Will there be an amnesty in uk for assylum seekers?
Answer:
The Immigration minister Liam Byrne announced in the summer that there would not be a "blanket amnesty", but that they aimed to resolve all the outstanding old cases by 2011 - ie those that are currently here having been refused would either be removed, where possible, or have their situation regularised.
One of the problems has been that large numbers of people have been refused, even though the Home Office has accepted that it is too dangerous to send them back, or else the other countries refuse to accept them back. This has been the case with Somalia, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Zimbabwe, among others, but the situation is constantly changing.
There was an amnesty a couple of years ago for families, it has taken two years to almost complete, even though the number of cases was only around 30,000, so the target of dealing with all the old cases seems ambitious, since they can't even state how many cases there are, perhaps 250,000. In the family amnesty, it was for people that had been here since October 2000, there were strict checks for any criminal activity - one family I know was refused because of a relatively minor driving offence.
Amnesties have recently taken place in a number of European countries - in Spain they regularised 800,000. Eventually the situation of long-term refused people has to be sorted out one way or the other. Many of them have been here five, seven, even ten years, at the time they came they were given permission to work, so they are established here, they sign every month at immigration, they just need to be regularised.
With new asylum claimants, they are not allowed to work, their claims are processed very quickly, and they are given more rational decisions than before - if they can be removed, they are removed pretty promptly, if not they are likely to be given temporary stay. It's not quite the shambles it was before!
Hope this helps
No! Clear off!
Theres one now - go hand yourself in!!!!!!
Thought there already was as they come and do what ever they want
go back to were'ever you came from !
I think the loonatics have taken over the asylum, Hoi NO now go awayand seek else where
I hope not, why should there be?
I sincerely hope not...how many borders have they crossed to get here...far too many, but there aren't the benefits in those places to entice people to stay there....so they come here instead and live off our welfare system which the hard working taxpayer has contributed to.
The British taxpayer is being bled dry, and getting sick to the back teeth of all those spongers, so the sooner they are sent back to their country of origin the better.
There hasn't been talk of one. If there was an amnesty, the Daily Mail will tell us all well in advance through screaming headlines and outrageously biased articles.
My advice would be to buy the Mail and then you'll know if an amnesty happens (and you will also save toilet paper in the process).
No
Never
Not on my patch
lol
No. Mr Blair has made it quit clear, there will NOT be an amnesty for asylum seekers in the UK.
whats the point when it just gets abused
Why should there be?
So the Government should say fine you can all stay and the taxpayer picks up the bill?
Please stop playing the victim. You arent welcome, you have no right to be here so GO AWAY.
We dont want you here.
PROBERLY BUT NOT FOR YOU
I really doubt it, as too many countries joined the EU now and Britain doesn't need any more workers, or shall I say people on benefit
Kallico
So..as Mr B-liar has said there will be NO amnesty.
Means that we can expect one any day now.
