difference for the economic migrants or indeed those being trafficked however, we wont know what effect they would have unless the Government actually set them up.
I personally believe the majority of those comming on the small boats have no entitlement to be here which is why they are investing substantial sums of money to get here illegally.
I think you are right
They have not got any money for boat trips, seriously does anyone really think these people have thousands in euro's on their person while roaming around the eu.
Conspiracy theory pushed by the media.
Are you suggesting that the criminal gangs organising the crossings are doing it for free?
Well if they do pay to be trafficked they are not genuine asylum seekers but are genuine economic migrants not fleeing anything or anyone.
Every thing I have read or watched on this from every outlet says they pay several thousands to take the journey
That is just hearsay no proof, if they do pay they are not genuine asylum seekers, so they are economic migrants?
The alternative explanation is the criminal gangs are doing this for free which I find the hardest to believe
Buddy is hammering a subtle point home... two possibilities... One asylum seekers also pay gangs. I don't see why it's mutually exclusive.
Two, like loan sharks, the gamgss are happy for people to become.i debt to them.
In reality, we have a broad church of ppl on the boats. It's why 25pc are women and kids. Why the majority aren't Albanian. And why it's possible to be able to pull put "economic migranant, benefit hunting, fake kids" without tripping over contradictions.
I can see an economic migrants becoming a debt to gangs because if they disappear into the underworld then they're probably still with the gangs working on this end.
I cannot see asylum seekers becoming a debt because once they claim they'll be sent somewhere and won't be under the control of the gangs.
If the gangs are allowing genuine asylum seekers to become debts then it's a terrible terrible business model. but isn't the argument people are faking being asylum seekers whereas they are actually economic migrants?
(I get lost as different people have different angles that combined are incoherent)
Economic migrants are also asylum seekers, which is a legally defined term. All are legal until such time that their case is rejected.
Some on here are incapable of understanding that quite simple point.
you keep pushing this narrative...
Economic migrants are not asylum seekers, they are not fleeing persecution and can return home safely. They are also travelling for wages and jobs.
Why do you constantly blur the lines?"I’m not blurring anything. I’m pointing out the legal side. If a migrant arrives by boat fleeing war they are an asylum seeker. If they arrive fleeing poverty and seeking relative wealth they are an asylum seeker. It is the asylum system which then determines their status as failed asylum seeker or legal refugee. It’s not narrative, it’s the law. | |||

"how do you address it? Everyone has the right to claim asylum. Even if they have no real grounds to make a claim. Imo the best way is to process quick. However the paradox here is that these "bogus" cases also seem to flumux our assesors. | |||

"... declares that it is so overwhelmed by asylum seeking children that it may have to stop taking any more local children into care and the High Court has previously ruled that they must continue to accept all young refugees. What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue? So blame the symptoms of a broken system, not the cause of the broken system? Failure at the top, which wreaks havoc at the bottom. I think we all know this next general Election the tories are out. I think this OP demonstrates the Tories are safe. Their supporters would rather blame children seeking asylum than the government. The OP doesn't say anything about the Tories and speaks in facts. The High Court did indeed make the ruling. Thank you...and Johnny doesn't want to answer the question I notice I didn't say that the OP mentioned Tories. What question are you suggesting I don't want to answer? You suggest the OP was about 'tories' and 'their supporters', you didn't have to say it. I'd assume he means the actual question he asked in the OP. You assume correctly
I answered a paraphrased version of your question from another poster.
I am however flattered that you appear more interested in my opinion than anyone elses.
Do you have an answer to the original question, or just patter?
"What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue?"
We could blame child asylum seekers and continue to vote in the Tories.
How about you, what's your answer?
I'm in favour of the Australian or Belgian solutions which are proven to work and save lives but I very much doubt you have the stomach for that"Why don't I have the stomach for it? | |||

So we quickly get back to: Routes for afghans and syrians Routes for hong kongers. Routes for ukranaians albeit not asylum. Some places for people who have gained asylum elsewhere and now have to be moved. Everyone else....??? | |||

