I'm pretty sure you'd agree that we should take in as many genuine asylum seekers as we can (and I'm pretty sure Defiant would agree as from what I see, he's against false claiments not genuine ones)
Once processed, as I said, these people would no longer be asylum seekers, they'd have been given asylum, they are genuine, actually fleeing persecution, people definitely in need.
Those with skills already (such as doctors) can be given the extra training/exams so that they can continue in the same field, those without skills can be given training so that they can enter the work force.
The money spent on trying to hunt down people who have dissapeared within the current system would be saved.
People wouldn't feel threatened by open centers filled with 200 single men being created on their back door.
Genuine asylum seekers would be processed much faster.
False asylum seekers would be processed much faster and returned to where they came from, sending a clear message that Britain will only take genuine aslyum seekers.
The great unwashed will know that these people coming out of the center and entering the work force are not scroungers, but genuine asylum seekers who have gone through hell.
Why do you scoff at such a suggestion?

I certainly dont scoff at it in theory. BUT the tories basically stuck this idea into there speeches as a vote winner as they know it is the one topic that everyone gets heated up about.
So when they go to this island......that doesnt exist by the way....there are reasons why islands in Scotland have noone living on them...... and start building houses and medical centres etc....and what will happen???? Defiant will moan about all the money being spent on them up there.
What money should be spent on is education of people in Defiants position as all he sees is Asylum Seekers getting more than him. Possibly if he was a bit more educated he would have a bit more compassion.
To be honest I dont think Defiant would agree about even people in genuine need......I have told him countless examples of what has happened to people coming to this country and why they have been branded "bogus" and he still refuses to move his stance.
