1) Not all asylum seekers are legal immigrants. Legal means you have obtained an entry visa before crossing the border.
2) Even huge amounts of legal asylum seekers can end up straining the already thin welfare state, so it's only normal that taxpayers paying for the welfare state, ask their politicians "where are you goanna house all these newly arrived asylum seekers when even citizens and taxpayers are struggling with housing?" or "how do you know all those unvetted people you're letting in aren't criminals or if they're compatible with our culture and values so that we and our children can feel safe in public?"
So when politicians provide no answers to those questions, how are you surprised voters aren't taking this well and choosing the extreme right?
1) no it means legally seeking asylum under the legal process
2) Maybe build more housing? Maybe hire some of the new immigrants to build more housing. They're not unvetted because they are going through a vetting process. Statistically we know most aren't criminals.
