Legal aid should not fund asylum legal action.

He said a 'tiny majority' of refugees come to Britain and chose it as they may have family ties or know someone who can help kickstart their new lives after fleeing their own country.

Speaking from his home in East London, he vehemently denied that migrants were braving The Channel to take advantage of benefits systems in the UK.

'We had a harvest crisis during the pandemic so we had to fly in Romanians to pick our crop. No these people are not coming for our benefits.

'Five pounds a day for asylum seekers, what's that going to buy?

'I think this is a myth. I can name you 100 people I know who came from Syria who didn't take a penny from the welfare system and are all paying their taxes.

'It's a myth.

'You're perfectly within your rights to travel through safe countries and claim asylum in Britain.

'It's definitely not an invasion,' he said.

'It's ironic, Britain did invade Iraq and Afghanistan, but if Iraqis and Afghans now want to seek asylum in Britain then it's "not our problem" and we call it an invasion.

'British made bombs are being dropped on Yemeni people and if Yemeni decide to flee and seek asylum in Britain, it's "not our problem".

'I think the whole refugee and migrant issue is being exaggerated, it's being used as a distraction because one per cent of the refugee population is in Britain.

'I don't see any other country that complains about migrants like Britain does.

He added: 'Hundreds of thousands of Brits live in Spain, and south of France and Dubai and Vietnam why are they allowed to live there and people from Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan aren't allowed to live here? It's a myth.'

You can't just spaff this stuff out with no evidence.

Where is your statics showing that an increase in immigrants in the UK lead to "large increases" in murder for instance?

If you watch the Old Bailey daily and weekly case hearing records like I do, the number of immigrants before the Bailey for very serious crimes is frightening. Look to the ethnicity of our prison population. Denying a worrying level of the most serious crimes by immigrants is risible.

I was reading recently it takes 5 generations on average for migrants to the UK to earn the average income.

As for actual data relating to migrants and crime: https://assets.publishing.service.g...achment_data/file/741926/Final_EEA_report.PDF

Migrants may commit crimes but can also be the victim of crimes. Our report on ‘The impacts of low skilled migrants’ (2014), reported on research findings from Bell, Fasani and Machin (2013)181 (hereafter BFM) which assessed the impacts of two large waves of migration to the UK on crime: EU8 accession country migrants post 2004 and asylum seekers from the 1990’s/2000’s. No link was found with violent crime and migration (for either wave). However, areas with high levels of EU8 migration experienced slightly lower levels of property crime. This was explained by the fact that crimes are much more likely to be committed by individuals who are young, with low education and poor economic opportunities. Since EU8 migrants have both higher employment rates and higher average levels of educational attainment than UK-born, it is not surprising that they reduce the overall crime rate. Migrant victimisation rates were also assessed- but no evidence was found that any crime effects were a result of increased crime against migrants.

Conclusion: In line with earlier research, the new evidence suggests that EEA migration does not affect crime in England and Wales.

Make your mind up, because your evidence above is talking about Eastern european migrants, who are mostly part of the EEA.

Eh? His evidence is talking about immigrants as a whole. Not EEA only. It singles out EEA at the end to highlight they don't have these shared issues.
