Is the UK asylum system failing?

The Independent Asylum Commission has said that our asylum system is "shameful for the UK", "marred by inhumanity" and "not yet fit for purpose". In some cases we've denied sanctuary to those that need it and on the flip side we've failed to expel those who should leave. Is our current system humane? Does it need reviewing?

    Alfred from Essex says:

    Should put up a 'country Full' sign and have no more until we have absorbed those that have arrived in the past 10 years.
    More (legal) immigrants since Labour came to power than in the previous five hundred years put together - no wonder we are all fed up with it all.

    Does anybody remember not long age there was a story run in the Mail or The Express about Romanian Gypsies coming to the uk through our open borders.Getting health care ,houses and benefits.The usual lefty wooly hat,PC brigade and the Government.If you can believe anything they say.Called the story a pack of lies and racist.Well I must be halucinating because their here.Whole families of them begging and pickpockting on our streets.But then again they must be the highly skilled workers we need in this country.

    me from my office says:

    what system? I thought true asylum seekers sought refuge in the first 'free' country they come to, so how come they are trying to get here from France. Could it be the fact that we have a welfare state system that any one appears to be able to get help from by any chance??