"Once again, from the UNHCR website: “ There is no such thing as a bogus asylum-seeker ..." "That would be the UNHCR web page that then goes on to use the phrase 'bogus asylum seeker', and continues by quoting other people using it. Not the best source of information on the topic." "Hey, if you know more on the topic than they do, or indeed than Kofi Anann then please, fill your boots." It was Kofi Annan that they quoted, saying "Let us remember that a bogus asylum-seeker is not equivalent to a criminal; and that an unsuccessful asylum application is not equivalent to a bogus one". It looks like he believes that bogus asylum seekers exist. | |||

"Let’s do this another way. 2 dinghies arrive. On one we have a dozen men, no documentation. No English language. They’re here seeking work and to send money back home. Ok the second dinghy we have a dozen men fleeing a natural disaster. They also have no documentation and speak no English. Which ones are asylum seekers?" None of them. Looking for work is not a valid basis for an asylum claim. Neither is being displaced by a natural disaster. You also only said that the dinghies arrived, you didn't say that anyone on board has applied for asylum. Let's assume that they all do apply. If they are all truthful about their reasons for coming here, they will all be considered 'asylum seekers' for the short time that it takes to reject their applications. Then they will all be 'failed asylum seekers'. The ones seeking work are also 'bogus asylum seekers'. The ones fleeing a natural disaster might not be 'bogus asylum seekers' if they didn't know the rules before they applied. Was that the answer you were looking for? | |||

They probably won’t all be ‘failed asylum seekers’ given that 75% of claims are successful. The point I was making is that you can’t say person x is an asylum seeker and person y is an economic migrant until their respective claims are heard. It’s really not that complicated. | |||

"They probably won’t all be ‘failed asylum seekers’ given that 75% of claims are successful." They definitely will all fail, given the criteria you supplied as their reason for travelling. Unless of course they lie in their application and pretend to be a persecuted minority. If they do that, given that we can't prove their identity or country of origin, they might indeed become part of the 75% that gets accepted. "The point I was making is that you can’t say person x is an asylum seeker and person y is an economic migrant until their respective claims are heard." But no one is saying that. People are saying that economic migrants should be kept out, and genuine refugees allowed in. No one is attempting to determine who falls into which category. | |||

They deny it because it isn't true. "Asylum Seeker" is not a legal term, and it isn't protected in any way, it's just a description of a person. Likewise "bogus asylum seeker" isn't a legal term, it's just a description. A person can be an 'illegal immigrant', an 'asylum seeker', and a 'genuine refugee', all at the same time. Likewise a person can be both an 'asylum seeker' and a 'bogus asylum seeker' at the same time. "I have only ever pointed out their error." You should stop doing that, since it's clear that you don't know enough to tell others what's right and what's wrong. | |||

"... declares that it is so overwhelmed by asylum seeking children that it may have to stop taking any more local children into care and the High Court has previously ruled that they must continue to accept all young refugees. What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue? So blame the symptoms of a broken system, not the cause of the broken system? Failure at the top, which wreaks havoc at the bottom. I think we all know this next general Election the tories are out. Kent can't cope with the influx of children arriving at its coast line to the point of not being able to support local children. How will opening our borders to all help with this? will it stop the illegal crossings?
You appear to have answered your own question.
how will it stop them?
Maybe if everyone keeps voting Tory relentlessly?
you don't want to even try and answer the question? I will avoid confusion and ask it again.
Will safe routes stop the small boat crossings?
Safe routes will only make a difference to those genuine asylum seekers. It wont make a blind bit of difference for the economic migrants or indeed those being trafficked however, we wont know what effect they would have unless the Government actually set them up.
I personally believe the majority of those comming on the small boats have no entitlement to be here which is why they are investing substantial sums of money to get here illegally.
I think you are right
They have not got any money for boat trips, seriously does anyone really think these people have thousands in euro's on their person while roaming around the eu.
Conspiracy theory pushed by the media.
Are you suggesting that the criminal gangs organising the crossings are doing it for free?
Well if they do pay to be trafficked they are not genuine asylum seekers but are genuine economic migrants not fleeing anything or anyone.
Every thing I have read or watched on this from every outlet says they pay several thousands to take the journey"How they get the money is another problem, suspect there are loan sharks, as there is no way many can afford the “fees” to travel unless they are lent the money to do so. | |||

Allowing visa applications from abroad is part of it, not a separate entity. Don't we already try to 'work with the EU (France)'?, doesn't appear to be helping.

