I have problems with this because first of all, you don’t differentiate between people seeking asylum and people immigrating here. The latter come here as students and workers and the former come here to escape persecution in their country. The idea that huge swathes of criminals are flooding into the country isn’t true and has never been true. Do some people come to the UK and commit crimes? Yes. Do British born people commit crimes? Yes. Should either reflect on anyone but the individuals? No.
