Asylum Seekers People who flee their homes in the face of persecution, or threats to

their lives, deserve compassion and support. Unfortunately for those

reaching the UK they are all to often greeted with more hostility and

treated like criminals. New legislation looks set to make things

worse.

Asylum seekers are all around us. They eat, breath and function just

like us, so why should we kick them out?

The dictionary defines "asylum" as a 'protection given by a government

to someone who has fled from their own country for political reasons'.

Therefore they are only in our country because they want to get away

from abusement they suffered in their own country. It's not wrong then

for someone to come in our country because they may get a better life,

is it?

However, survey's have shown that asylum seekers are treated as bad,

if not worse in this country, than in their previous one. And do you

know why?

Because polititions are more interested in spending money on so called

"more important things", than the lives of people. I don't know about

you, but that makes me disgusted. Just imagine someone caring more

about material things, than the lives of innocent children and adults.

God created this planet so everyone should live equally, and that no

one should be mistreated. So why should we kick out asylum seekers?

Because we are too damn interested in more in ourselves, rather than

other people.

asylum-seeking women were eager to fill the skills gap in th...

...money.

If this is all too much for the White trash of Mugland to take they

can always buggar of to some other country - like Kosovo or Albania

and leave us super spongers to take over this place.

Ahma Gonna Takova

This is what happened when an asylum seeker made something of her

life, when she came to England, and with the help of the government,

she succeeded. So why do the government want no more asylum seekers.

Well it is again because greed. They are too busy paying for material

possetions, that they can no longer support these asylum seekers.

I have not come here today just to give your mere facts, but to get

you to look inside your heart and see what you really feel is right.

I just want to leave you with this quote by Albert Einstein :

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity".

  • Refugee Asylum Seekers in Australia

    2331 Words  | 5 Pages

    Australia has had a long history of receiving individuals and groups who are seeking asylum as well as unfortunately a long history of turning those away who are perceived as different. (McKay,Thomas & Blood 2011).Even though the white Australia policy was abandoned decades ago it still lives on as a strong resonance in the conservative right of politics (Westoby & Ingamells, 2010). Community fear about Australia’s border seem easily triggered, which has prompted the term ‘paranoid nationalism’ to be used to describe the heightened refugee politics of the Howard years linked to discrimination and maltreatment of asylum seekers which still lives on today (Westoby & Ingamells, 2010). This paper will use the term asylum seeker to identify those who have arrived at Australian shores seeking refuge without a valid visa. I aim to consider throughout this paper this history of how asylum seekers have been constructed as the ‘other’ and to examine the role of public discourse and political, legal and media responses, such as the implementation of detention centres, as creating and reinforcing the position of asylum seekers as different and not belonging. It will be therefore argued that while we have come a long way from the treatment the Howard government gave asylum seekers, we have not come far enough. Two key areas being the use of ‘othering’ and the implementation of detention centres need to be challenged if we are to take the responsibility of providing refuge for asylum seekers seriously.

This quotation by Olara Otunnu explains that children are forced into becoming weapons of war.

    According to the 1951 Refugee Convention, refugee is a term applied to anyone who is outside his/her own country and cannot return due to the fear of being persecuted on the basis of race, religion, nationality, membership of a group or political opinion. Many “refugees” that the media and the general public refer to today are known as internally displaced persons, which are people forced to flee their homes to avoid things such as armed conflict, generalized violations of human rights or natural and non-natural disasters. These two groups are distinctly different but fall ...

  • Matthew Lister Refugee, And The Definition Of Refugees

    763 Words  | 2 Pages

    Those who do not fear persecution are not considered in this definition, for instance, people escaping from natural disasters, because they do not have a fear of persecution. In addition, even though the individuals do face persecution, they are not considered as refugees if they are not ‘on the basis of’ of one of the protected grounds. Even those who face persecution on the basis of a protected ground, they cannot be declared as refugees because they are not outside their country of citizenship. The most controversial notion is that those who have been driven from their homes but who have not crossed international borders, so-called ‘Internally Displaced Persons’ (IDPs), are not in the definition of refugee, even though they have all the characteristics of a refugee except that they have not crossed an international border. The UNHCR has played their part in helping such persons in the last thirty or so years, but has still not considered them as refugees which makes them hard to have full benefits of what refugees should get. Hence, Lister aims to portray that these restrictions have a rational
