Asylum Myth: Most asylum seekers are ‘bogus’
Fact: In 31% of initial decisions in 2002, the Home Office granted applicants refugee status or ruled that it was unsafe for them to return to their country of origin. Taking into account successful appeals and cases where the Home Office overturned its own initial decisions, up to 51% of applicants that year were finally successful.
The claim that most refugees are not genuine fails to recognise that the top countries of origin for those seeking asylum, namely Iraq, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Somalia and Sri Lanka, are torn by ethnic conflict, war, and oppressive regimes.
50% of asylum seekers are not bogus, the other 50% should be removed they are not entitle to asylum. Which is why they are removed.