"The UK Govt must have also created the crisis in Italy, Greece and Spain too
No I’m just discussion the actions taken re: boats to the U.K
If you don’t believe that U.K. govt action/inaction has added to the issue, I’m not sure what to say to you
I'm talking about boats in those countries too.
The EU have a serious problem with boats, the US have a serious problem with people crossing rivers.
But fear not, if the UK Govt sort it out, it'll all be fine.
They have the power to help the situation in the U.K, do they not?
I’m really not sure what point you’re making here.
I believe my point is clear.
You can't see that 'illegal entry' is a worldwide problem because you're too busy blaming our Govt.
Apart from your usual 'open safe routes', what do you suggest any Govt can do to calm the problem?
‘Open safe routes’ is a valid suggestion, as you’re smart enough to understand. As is allowing visa application from abroad, and working with EU nations to facilitate holding centres on the continent, and improving the asylum system (including staffing) to speed up the claim process.
I’ve said all this previously.
Will any of the above stop the illegal entry by small boat? Or are your suggestions soundbites that on paper look great but in reality a lot of money that will not stop those economic migrants from crossing the channel?
If you want to stop illegal crossings altogether you’d be the first person in the history of these isles to do so.
The above would (I believe, along with others) all drastically reduce the number of illegal crossings - I’m sure you’d agree that’s a good thing. Make crossings safer, fewer in number, and hurt the vile people smuggling gangs in the process.
What’s not to like?
What would be the plan for those arriving here by small boat, if these measures were in place?
They would be entered into the asylum process as they are now. A caveat could easily be placed into the process that benefits those using holding centres/safe routes to travel, increasing their chance of a successful asylum case. "Would you prefer no checks and allow anyone who wants to be here into the country, would that be a fair summary? | |||

We can't discriminate based on the method of application. | |||

Home Office case workers are advised not to be sceptical or to adppt any form of interrogation that the applicant might find to be traumatic . It is hardly surprising that with such a weak assessment procedure we accept 75 % of claims compared to 33 % in France . It looks like the French assessment system is vastly superior to ours . At least the French are enforcing the law. We all have a moral obligation to ensure that the law is enforced and no one should be encouraging or making a financial gain from those attempting to enter the county illegally. Sadly many of the legal profession just want to use the current situation to line their own pockets . | |||

"... declares that it is so overwhelmed by asylum seeking children that it may have to stop taking any more local children into care and the High Court has previously ruled that they must continue to accept all young refugees. What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue? So blame the symptoms of a broken system, not the cause of the broken system? Failure at the top, which wreaks havoc at the bottom. I think we all know this next general Election the tories are out. Kent can't cope with the influx of children arriving at its coast line to the point of not being able to support local children. How will opening our borders to all help with this? will it stop the illegal crossings?
You appear to have answered your own question.
how will it stop them?
Maybe if everyone keeps voting Tory relentlessly?
you don't want to even try and answer the question? I will avoid confusion and ask it again.
Will safe routes stop the small boat crossings?
Safe routes will only make a difference to those genuine asylum seekers. It wont make a blind bit of difference for the economic migrants or indeed those being trafficked however, we wont know what effect they would have unless the Government actually set them up.
I personally believe the majority of those comming on the small boats have no entitlement to be here which is why they are investing substantial sums of money to get here illegally.
I think you are right
They have not got any money for boat trips, seriously does anyone really think these people have thousands in euro's on their person while roaming around the eu.
Conspiracy theory pushed by the media.
Are you suggesting that the criminal gangs organising the crossings are doing it for free?
Well if they do pay to be trafficked they are not genuine asylum seekers but are genuine economic migrants not fleeing anything or anyone.
Every thing I have read or watched on this from every outlet says they pay several thousands to take the journey
How they get the money is another problem, suspect there are loan sharks, as there is no way many can afford the “fees” to travel unless they are lent the money to do so."So you agree the criminal gangs are not doing this for free then. It's not impossible that some use loan sharks but if the applicants are to be believed then they have no ID at all. Not sure about lending money to people who they don't know and have no way of showing who they are in the knowledge they are about to cross the channel | |||

