# Umm....
Asylum seekers are actually a huge problem. It's not just Daily Mail spin, it's the truth. Believe me - I work directly with them. They lie to get into this country, and then take our housing and benefits - at the expense of British people.

And that's not a "Daily Mail right-wing" thing to say - it's simply the facts.

# Well, I'm sure there is some truth to that, but as a man who lives on a run down council estate surrounded by benefit frauding anti-social BNP supporting Daily Mail reading drug fucked sell your own kids rather than work Chavs,
I'd rather have the small minority of foreign folks fresh off the boat we have here who tend to be quiet sociable families just looking for better working conditions with better pay.

MUCH rather, in fact.

There's always 2 sides to every coin and the idea that our perfect country is being spoilt by letting in mucky foreigners doesn't stand up when you consider our national fave dish now is curry, the stealing our jobs thing doesn't stand up when the majority do the jobs we hate, and the benefit fraud thing is surely a MUCH bigger problem amongst our own kind. That and I'm sure not ALL asylum seekers are lying.

I'm not saying let anyone in unconditionally, I'm just putting the case for the opposite side of the coin, giving you my experience, and pointing out some flaws in the 'send 'em all back' argument.

And as my animation points out, the vast majority of folks against them have never seen or met one and don't even know what one is, they're just knee jerk racists led by the media.
