Lazerthegreat said:Who wants to claim asylum in UK after they have been granted asylum in another reasonable country (such as US, canada, germany)... I don't understand this.
Quite frankly UK seemed like a 3rd world country to me when I went there after living in USA...
Lazer. Very good question. The thing is in America when people get here, they have the notion in their head that they need to work to make a living. However in European countries, lots of refugees get Welfare from the government.
They get housing, clothes, money per month. In Germany, every legal german residents(including refugees) get 200 euros for the kids until the kid turns 18. It doesn't matter if you make 1 million or 1 penny..they still get the money. The govt also supplies residents with diapers etc for the kids. NO wonder their economy is bad.
What lots of refugees do in Europe is that they apply for asylum in lets say Germany and get a reisdent visa(2 years). They get welfare 200 euros from the govt every month...They go to a different european country and apply for asylum again and by law in europe they give you welfare even if your asylum is pending.
So theoretically you could apply for asylum in all european countries and receive $200 bucks from each one of them. To counter that, mostly european countries require that in order to receive the 200 in welfare, you visit them EVERY MONTH and show ID and sign. They match your signature and ID ofcourse.
The asylum system in europe is so broken that its pathetic. They hardly give anyone asylum there..but they give them 2 years or 5 years stay visa and then indefinte visa(in 10 years only if you are employed over poverty-line)
We should be thankful for America or else like in Europe they make sure you are not in the same level as a european national. To work in mall, you need to go to school to get a certificate. When I went to germany to visit my family long time ago, I told them I used to work in a bank during my early years and they thought i was PHD.
Its so sad how Europeans treat foreginers there..
The French riots that happened is a great example of how foreigners are being treated that they have to turn to violence to make a point.
