Economic Immigrants

One might think that the #Refugee Council cares about refugees & understands the relevant law. It takes a position on The Truth About Asylum, alleging that QUOTE There is no such thing as an ‘illegal’ or ‘bogus’ asylum seeker. UNQUOTE, that anyone can claim asylum anywhere that they fancy. Further that there is no such thing as an illegal asylum seeker. These are blatant lies.

The  #Refugee Council has nothing to say about economic immigrants, preferring to let us think they do not exist. Her Majesty's Government does tell us that they are out there - see Economic Migrants. It tells us that they might be here legally & even looking [ for  presumably honest ] work.

The Truth About Asylum
The facts about asylum

Asylum seekers are looking for a place of safety

• There is no such thing as an ‘illegal’ or ‘bogus’ asylum seeker. Under international law, anyone has the right to apply for asylum in any country that has signed the 1951 Convention and to remain there until the authorities have assessed their claim.
• There is nothing in international law to say that refugees must claim asylum in the first country they reach.
• It is recognised in the 1951 Convention that people fleeing persecution may have to use irregular means in order to escape and claim asylum in another country – there is no legal way to travel to the UK for the specific purpose of seeking asylum. (United Nations 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees)
• The top ten refugee producing countries in 2011 all have poor human rights records or ongoing conflict. Asylum seekers are fleeing from these conflicts and abuses, looking for safety.
  (UNHCR, 2011 Global Trends: Refugees, Asylum seekers, Returnees, Internally Displaced and Stateless Persons, 2011)
• In 2011, worldwide, 17,700 children applied for asylum having arrived in the country of refuge alone, with no parent or guardian. 1,277 of these applications were made in the UK. Many of them come from Afghanistan, which was described by UNICEF in 2010 as “the world’s most dangerous place to be a child”.
• Many refugees and asylum seekers hope to return home at some point in the future, if the situation in their country has improved.
• The 1951 Refugee Convention guarantees everybody the right to apply for asylum. It has saved millions of lives. No country has ever withdrawn from it.

Economic Migrants

Economic immigrants FAKE being Syrian to claim asylum in Europe
QUOTE
ECONOMIC migrants from Pakistan are FAKING being Syrian to claim asylum in the promised land of Europe, discarded documents metres from the Serbian border have revealed.

A huge influx of shameless migrants have lied about their nationality to be sure they have a better chance of crossing the European borders into countries including Britain and Germany. 

And passports buried in bushes just metres away from Serbia's border with Hungary provides evidence that migrant's fleeing poverty are dumping their own documents and, instead, posing as refugees fleeing raging war and persecution in Syria as the surest route to asylum.

It comes after Prime Minister David Cameron announced the UK would accept up to 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years.

Economic Migrant ex Wiki
An economic migrant is someone who emigrates from one region to another to seek an improvement in living standards because the living conditions or job opportunities in the migrant's own region are not good.^[1][2] The United Nations uses the term migrant worker.^[3] The term economic migrant is often confused with the term refugee, but economic migrants leave their country due to bad economic conditions, not due to fear of persecution on the basis of race, religion, or ethnicity.^[4]

Legality
People who intend to work in another country can obtain authorization to do so; some migrants may enter under false pretenses, such as tourism, or cross the border illegally (illegal immigrant). People who work legally in another country are often described as immigrants or expatriates.

Many countries have restrictions that prohibit people from entering the country to work unless they have been granted a visa which permits this. Persons who are believed to be trying to enter a country to obtain employment may be refused entry. Illegal immigrants and people who seek paid employment after entering the country without authorization to work may be subject to deportation.^[5]

The World Bank estimates that remittances totaled US$420 billion in 2009, of which $317 billion went to developing countries.^[6]

Advantages and disadvantages
There is much to be considered regarding economic migration: for the country the migrants are leaving, the country to which they are migrating, and the migrants themselves. With economic migration on a large scale, we often see that the majority of migrants are working age people. This places a strain on the country that the migrants leave; as working age people exit the country, the elderly population remains - thus straining the economy. However, the advantage to this country could be a release of pressure on the current job market and resources. Looking at the nation that the migrants enter, the inflow of migrants is a source of cheap labour. In some cases, the immigrants in the country are skilled and looking for specialized jobs. The inflow of migrants could also bring about cultural diversity.^[7]

