My wife’s cousin is married to a Vietnamese woman . They’ve been married many years and lived in Saudi and then to Cyprus where they both got EU citizenship, whatever that is. They decided to retire and come back to live, in his case, in the UK. They were made to jump through so many hoops to get her right to remain, English language test, citizenship test, biometric eye test, etc. At a huge financial cost. She finally got it , then see’s so many of her country men turning up illegally on boats from France and having everything done for them. Its not just us who are angry about this; people who did the right thing are also very angry. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seagull 308 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago The question that needs asking is, if all these asylum applications are bogus then how are they convincing the authorities that they are genuine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They don’t have to convince anyone. They just have to say they are from certain countries where they are being persecuted. Even if their claim is refused they can’t be sent back to certain countries such as Afghanistan for fear persecution. Its a catch 22, they fail the asylum claim but we can’t return them. ECHR laws over rule ours . Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because their stories are obviously lies and they get caught out. If they say they are from Afghanistan and can’t speak any of the languages or can’t name the town or village they are from then they will be bogus and their claim rejected. If they say they are from Iraq but can only speak Albanian i’ts a bit of a give away ! LOL ! it really is that simple. Cheets. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 27,473 Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago When my son was an ECO he used to have us in stitches with the stories of bogus visa applications. One was a Bangladeshi who claimed to be a “cabaret singer “ and had a job waiting for him but couldn’t name the employer or company. My son asked him to sing Sinatras “My way” but he said he had never heard of it, he was then asked to sing any of his repertoire but couldn’t. He finally admitted he wanted to go to London and ask around the Indian restaurants for a waiters job. His application was refused…. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly, so, if they speak that language then chances are they are more than likely from the region they claim they are, and if they convince the authorities they are suffering from persecution then there's a good chance their application will accepted, no?

Seagull 308 Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago So, if we feel we should accept no asylum seekers, no matter their plight, then we either play hardball or we can go down the compassionate route with all the EU countries affected by it, it's really that simple isn't it?

And how would you put pressure on other countries? From my experience nobody gives a f**k about my house and family except me and nobody will ever have the best interests of it at heart other than me.

Of course. If they can convince the panel that they are in danger of persecution if they are returned, they will likely get asylum. If they can’t convince the panel that they will be subjected to persecution , their application will be refused. Thats when the lefty lawyers move in and start quoting ECHR laws and rules and the interminable appeals start. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
