I was trying to explain to someone that economic opportunity is not a basis for asylum. I used to work in immigration and had to explain to people they couldn’t claim asylum. The media unfortunately broadcasts every sob story
unless they snuck on board a ship headed to britain or something, there's just about zero reason for anyone to be claiming asylum on an island when there's a massive bit of land between their country and it.
I give it a month until they complain about being mistreated.
Hopefully this deters the economic asylum seekers and speeds up the process for actually helping the genuine ones who are actively fleeing warzones.
