Pretty much any organisation or system that is designed to help people is going to be abused or taken advantage of by some. For instance certain Hizb ut Tahrir members who arrived with an asylum application and are now living on insane benefits.
But what is your solution? A cap on the number of asylum seekers that can be permitted refugee status? As if this alters the real situation with illegal immigration which is not refugees, but the hundreds of thousands of people who arrive with a passport or forged VISA to work as cheap labour for undeclared employers.

Didn't he once accidentally sneer his face off?
