My partner works with asylum seekers. She asks what they want to do? Everything you can imagine. Academics /doctors/ police/ artisans/ engineers/ plumbers/ care workers, nurses, restaurants. In over 10yrs; not one has suggested they want to sit on their arses and claim benefits
As ever, as Muskies algorithm turns this thread into a vile racist shit storm... The best (and worst) of humanity expose themselves in a character limit tirade of compassion / empathy or ignorance... Your choice.
@timolarch Then why is there a lot of them doing exactly that?
@timolarch Great - let them enter through legal channels like the rest of us had to …. If they’re true refugees we have systems to help them; but if they’re just seeking a better economic life then please ask them to do the right thing.
@timolarch Are they already trained to do those jobs or do you want to give up British degree candidates spaces to preference them? Lots of applicants for medical degrees, vet degrees, dentistry currently get turned away.
@timolarch They wouldn't tell your partner their true intentions, they say what they think she/he wants to hear.
