Part 5/7:
Why Are Migrants Favoring Britain?
The Lure of Britain’s Welfare System
One of the core issues highlighted by critics like Christies is the perceived 'free-for-all' approach to illegal migration in the UK. Migrants arriving illegally reportedly receive numerous benefits, including clothing, housing, phones, pocket money, legal aid, and educational opportunities. Some even train in specialized skills like DJing without facing the usual barriers new residents might encounter.
Discrepancies Between Public Services
Christies argued that native British citizens often face longer wait times for healthcare and other services, creating a sense of unequal treatment. The perception that illegal migrants receive preferential treatment fuels frustration among the British population.
