Interesting that the BBC story concentrates on missing migrant children.

"More than 100 unaccompanied child migrants remain missing after disappearing from UK hotels over a 14-month period, data reveals.

BBC News has discovered that 116 children disappeared between July 2021 and August 2022, after temporarily being put in hotels by the Home Office." (BBC website)

This is really a pop at reporting, which is lax. There are missing people from hotels, but they are only classified as children based on say-so, and all arrive without documentation.
The article then spuriously goes on to speculate that these 'children' are being exploited.

Even The Sun was doing better than this, some time ago.

I disengage, I turn the page.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

All our comedians work for government not those unfunny chat shows on Dave.

You are of course correct that the money is from the same source whether British or immigrants but these people are illegal immigrants. There are a few issues for me here:

The camps in Kent were recently inspected and found to be full and cramped. Some people had been living in marquees for a fortnight and some have waited in hotels/ camps for more than a year before their case is reviewed.

I feel we should not be making illegal immigrants too comfortable. They chose to come here via France which is perfectly safe haven, we did not invite them.

The camps are full because most of the deserted military establishments in Kent and elsewhere have been demolished and turned into housing estates. I wouldn't like to speculate who profits most from the sale of the government owned land. Remarkably,these new housing estates seem to appear almost overnight too.

It was stated that most of the immigrants arriving these days are Albanian men. I am unaware of wholesale persecution of individuals in Albania so I speculate that these people are here to exploit our welfare system and probably arrive in gangs. Gangs spell trouble. A short drive to a detention centre and a one way ticket on a charter back to Albania is the simplest solution.

If we have too many illegal immigrants awaiting an asylum review we need to step up their processing and make space on the conveyor belt. I don't think we should be filling up camps, hotels and now privately owned rentals indiscriminately as it merely shows we are unable to deal effectively with the issue.

Granted permission to stay does not necessarily mean granted asylum. A high percentage are granted leave to remain but not as asylum. Why?
applications are granted to get numbers down, that is a fact, a fact that won’t be published. I have first hand experience.
Another issue, those claiming to be minors who aren’t, minors will be granted asylum. Just to put this into perspective

Doctors, nurses, carers, supermarket staff, fruit pickers and HGV drivers, bar staff- the list is endless!

So all the Channel migrants fall into these categories? I don’t think so.
If you are a qualified doctor/nurse you would get a work permit and be able to enter legally. If you are a fruit picker, you would qualify for a seasonal work permit…. Fact
What is your point here?
