  • What is the difference between Migrants, Illegal Immigrants and Asylum Seekers?
  • Why are they here?
  • What rights do they have to work?
  • Do they get more benefits?
  • Can they get extra benefits e.g. vehicles?
  • What rights do they have to housing?
  • What rights do they have to the NHS?
  • Do they get let off if they commit a crime because they don't speak the language?
  • Do they have driving licences and do they have insurance for their vehicles?
  • Do they need less ID to get a bank account?
