Why is the government wasting precious time to consider harbouring asylum seekers and so called "illegal immigrants" off-shore.
Nothing is going to stem the tide of people migrating across the world. Asylum seekers have the right in international law to be allowed their freedom of movement once they arrive and have been registered.
Some migrants are not asylum seekers and have entered the UK illegally for economic reasons. Along with the asylum seekers, that get to our shores by unconventional means, they are the world's most brave, resourceful and enterprising citizens and probably the most amicable. Why not give all migrants the opportunity to help themselves to rebuild their lives whilst adding to the economic progress of the nation?
It is my opinion that "illegal economic migrants" should be registered and given a substantial period of time to establish themselves in good jobs or start successful businesses. If they have not done so after a fair period of time they would be told to leave. Once the migrants have become established in the UK then their families should be allowed to join them. This would be better than the cruel system that we have got now; the migrants are here to stay, as there is a 40,000 backlog of deportations. The current system is unrealistic and unmanageable: it will not work.
Surely, my proposal would be better than the inhumane system of jailing them or harbouring them offshore.
It is time for our nation to get real about migration.