Very few applications are accepted at first review, and those are the only ones that would be eligible for the safe route. | |||

"I find it hard to see why one thinks safe routes wouldn't help tbh." It depends what you mean by 'help'. Some people want to stop the small boats because too many people are dying, and some people want to stop them because too many people are arriving. Safe routes will probably reduce crossings and thereby cut down the number of people dying, so they'll help if that's your concern. If you're more worried about the number of people arriving, then safe routes will only increase that number, so they don't help at all. | |||

It wouldn't take long for the trade to end if migrants could see that they'll just be returned. But France isn't willing to do that. | |||

It does mean people need to stand behind their connections and not play a "stop criminalality" card when their motive is to reduce numbers. If motivation is numbers then it's worth noting boat entry is c 45pc of all asylum claims. We've also accepted almost 400k of in migration thru just the Ukrainian and HK scheme in the past few years. In the last year we have granted asylum to 21k. As such, we are looking at the wrong end of the wedge if all we care about is absolute numbers of people. (ignoring that we are already looking at the thin end of the overall immigration wedge) | |||

Don’t discount the nefarious ways the criminals will stoop to to get their money back. It’s the ultimate vicious cycle you make something illegal, criminals will find ways to profit, then governments are wasting money on a problem they caused.. Like prohibition in the US, booze became illegal, the mafia swooped in made a fortune, then by the time the US government repealed prohibition, the mafia became so powerful, and the US government wasted millions of dollars over 60 years trying to smash them. | |||

"I find it hard to see why one thinks safe routes wouldn't help tbh. If you believed you had a valid claim, why wouldn't you go via a safe route rather than risk life (and spend 000s) on a crossing? I'd also go one further and say that using a irregular method either than a regular method acts as evidence against your asylum claim, unless you entered unaided and applied voluntarily. Any rescues count as aid. I don't think anyone thinks that. It's been said on here many times that safe routes WOULD STOP boat crossings. They wouldn't. I don’t think anyone has said they’d stop the boat crossings altogether. I may be wrong, but I can’t recall anyone claiming that. It's often said they would stop crossings and only reduced to 'decrease' when challenged. Uf we really want to stop crossings, we need the help of the French. That's not blaming the French before that's the accusations levelled at me. It's physically impossible for us to stop them as things stand. Is it? I don’t think it is what us said on here. Reduce yes. Provide a legitimate channel yea. By having a (more) legitimate channels it means those crossing in small boats can ll assume to be bogus. Really? Here is just one quote which tool me less than a minute to find. "The conservatives don't want to solve this, they've had 13 years and haven't...they bang on about people traffickers but could stop this overnight by opening safe routes" Ok fair enough! Sounds a bit like hyperbole. Nothing is guaranteed but having more safe routes open with wider eligibility combined with a clear message that coming in via any other means will be deemed as illegitimate and dealt with as such, would likely steer the majority of people towards the safe routes. It would also mean people who sympathise with the migrants will be able to more easily discern between legitimate claimants and the others! As posted before send a boat let all on board that want to come to UK. Boat is a prospering point and dose not enter UK water them that pass get safe free passage them that fail get dropped back to EU. All are fingerprint and scaned as biometric photo. Stop giving the cash to France and set up a diferant system that cuts out the small boats and smuggling. I wonder if the Norman’s tried to invade the UK now, they would have to claim asylum just to be accepted into the UK." Strange thing to think about, what was your conclusion? | |||

