VeserrLegal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds
No claims as to how many people this method has actually helped claim asylum successfully, just some anecdotes. If staying on in work after coming to study here is so hard that they’re requiring international students to claim asylum in increasingly hare-brained schemes then that’s surely the Home Office opening themselves up to this stupidity instead of just making it easier to emigrate after studying.
This could well be just as pathetic an attempt at journalism by the BBC as their Panorama on ADHD diagnoses which completely fucked a load of people over who were genuinely suffering with the disorder.
You are assuming that the overstaying former students actually graduated, that they are employable, and able to find a job.
Sadly I interview many graduates who have somehow got a degree from a British university but are incapable of functioning in the workplace because they don’t speak English well enough.
Why are people moaning about consequences. If people have for example overstayed their visa then the consequences were clear to them. They likely didn’t do the process to extend it or claim citizenship hoping they get away with it. Maybe deporting on mass isn’t the answer but a forced system to reprocess these people for legal citizenship. It hurts the LGBT community to pretend they are gay. It’s hard enough being genuinely gay. The UK is too kind and needy to accept we don’t have resources or stable enough systems to support the legals let alone the illegals/process skippers. We need to manage the mass before helping our own