Labor market
Over the past ten years, migrants accounted for 47% of the increase in the work force in the United States and for over 70% of the increase in Europe, as reported by the OECD in 2012. Migrants fill important niches in the labor market, and contribute significantly to labor market flexibility,, especially in Europe. Recent studies from the OECD report that immigrants are playing a crucial role in the labor market: In the U.S. immigrants made up 22% of entries in the fast growing occupations and 15% in Europe (healthcare, STEM, etc.). Immigrants are also highly represented in the slowest growing occupations, making up approximately 28% of new entries in the U.S. and 24% in Europe. In the United States, these occupations are primarily in production and other industries that domestic workers would consider unattractive; in the absence of demand for these occupations, immigrant workers fill these sectors. In regard to [gross domestic product], the OECD finds that in OECD countries, the inflow of migrants has not greatly disrupted GDP: accounting for less than 0.5% change in GDP in negative or positive terms. Exceptions to this are Switzerland and Luxembourg, which have approximated a 2% net benefit in GDP due to migrants.^[8]

European migrant crisis
Recent controversy over the European migrant crisis/ has sparked world interest in the effects of refugees and economic migrants. Over 700,000 economic migrants and refugees have crossed by sea to seek asylum in lands with economic stability. The countries attracting the most migrants are those with strong economies: Germany, Sweden, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.[9] Germany has received the most applicants than any other country in the European Union, with over 1,000,000 people seeking acceptance within its borders from January 2015 to November 2015.

Refugee Council ex Wiki
The Refugee Council is the United Kingdom's leading organisation working with refugees and asylum seekers. The organisation provides support and advice to refugees and asylum seekers, as well as support for other refugee and asylum seeker organisations. The Refugee Council also produces a large number of reports and educational material relating to refugee issues, and lobbies politicians and the media on these issues. The Council works in partnership with many other refugee organisations, including the British Red Cross, Scottish Refugee Council, Welsh Refugee Council, North of England Refugee Service, Northern Refugee Centre, and Refugee Action.^[1]

History
The Refugee Council originated from two independent organisations, British Council for Aid to Refugees (BCAR) and the Standing Conference on Refugees (SCOR), which were both founded in 1951 following the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. In 1981 these two organisations merged to form the British Refugee Council which was later renamed the Refugee Council due to the establishment of various other regional refugee councils.^[2] The Refugee Council Archives are held at University of East London, Docklands Campus.

Work
The Refugee Council's head office is in Stratford London. The charity's main activities are providing support and advice to asylum seekers and refugees themselves as well as to other organisations, undertaking research and policy work, and campaigning on behalf of refugees and asylum seekers. The Refugee Council is a member organisation of the Asylum Support Partnership and European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE). Support and advice

Refugee Council has received exemption from the OISC to provide immigration advice and holds the Quality Mark for advice work. Regional offices in London, the East of England, the West Midlands, and Yorkshire & Humberside provide services to asylum seekers and refugees including:

• Advice about where to apply for support, and help with applying;
• Information about the UK's 'dispersal policy';
• Information about other services which can assist;
• Help with problems with accommodation, racial harassment, physical and mental health; and
• Help with appealing against rejection of a UKBA support application.

These services are available either in the Refugee Council offices or on the phone.^[3]

Drop in services provide hot meals, food parcels, clothes and English classes, as well as advice and support.^[4]

In addition, the Refugee Council offers special advice to unaccompanied children, including children who are under 18 when they arrive in the UK and young people aged 18–21 who are caring for younger siblings. This specialist support includes

• Help obtaining legal representation, and guiding the child through the process;
• Accompanying the child to asylum interviews, hearings, tribunals etc.;
• Supporting the child during doctor's or social service appointments; and

In 2011 the charity launched a new Own Language Telephone Advice Service (OLTAS) providing free multilingual advice for asylum seekers and refugees.

Campaigning
In 2005, Refugee Council launched a campaign called Don't Believe the Type aimed at combating what they see as hostility and prejudice towards asylum seekers and refugees.^[5]

In 2008 Refugee Council formed the Still Human Still Here coalition with Amnesty International UK, Medical Foundation and over 40 other organisations, which is dedicated to highlighting the plight of tens of thousands of refused asylum seekers in UK and campaigning to end destitution of asylum seekers.^[6]

In 2011 the charity launched the Proud to Protect pledge which with the help of celebrity supporters gathered over 10,000 signatures.

In 2012 the charity launched the London♥Refugees campaign for the London Mayoral elections.
