Don't they all?

They are already here. Being already here is nine-tenths of the law.

They will say, quite naturally, what ever they need to say.

In fairness, the Christian churches of European spent several hundred years forcing people to turn to Christianity, or killing them if they didn't, so it probably sounds a good bet as any.

And also, the "wrong sort" of Christianity.

This is about the Home Office looking for a way to dishonestly misuse the law to imprison asylum seekers.

just another example of this govts power grab over the law.

We are becoming a police state.

"Not proven that they intended to enter the UK illegally." Despite the journey through 10 countries with the UK at the very end of the line and them heading north towards the UK in a boat!

You could not make it up.

So don't land on a beach, turn the motor off and wait for a RNLI Uber to pick you up. The rest of the illegals will be texting their ilk on their free phones at this very moment.

We should be more like Hungary and lock those helping the illegals

Intolerant lot you are.

The law is the law and if wrong-doing cannot be proven or correct procedures are not followed, then people should not be incarcerated.

As for going though several countries, that is not a crime.

Stop being a bunch of xenophobes.

An asylum seeker has to stop at first safe country, so unless the EU country they came from was not considered safe, then they are not asylum seekers.

 

[JohnD]

has to

Where did you hear that?

 

[ericmark]

Clearly once out of the country where dangerous for them to stop, any ex asylum seeker will try to find a country which suits him, so if for example an English speaker he would want a country where they speak English, but once in first safe country he ceases to be an asylum seeker. And further moves he is an economic migrant.

Before we left EU there was some sort of agreement about sharing the load for asylum seekers, but that ended when we left.

There have been some silly rules which have been tried, like must speak English, even when the girl was from Patagonia, and spoke good Welsh, and was wanting to study in Wales.

please think about this, it’s not logical.

Your argument means that every single person leaving a country due to war or persecution has to stop in the neighbouring country.

It’s not the fault of the neighbouring country so why should they take responsibility?

What you are suggesting would destabilise the neighbouring country

Correct. More needs to be done to stop the profiteers of people smuggling and all the promises of milk and honey that don't actually exist. There will always be an influx of people to the UK whether they intended to come here or not and it's not down to the promise of £38 quid a week.
