00:00What if we told you over 13,000 people came to the UK on work visas, then claimed asylum?

00:05This isn't a glitch. It's a growing loophole.

00:08In just one year, more than 13,000 foreign nationals entered Britain on work visas,

00:13then claimed they were fleeing danger.

00:16That's a massive jump from just over 9,000 the year before.

00:19And it's not just work visas.

00:21Over 14,000 foreign students and 8,300 tourists also claimed asylum after arriving.

00:27One major issue? The UK's new Electronic Travel Authorization System, or ETA.

00:33It was meant to boost border security.

00:35Instead, it's made it easier for people to enter, and then claim asylum.

00:39Some even used it as a backdoor to Ireland, hopping flights through the UK to seek asylum there.

00:45Jordanians, for example, went from 17 asylum claims to over 260 in just months,

00:50all after ETA rules changed.

00:53The system was supposed to make travel smoother and borders stronger.

00:56But now, it's being called a pipeline for abuse.

01:00Is Britain losing control of who gets to stay, and why?
