Refugees are supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country!

Under international law refugees are supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country they come to. Therefore none should arrive at our shores! Not only thsat but Britain is overcrowded with 60,000,000 people we simply cannot take any more people!
