WHY doesn't the Home Secretary Jack Straw MP instruct the police to send asylum seekers back where they have come from -- on the same vehicle -- or is this too direct?
Those who come here -- whether legitimately or not -- are escaping from poverty and are in danger of impoverishing us.
There are some who say all of them should stay, but these are probably the people who would employ the asylum seekers as cheap labour.
This country is overcrowded with people.
Would it not be better to hand each one a cheque and return them from whence they came?
This would enable them to set themselves up and start afresh.
Their presence is of little benefit to anyone, especially so the impoverished pensioner, who contributes by tax to meet the cost.
