  I couldn't agree more that people who do not need our support should not have it, especially as it would be at the expense of people who do need it, home-grown and otherwise. But it is the constant dribble or even wash of bitter and angry propaganda about "illegals" and "asylum seekers" which turn even the words into terms of abuse. And people will not discern between the ones who need us and the ones who will abuse us. Most people, because it is easier and safer, will see just the amorphous "them".
  
  I cannot understand how a term like "asylum seeker", redolent as it is with pathos and sadness, can have morphed into such a hideous term of abuse. That is not the fault of those who try to shaft the system, it is the fault of those who have exploited those actions for their own propaganda. Shameful.