"Total routes for asylum Refugee permission, temporary, refugee permission, humanitarian protection,ARAP,ACRS,community sponsorship, mandate,UKRS,vcrs,vprs,discretionary,other,UASC grants. But yeah. There's absolutely NO legal entry into the UK...the first three are types of types of claims, rather than entry. All the claims via irregular come under the refugee and humanitarian permission. For those that didn't enter irregularly, which sade routes did they use ? Arap and acrs look to be be afghan only UN resettlement looks like it's moving someone who has already got refugee status in another country into the uk, because their new country has dangers too. It's running at a few hundred per quarter. It's not, as far as I can tell, a way of claiming asylum here. They are all types of claimsagreed. But the data doesn't help me understand the safe routes other than the resettlement options and the afghan type systems. So we quickly get back to: Routes for afghans and syrians Routes for hong kongers. Routes for ukranaians albeit not asylum. Some places for people who have gained asylum elsewhere and now have to be moved. Everyone else....??? " No. I gave you the report you can download. You can literally see every nationality that comes in via these routes quarterly. | |||

"... declares that it is so overwhelmed by asylum seeking children that it may have to stop taking any more local children into care and the High Court has previously ruled that they must continue to accept all young refugees. What's your answer as this clearly cannot continue? So blame the symptoms of a broken system, not the cause of the broken system? Failure at the top, which wreaks havoc at the bottom. I think we all know this next general Election the tories are out. Kent can't cope with the influx of children arriving at its coast line to the point of not being able to support local children. How will opening our borders to all help with this? will it stop the illegal crossings?
You appear to have answered your own question.
how will it stop them?
Maybe if everyone keeps voting Tory relentlessly?
you don't want to even try and answer the question? I will avoid confusion and ask it again.
Will safe routes stop the small boat crossings?
Safe routes will only make a difference to those genuine asylum seekers. It wont make a blind bit of difference for the economic migrants or indeed those being trafficked however, we wont know what effect they would have unless the Government actually set them up.
I personally believe the majority of those comming on the small boats have no entitlement to be here which is why they are investing substantial sums of money to get here illegally.
I think you are right
They have not got any money for boat trips, seriously does anyone really think these people have thousands in euro's on their person while roaming around the eu.
Conspiracy theory pushed by the media.
Are you suggesting that the criminal gangs organising the crossings are doing it for free?
Well if they do pay to be trafficked they are not genuine asylum seekers but are genuine economic migrants not fleeing anything or anyone.
Every thing I have read or watched on this from every outlet says they pay several thousands to take the journey
How they get the money is another problem, suspect there are loan sharks, as there is no way many can afford the “fees” to travel unless they are lent the money to do so.
So you agree the criminal gangs are not doing this for free then. It's not impossible that some use loan sharks but if the applicants are to be believed then they have no ID at all. Not sure about lending money to people who they don't know and have no way of showing who they are in the knowledge they are about to cross the channel
Usually the family of those people who take the loans are collateral, if you don’t pay something happens to them. Don’t discount the nefarious ways the criminals will stoop to to get their money back.
It’s the ultimate vicious cycle you make something illegal, criminals will find ways to profit, then governments are wasting money on a problem they caused.. Like prohibition in the US, booze became illegal, the mafia swooped in made a fortune, then by the time the US government repealed prohibition, the mafia became so powerful, and the US government wasted millions of dollars over 60 years trying to smash them."The problem with that is the criminals do not know who these people are as they have no ID. Unless they hold the families who also have no ID as hostages then it doesn't work. It may work if these asylum seekers actually had ID for getting the money but then mysteriously they all loose their ID documents before arriving in the UK. But that would be accusing them of gaming the system. Same with all the single young men claiming to be alone when they arrive here. | |||
