There's nothing to say there are 100 genuine cases either!
Let's take your emotional argument a little further- there's nothing to say there aren't 1000s of genuine cases, maybe more.
Also in the interests of fairness if an asylum seeker can get a free £2 million mansion why not a person who has lived here all their lives? Even if they've never worked. In fact I fancy one myself.
Stick to facts, keep emotional exaggerations out of it(although I don't think even sticking to facts will help your case).
As for Daily Mail propaganda-the Con/Dems are for it, Labour is for it, the Leaders of all the parties have clearly supported it-you're running out of allies(and logical arguments).
