More encouragement you mean? I would personally do it in France with their co operation and if the claims were proven valid then travel could be arranged.
Although those turned down would then give money to traffickers and make the hazardous trip anyhow.
And then posters on here would be complaining again.
How are they settling in at your place by the way?
Really needs a separate thread but your spot on Hilts. As i have pointed out in previous posts what we should have done is to
Allow applications for asylum in the UK to be made at Embassies abroad.
Register the asylum seeker on the Eu database as per the requirements of the Dublin Agreement. This means that if their application for Asylum in the UK failed they could then apply in the country of registration (we lose the benefit of that agreement tho at the end of this year)
Go through the screening process and either accept or not.
If they then attempt entry into the UK by crossing the channel our assumption would be that they are not asylum seekers but economic migrants and therefore do not have rights of protection under the Refugee Convention of 1951.
On the face of it ... its a fairly simple solution and one we used to operate. Why then did the Tories stop applications being made in Embassies?
Surely it's not to get their base wound up?
