Migrant channel crossing deal.

You’re assuming they want to work here legally, they don’t.

That is one of the great unknowns. I have been reading up as best I can. There is limited research, but it shows that benefits are not a driver of illegal migration. That makes sense to me. People don't travel thousands of miles in terrible conditions, risking their lives, in order to claim benefits. These will mostly be people with drive and grit who want to better themselves through hard work. Like most immigrants have for hundreds of years.

Definately here to gett the benefits or why not just stay in France or Turkey or Italy, why come here to work hard. Knowing full well that they can't.

Let's just look at France, because that is closest. It is has been very frustrating trying to find detailed information about what support they receive. But this is what Google AI says:

In France, asylum seekers receive financial support in the form of the Asylum Seeker Allowance (ADA) and access to healthcare and accommodation, particularly in reception centers for asylum seekers (CADA). The ADA amount varies based on family size, and they are also entitled to social security benefits.

That doesn't sound much different to here.
