My husband's hotel chain employs over a hundred asylum seekers as waiters/chamber maids etc. Many (I wouldn't say all) boast to him about the benefits they receive, to the extent that they are able to send all their wages home to their families. A lot of money is leaving the UK this way. Although they are mostly hard workers, their lack of English makes them very difficult to work with and unpopular with the guests. The hotels are forced to employ them, as the minimum wage has meant that they can't afford to pay the management any more than that.
