I tend to mainly watch Hacking after the event as his shows rarely time with my availability.
Now he is about as pro immigrant as a Lawyer could be, but even he gets frustrated with the people who call in who clearly have fake claims, I am sure there are a lot less scrupulous Lawyers who will talk a client into the correct sort of application. They seemed to have dropped them recently but there have been plenty of examples on CNN/CBS/BBC etc where they have covered the caravans heading north and the people they have spoken to have not had legal advice, most do not seem to understand what asylum is supposed to be, seem to think it is just a term to be used that will get you in.
I can see why it was introduced 70? years ago, but it has become so corrupted as to be beyond a joke. And of course the few genuine cases get swamped by all the others.
