If Finnish laws are anything like UK laws, then that's probably because they're asylum seekers, and their refugee status is either being reviewed or has been denied and they haven't been deported yet. In both instances they wouldn't be allowed to work in the mean time.
The process doesn't take 9 years here.

Robert Knolles, i've heard many similar stories here too. It makes me so angry that people that actually would provide for the government (i.e. work & pay taxes) are refused entrance. Yet people that have no education, means to provide for themselves etc are taken in. Bad business.
Fair enough mate I sympathise completely!
It just irritates me when I hear the same old anti-immigration rhetoric (not directing that at you, just in general) when fact of the matter is there are plently of jobs here in the UK -even more simply because of the number of immigrants here already - that just cannot be done by most native brits.
Also I don't think there's anything wrong with poaching intelligent and talented people from other countries though, get them to come and work here and make our country richer! Chinese that graduate abroad and return to China to work don't have to pay car tax as an incentive for them to return - it's not much but it's something and it shows that their government are concerned about it. We should be all over this if we want to remain competitive or perhaps the West really is doomed to decline.
Personally I think multiculturalism was the wrong approach, when you look to make friends with someone you study your similarities, not your differences. However I never really know how much to believe when it comes to the stories about unemployed immigrants sponging off the state, but then again I'm from York which is a white middle-class ghetto. I've been down in London for a couple of months and have encountered several people who can barely speak English!

It's not an assumption, it's a fact that everyone can see is happening but politicians are too afraid to say in fear of political correctness.
Whispering has the facts of what's happening in Finland, as if the same thing isn't happening here.
If some of the extreme left had their way, they'd let the whole world into the UK and make the taxpayer, pay for it.
I have no problem with students from Asia or wherever, that are studying on visas and trying to better themselves and and are self sufficient.
It's the ones that come here on false asylum seeker or refugee status and aren't real refugees. And ones that come here for the sole reason of getting benefits from the UK taxpayer when they will be eligible. They are the ones I'm talking about.
