They are not processed nor scrutinised until their cases are examined. Right now the UK operates with a huge backlog with the Home Office reporting it takes on average one to three years to process an application.

This wasn’t some nasty far right post more a critique of a shambolic system.
There is also a reported 647,000 unregistered illegal migrants (Asylum is not illegal) in the UK so those are people in British society without any right or checks carried out according to a GLA report.

Much of the back log is a direct result of twelve years of frustration by the current administration ( even prior to the b word and ending of freedom of movement)
Prior labour government was removing almost thirty thousand failed claimants EVERY YEAR however that doesn’t go with the current agenda does it .
Economic migrants ( unauthorised) can readily be removed however you do know the problem of removals often lies with the embassies and high commissions ( once an identify has been established) . Several countries including Pakistan and Nigeria are notorious for delay and obfuscation in the issuance of temporary travel papers, more so than the so called leftie lawyers and even more particularly sub Saharan countries require discussions with embassies in Paris and Brussels as they don’t have full commissions in London !
Ever been in Croydon on a Monday with queues of hundreds outside the immigration office reporting on their presence each week.
Ever considered how YOU would live on £47 per week and be prevented from working whilst your claims were processed .
Ever considered just because the home office/Serco has provided temporary accommodation in a hotel complex where you ARE monitored and that THE FOOD BUDGET IS UNDER £3 per day ( not the a l’a carte nonsense) is even humane .
Also another thing the government fail to tell people is those claiming asylum protections funding can be recovered from the UN .
The whole issue is complex yet the current system ( created by THIS administration is certainly broken and has a deliberate and malicious hole in the logic acknowledged by none other the Sue Ellen under parliamentary scrutiny. YOU NEED TO BE ON British soil to begin your claim unless you are Afghani, Syrian, from Hong Kong or Ukraine .
She couldn’t answer how else you could enter : the “ Legal and safe routes “ DON’T EXIST.
Syrians may make claims from Jordan and Lebanese camps run by the UN ( except if you are a British born young woman 😉
Certain Afghani people that worked with UK forces ( May be) able to make a claim outside the UK, Hong Kongers with a BO Passport may make a claim and enter (years after Canada provided them with protection and immigration opportunities) whilst the temporary resettlement of Ukrainian refugees is probably the most complex within Europe and many more have gone elsewhere. And the funding available for those that offer accommodation is simply that of the base UC rate.
Indeed their are documented cases of many Ukrainians simply giving up and going home.
