But that's not the case. It's financially more profitable for the government to cater to the needs of migrants. And from a political aspect, it's forecasted as a betterment to serve the needs of those arriving in the country in small boats, over the citizens of this country. At the moment 85% of the UK government's attention is invested towards addressing the situation of the mass migration epidemic and only 15% of the government's time is given towards tackling domestic issues.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

It’s for the benefits system, they see they can blag a pip claim get social housing before our own needy people because they say they’ve come from seeing terrible things that have scarred them mentally.

Perhaps if we didn't vote for parties and politicians that don't believe in the state (unless it's for their own expenses or a nice contract for the companies they're being paid to lobby for) and would actually force developers to build social housing instead of 3-5 bedroom houses that are far more profitable and barely any infrastructure and community upgrades (GP surgeries etc), then we wouldn't have such a crisis in the first place.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

They jump the queue because they say they’re mentally scarred from fleeing their home country and blag a pip claim and get social housing because they’re then deemed more vulnerable than our own homeless citizens.

But the governments need to put the message out there so people know this before attempting the dangerous journey. I am lucky enough to live in Australia and our government put the message out that no one arriving by irregular means will be given leave to remain Australia. Our infrastructure is not coping with the increase of legal migrants so the government has promised to cut the numbers. But we see what happens now. But we now have an issue of people arriving by air with a visitors visa and return ticket and then claiming asylum once they’re here!! Which is why say the definition needs reviewing as the interpretation is open to abuse.

Countries should be smart enough to realise the value of their country and look after their citizens instead of giving away citizenship to anyone carelessly.

Stop benefit

[@kellykreqeli8924]

Not even the British public can get a council house there are none why did they come? when it's all over the news how much of a struggle it is in the uk for many as it is we don't have the room for these people when our own people need housing and food and help they put themselves in this situation by coming knowing we have our own problems in the uk

[@waynenash6008]

Because as it stands they take priority, they will keep coming as long as our government makes it profitable for them

[@TheSockWomble]

I was out yesterday doing last minute Christmas shopping like I always have. Never have I seen so many homeless people out on the streets and guess what they were all white men women of all ages. I am working class grew up in a Council house in London so seen a lot over the years. Well travelled over the years so ashamed of our government on what they are doing.

The streets of the UK are not paved with Gold?

[@James-Narramore]

Some good news, At least our climate is putting up some patriotic resistance!

[@magnustatton5076]

WHAT ABOUT THE VETERANS AND NATIVE BRITS SLEEPING ROUGH? My God this is infuriating.

[@PBas-qq4uh]

Remember something called World war 1 and world war 2. Oh that's right our nans our grandads didn't run away did they.

[@lobstermash]

To be fair, those were not civil wars.

[@-j308]

​@@lobstermashcivil wars are fought by the very same people coming over though.

[@PBas-qq4uh]

They were still wars, their houses were still bombed to pieces. They still fought and died on the front line.@@lobstermash

He needs to go home and fix his country a long with the rest of them.

[@Gikkeoi]

Countries should prioritize their own citizens before considering helping immigrants

[@johncatto5019]

Very sad but we simply cannot house and look after everyone who just turns up here.

[@mansfieldlad123]

Why don't they go to Russia they have plenty of room we are only a little Island and we are almost full

[@darrengrimmer8541]

Many of our own are long term homeless..

[@lolorick5885]

I would go to Rwanda with everything paid for and a warmer climate and full access to medical care, I'm a Brit.

[@lekuns5246]

Maybe when the message finally filters through to these asylum seeking countries they will realise there's no point in sailing all the way to Dover on a dinghy because they'll end up living on the street.

[@MusclesNOTtattoos]

Well done to that father. Showing true protective masculinity. Get the Fers out now!

[@OliviaApple-hf8ig]

Yes people this is right so do yourself a favour and don't come hear. Italy is warmer for tents.

[@MrWozzy28]

hassan came across the channel in a small boat ....well send him back then

[@user-yp7rn6tb2t]

Then dont come here then

[@aionphriend]

Had £16,000 to get here on a rubber boat. Most people here couldn't afford to get to France on a dinghy. Land of milk and honey was just a honey trap.

[@shanzaybutt4334]

If they have to live in tents and poorly in Uk then better stay in your country.

[@SamanthaRiley-wd8mv]

Solution go home

[@box1007]

The streets of the UK are not paved with Gold? Drop the Mic 🤣🤣🤣

[@jaybee4288]

This is the thing, no matter how woke people want to be, living in the U.K. just isn’t good for poor people, it’s too expensive. They’d be better going somewhere else.

[@at4158]

They made a choice to come so they must deal with reality with it.
