Just a note:
asylum seekers and immigrants are not the same thing - I'm astonished that so many seem to confuse the two. Asylum seekers are people who face persecution, imprisonment or even execution in their own countries through no fault of their own. Member states of the European Union have common policies with regard to their treatment. Immigrants are people who choose to come to Britain because they want to live here, whereas asylum seekers have little choice but to leave their own countries. The title of this thread implies that it is about asylum seekers not immigrants.
