"People who don't qualify for protection as refugees will not receive refugee status and may be deported.’"

So, all those arriving from across the Channel then. Glad we agree that they all may be deported. And obviously that also means all should be deported.

However it is the first time I've ever heard someone suggest that those with no permission to cross the border into another nation, whether they admit to not being refugees/asylum seekers or whether they are lying claiming to be so (clearly lying because they were already safe before crossing) are not acting illegally. One hears some strage things about law, but that would take the biscuit, were it true. So, no, I don't believe it, as were it so the government would have corrected the massive loophole decades & decades ago.

...strange...

And so many of them fleeing for their lives leave their wives and children in peril.

Or they’ve decided to Gay is the thing to be

[netibiza]

So would I if that was my only choice!!

[Bobbisox1]

That’s if they were being persecuted for it, and that would need to be proved

[Bobbisox1]

And I really can’t see all these young men who come over in boats to get here….are gay!!

//Hymie, that’s nonsense. People who don’t qualify are clearly bogus.//

But you cannot determine whether they qualify for refugee status until you process them.

Just because the Daily Mail/Express says that they do not qualify, does not count.

With regards the asylum seekers passing through any number of ‘safe’ countries, the UNHCR says that they are permitted to do so, and are not required to claim asylum in the first ‘safe’ country they enter – what is so hard to understand about that?

[Bobbisox1]

Given the chance would you and people like you who believe that they should be welcomed here, take one or two in your home, feed them and clothe them ? To take the burden off the tax payer ,would you Hymie?

[10ClarionSt]

I answer to the OP; it's because they know that the Royal National Lifeboat for Illegal Immigrants will come along and save them.

[Hymie]

If it’s all about the money – then the government should process the asylum seekers expediently, and save loads of taxpayer dosh, but for some reason they are not doing that.

[bednobs]

i honestly dont get what all the fuss is about. These are people who are already being housed in hotels (where they aare already free to come and go as they like) whilst awaiting the outcome of their application. Housing them on the ship is a bid to save money, and unrelated to the bigger issue about small boats and immigration. These people are already here, and just moving accommodation. If people are getting their knickers in a twist,i dont know why they werent doing it before

Bednobs, in short, all that’s happening is ,they’re putting a Elastoplast over the problem because if they’ve vacated the hotels to move to the barge then the next thousand will take their places in said hotels, it’s certainly not cutting down the numbers arriving weekly

[1ozzy]

The last time the UK put unwanted people on a barge they ended up sending them here!!

Not this time suckers ;-)

[Bobbisox1]

Sharon I feel for the person in your link , his fear must be very real ,the ones I have no sympathy for are people like the Albanians, Albania has no conflict going on neither has India and Africa, we give millions in aid to India yet they want to come here illegally?
