That critical mass is in large part made up of people who are "unproductive" and whose pensions (i.e. benefits) would be unaffordable without the taxes of immigrant workers.Why would they want to speed up the processing of applications, if according to many sources I find in the media, 80% of the asylum seekers have a valid claim and would get the refugee status. There is a critical mass of population in England specifically that do not want immigrants and asylum seekers no matter what!
