ANSWER
They can sit the test again and again and again until they pass. And that's a fact.  |
The asylum assessment system is flawed, but not in that way.
The problem is actually a complete lack of investment in infastructure. To get a job as an aslyum case assessor, you don't even need the standard 5 GCSE's. You have 1/2 an hour to assess each case and you follow a simple flow chart of questions and answers. Oh, and you live in London on the minimum wage - so its hardly a job the bright and the best go for.
The result is that undeserving people get through, but equally as obhorrant are when people are sent back for stupid reasons only to be murdered within days of their arrival. One girl was turned down for asylum because the assessor followed the flow chart and said she must be lying because if you are raped you must go to a rape clinic the moment you arrive in the UK.
The girl was 10 - I doubt she even know exactly what had been done to her. But because she was an easy target, she was stuck back on a plane and sent 'home'. They dragged her body out of a gutter a few weeks later. She had been tortured and raped repeatedly before they disembowled her.
The answer is not tougher immigration rules, but actually a more thorough system. For every story of a failed aslyum seeker in the UK, I can find a story of a genuine case deported. The issue needs careful consideration, proper investment, time. Not the xenophobic rhetoric of the Daily Mail
