In dinghies to the 'promised land', the British government helps asylum seekers

One of the most popular British newspapers, "Daily Telegraph", announces that the Ministry of the Interior and Immigration has given the opportunity to asylum seekers who came through the English Channel by dinghy, to work in the sector of care for the elderly, construction or agriculture.

Channel migrants have been granted this right tacitly, while they have continued to have access to hotels provided for their accommodation under the official housing scheme.

 About 16,000 asylum seekers have been granted this right to work by those who arrived in 2022, when the figure was higher at about 45,000 people and when Albanians were anathema to have invaded Britain.

These asylum seekers have been effectively given the right to work in sectors known to have the biggest shortages in the British economy and were paid up to 80 per cent of the official rate of pay, while if they earned more than the £49 a week they received in welfare they gave up this much given by the state.

Rishi Sunak is expected to face off in the House of Lords this week over his Rwanda plan as he calls for repatriation flights to start this spring in an election year, but the latest opinion polls show that 50 per cent of respondents have not belief that the Rwandan plan put forward by the government will curb the arrival of new migrants in rafts across the English Channel.

 Even this, according to them, will make them vote more for the opposition in the new elections this year.
