If they are genuine then fair enough but not the ones that are looking just for free health treatment. As lettie says patients are turned down for drugs because they cannot be afforded yet they still spend the money on health tourists because its not "politically coreect" or convenent to say no. All those who fail should be returned as soon as the case is over which the way things are could be years. Sometimes children are involved and it becomes more complicated. There will never be an easy answer as at one time immigration was encouraged to make up labour shortfalls and has been around in one form or other since the days of the empire. We cannot fix overnight what has been around for hundreds of years without banging our heads in frustration. The questions that I think of under this situ are in no particular order;

1, If we did not have the welfare system we do would their be fewer?

2, Would the stance that the USA has with green cards help?

3, What would the world as a whole say if we just shut up shop and did a China or Japan of the 17C?

4, Is the govenment really doing enough to solve this problem?

5, Can we support mass imigration financialy without hurting essential services?

6, Are other countries doing enough for genuine cases or just parceling them to the UK.

7, Can we be sure that some of those sent back are not going to be harmed as they claim if the authorities get it wrong?

8, What about the children that have been born here while their parents fought for asylum?

9, Is the UK seen as an easy touch?

10, How much of this mess is down to human rights?
