[QUOTE="Saintjay, post: 1184578, member: 55969"] Based on those figures I'm not sure but is seems within three/four years on current pace illegal migrants / asylum applicants entering the UK by boat would equate to the population of Cambridge City. Within eight your looking at the population of Nottingham. The figures also don't reflect the amount of people who stay without the right to remain. With some studies estimating from 2017 you have any where from 594,000 and 745,000 illegal migrants in the UK. On current trends it would appear to be a problem now and possibly in the future. As much as i dislike this government. I don't think it's solely an issue caused by them. As far as i know Europe as a whole is facing similar problems and i don't think the government's of France, Germany, Ireland etc can all be incompetent and scape goating for political gain. Maybe they are i don't know. I'm assuming they have different methods of claiming asylum legaly to the UK that also don't appear to be working. Various countries are guilty of passing the buck and burden onto others including the UK. The Labour Party as with many governments across Europe are going to be grappling with the same issue, and don't have a credible solution either. [/QUOTE]
