REGARDING your report: 'Refugees Head For Blackburn' (LET, April 4), this is a subject that makes my blood boil.

The only reason these 'asylum seekers' come to this country is because it's seen as the promised land, a place where they'll be given food, shelter and money the money.

I am not a fascist or a racist and I do have some sympathy for a small minority, but at the end of the day they are not our problem -- we have far too many of our own.
