More asylum seekers should be allowed in to the UK.
With low unemployment and a thriving economy, we could see soon see labour shortages.
Those who apply for political asylum or refugee status could immediately be issued with a national insurance number and a provisional work permit directing what kind of work they can do.
I wouldn't envisage any tax rises under this programme. The taxes paid by these provisional workers should make it self-financing.
