Discuss the issue of Asylum Seekers in the UK.
It is problem in the UK that too many refugees from North Korea want to live there. In 2004, UK allowed the first refugee from NK.

And it is also used the way of illegal immigration by Chinese.
Some of refugees really need help from UK. But It has too many problems. So it should be forbidden. And the Korean government should to effort for refugees. The government has to educates and...
