Asylum is a Scam

Asylum is used to get around normal immigration controls. Britain has an eleborate and costly (to the taxpayer) legal system involving lawyers, NGOs. tribunals, and translators. But this system can only be accessed from inside the country. Consular officials know this, so they'll not give visas to applicants who they suspect of wanting to take advantage of this system. But visas aren't necessary for entering the UK on uttering the magic word "asylum". Except that the Government acted swiftly to demand visas of Ukrainian women and children. So why on earth can't it require all asylum seekers (mostly young men exploiting this means to get around normal immigration controls) to have visas before entering the UK?
