"they're desperate for a free house and a lifetime wage without working."
they really aren't - the vast majority want to work and earn and contribute (similar to the vast majority of Brits do, but there are some that don't). The issue is the ones that are seen as not working and being housed are actually not allowed to work because their claims haven't been processed (see previous posts about the backlog) which means they cannot get the paperwork employers now require (and employing someone without paperwork in now a criminal offense), because they cannot earn they are put in temporary accomodation. Process the applications faster (and the vast majority are approved), get them able to work, fill the massive employment gaps in the economy, increase tax income, bobs your uncle - be better than spending £1.8million per person on a illogical scheme (Rwanda is apparently safe to send people to, but we have still accepted refugees from Rwanda in recent years) that is pure dog whistle politics that even those in charge now previously argued wouldn't work (James Cleverley) and was not worth the money (Rishi Sunak). But instead 'we' seem to be focussing on the apocryphal stories created by those that benefit by creating division.
