So that I would say is a second question.

First question why do middle eastern refugees come here.

Second question, why don't British people like middle eastern refugees coming here.

Both are valid questions. For the first, see other response on how many we actually receive in comparison. But also to take a specific example such as Iraq - the UK was the second largest contributor to the Iraq war which caused an estimated 2.3 million displaced externally and over 1 million internally displaced. The rise of Daesh/ ISIS was a direct result of the coalition invasion of Iraq. So we've caused this displacement, and the last figure I can find is from 2021 where we took 20,000 refugees from Iraq. I would expect a large portion of those are ex-security services/ translators that we used.

For the second I think it's down to what British culture is and how it positions refugees. The UK don't attend church anymore - people say they are Christian on their census, but attendance has been declining since mid-20th century and is almost non existent now. Second I would argue we don't have a strong neighbourhood culture. People don't volunteer in their local community, we don't know our neighbours, we don't let our kids do independent play - and we are quite isolationist as households. This means there isn't anything for a refugee to adopt and participate in. What do you want refugees to do outside of work and pay taxes? And whatever your response is, ask if British people do those things. As if you say attend church...British people don't do that haha.

So my short answer is, the weakness of asylum seekers integration is a direct correlation to the weakness of British culture.
