Right-wing extremists from those in the British National Party (BNP) to France’s National Front and the Danish People’s Party are profiting from concerns about the alleged increase on the part of asylum-seekers.Yet they are not’swamped with foreigners, according to the far-right claim that asylum seekers are being’swamped’, there’s a noticeable reduction in asylum requests throughout Europe.Le Pen is mightier than the sword, EU.Latest data from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) has shown that asylum requests submitted by asylum seekers in UK and France declined by between 20% and 7% between January and March of this year, when compared to the previous 3 months in 2003.
