At the moment we have a problem with Assylum seekers riding in on the Eurotunnel trains, and the government to proposing to fine the Eurotunnel consortium for each person found on the trains. The thing is that the holding facilities in France for these people are near the Eurotunnel freight terminals so the people just jump on a train and try to ride into Britain.
My concern is that we don't have enough resources to help these people, I mean our health service is crumbling through lack of funds, our rail network fell to pieces due to under investment. The sheltering of assylum seekers and then relocating them around the country is an expensive task, and I'm not sure that in the long term the current rate of assylum seekers entering the country is sustainable. Also we don't have enough jobs for the people already here so there is less chance these people will find work quickly
