A story about how illegal economic immigrants are giving a bad name to the true refugee
The true Refugee there tryin to flee A war its raw
they thank god For bringin them to safety
Passed through Italy and France
Through every safe country On the way here
the true refugee now has one thing on there mind
Make it to Great Britain
To get a place to live And benefits galore
there not satisfied you see With Italy, France or Germany
or any other safe country in fact
they want to live in Great Britain were the streets are paved with gold
and you know I don’t blame them
wanting to Live in Great Britain
The best country in the world
I would be the same in there shoes
but we cant take them all in
they should be processed from the country they land in
distributed around the world to take there fair share
and when the war is over
help them get back to there country of origin
help them rebuild there country in the best way we can
So yeah the true refugee
They were tryin to flee war Its still raw
There knockin on the door
Just change the law
Cos the illegal economic immigrant Is giving a bad name
To the true refugee
Who are just tryin to flee War
You know its raw
We all know the score
So there now in London
An overcrowded city
Lookin on the bank of the thames
Trying to make a new life
Yeah they’ve got a life
With no trouble and strife

Racism/bigotry on a Moss Side page... Good luck with that. by Mark Mcdonald
my responses and conversations
if you read it correctly it's not racist
'Why not stay in first country you land in?' and 'passing through Italy, France etc' are well trodden racist tropes. And 'benefits galore' really gives it away. Get real.
they do pass through every safe country. AND ITS TRUE they do get lots of benefits like free accommodation nhs and public services at no expense
You think we should let them walk the streets with no option of working and leave them to die if they fall ill or get hurt? Keep digging...
it's easy to make a sweeping statement of racist. In my post I have not mentioned race colour or creed the focus is on the Illegal economic migrant. Which if you cannot see that the word illegal . Then there's no point in your argument
You do realise that these 'illegals' you speak of don't get the help you mentioned? And how do you tell an economic migrant from a genuine refugee/asylum seeker?
prove to me that the illegal economic migrant does not get any help. With facts and figures. It is hard to distinguish the illegals from legals as when they come into the country they often dispose of any paperwork
I can see you have not responded so let me help you here are some facts .....You are exempt from paying for NHS healthcare if you are: granted refugee status in the UK. seeking asylum or temporary or humanitarian protection until your application (including appeals) is decided. receiving support from the Home Office under section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
Cash support
You'll usually get £49.18 for each person in your household. This will help you pay for things you need like food, clothing and toiletries. Your allowance will be loaded onto a debit card (ASPEN card) each week. You'll be able to use the card to get cash from a cash machine.
and there is many more facts. so your argument of labeling a racist and other comments does not hold up
Well, that's easy. As they are illegal, it means they have gone through the system and absconded. They then have to rely on charity, crime or black market work. The people you describe are economic migrants, refugees or asylum seekers that are going through our system and may become illegals if turned down. Now let's not continue to denigrate them. I'm sure your open mindedness can accept that.
i am very open minded. but surely even you can see that we cannot house the world. we are only a small nation
Of course, and we are not trying to do or doing that. We take in less than comparable nations and way less than plenty of others.
so going back to my post this was to highlight that the illegal economic migrant is giving a bad name to the true refugee. and is creating all sorts of problems and misconceptions of the poor people who have fled a war and that need genuine help. the word is ILLEGAL ECONOMIC MIGRANT
And you have pointed out the nhs support and weekly money they get (that goes down to £9 a week for those in barracks/barges/hotels that supply meals) but you appear to begrudge them that.

But, you do realise at least 70% of them get granted citizen status? And those refused get deported when it works properly? And stop ranting. It betrays your open mindedness.
that may be correct however this is not a rant it is a conversation. in which open minded discussion is welcome
It is around that figure and they say it goes higher when applications are rushed which both parties have pledged to do in the past.
it is a huge problem for the country and there is no easy answer. one thing for sure is that there is a huge burden on the tax payer. and housing, drain on resources
comment from another person Trevor Davies
you talk shit they all (95%) are illegal immigrants, deport the fooking lot of them, houses for the local kids were the fook are them??? WE ARE WYTHENSHAWE lets get twats like Andrew Alan Matthews (spell it CUNT) out of here. VOTE Reform it is the last chance for YOU young kids to make a home in Wythenshawe, rant over by Trevor Davies
I'm voting reform. There's no need to be abusive. also read the post correctly. Houses for local people who were born and bred in the uk I agree with. Stop giving homes and hotels to illegal economic imigrants. Before you blow your top I voted brexit and vote for reform. So you need to apologise for calling me a twat and cunt
Trevor Davies then deleted his post. enough said about that bloke.
