Foreign Nationals Exploit Asylum Claims to Settle in UK
United kingdom, United state
Leaked documents reveal that tens of thousands of foreign nationals entering the UK on visas are lodging asylum claims to stay permanently, exploiting loopholes in the system.
The majority of asylum claimants come from countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, and Afghanistan. Concerns about abuse of the visa system, human rights laws hindering deportations, and calls for stricter immigration measures are highlighted.
The surge in asylum claims within a year of receiving visas raises suspicions of planned permanent settlement. Government responses emphasize crackdowns on abuse and the importance of maintaining the integrity of the visa system.
