Tackling Illegal Immigration: Why Amnesty and Work Permits are Better Solutions

Instead of trying to house the UK asylum seekers on an undependable barge which is not working, why don’t we just have an amnesty and grant them work permits so they can work honestly? They can pick fruits and earn a fair day’s wage. This ensures that stores like Waitrose are adequately stocked while providing a legitimate income source to these individuals.

It is also important to clarify the distinction between asylum seekers and the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS who often try to profit from the current situation. Many asylum seekers do come to the UK with the intention of working and improving their lives, but it’s crucial to process their applications promptly. Only a small percentage are determined to be fraudulent, and the large majority are genuine refugees who should be granted the right to work.

Believing that the UK is a place of bliss for all immigrants is an unfortunate assumption. According to recent statistics, 88% of the asylum seekers have been declared fraudulent. Thus, the only solution to this issue is to lock them up until they can be returned to their country of origin. Not only does this address the fraudulent claims, but it also sends a strong message that the UK will not tolerate illegal immigration.

Another notable solution is the idea of moving these individuals to South Georgia. This remote location would provide a secure holding camp where they can be detained and given the opportunity to work in exchange for their board and lodging. This would not only address the immediate housing issue but also ensure that they contribute to society in a tangible way.

.Tabloids and political commentators often argue that an amnesty would simply attract more illegal immigrants. However, this view ignores the fact that many asylum seekers are highly-educated professionals with skills that are sorely needed in the UK. One of my friends, for example, is a doctor who was granted refugee status after being an asylum seeker for a prolonged period. He completed further training and is now working for the NHS. Would it be fair to expect him, or others like him, to pick fruits for a living?

It is disheartening to see that many asylum seekers are stuck in limbo for unacceptable lengths of time due to political reasons. Instead of processing their applications, the UK is allowing them to remain in a state of uncertainty, prolonging their suffering and increasing the strain on social services. It is time to change this approach and ensure that the system is fair for all parties involved.

In conclusion, the current method of housing asylum seekers on a faulty barge is neither effective nor humane. We should move towards an amnesty and work permits model that addresses the root causes of illegal immigration while ensuring that these individuals are treated fairly and given the opportunity to contribute positively to society. Let’s adopt a solution that benefits both the UK and the individuals seeking asylum.
