面對這些問題，其實也可以經由行政層面解決的，只要增加人手不單在數量上增加，而是在文化上增加，提升香港人的水平，以迎合一個國際基本人權公約的行政水平。
Such problems can actually be solved through administrative means and what the Government should do is to increase the manpower―not only quantitatively but also to promote the culture of Hong Kong people in order to meet the administrative requirements under an international convention on basic human rights
就是在這兩年間，政府過於懶散，只是一拖再拖，問題一天未發大，他們也不會處理。
The excessive tardiness on the part of the Government in these two years has further delayed the whole process and the problem has not been properly dealt with until it has become too serious
嚴格而言，如果以建制派的角度，這問題是不應該在香港出現的，因為他們並不把香港視為國家成員國，類似國家擁有實然主權身份，這根本便是一個問題。
Strictly speaking from the perspective of the pro - establishment camp the problem should not have emerged in Hong Kong because they do not regard Hong Kong as a member state which has de facto sovereign power enjoyed by a country and this is a problem in itself
由於全球趨勢向右轉，不論德國、美國和英國等擁有民選制度的國家，它們的總理、總統也面對着社會上的壓力，要求他們處理難民為社會帶來的問題。
As the global trend has now made a right turn prime ministers and presidents of all democratic countries like Germany the United States and the United Kingdom are facing tremendous social pressure and have to deal with the social problems brought about by refugees
這些國家要處理的便是政治問題，因為它們本身是國家，但香港為何要處理呢？
This is a political problem faced by such countries since they are all sovereign states but why is it necessary for Hong Kong to deal with the problem?
因為，我們本來也是一個有實然主權，類似國家的地方，擁有自己的司法管轄權，擁有獨特的行政程序，是與中國大陸截然不同的。
This is because we do have de facto sovereign power and Hong Kong is a place similar to a country . Hong Kong is completely different from the Mainland China as it has its own jurisdiction and its unique administrative procedures
那麼，在這種說法之下，我們為何需要處理這個問題呢？
Under such circumstances why is it necessary for us to deal with this problem?
說來說去，也是由於我們的特首並非由普選產生，當面對這些問題時，他便會說香港可以隨便脫離國際人權公約。
After all it is because our Chief Executive is not elected by universal suffrage and hence when problems arise it will be very easy for him to say that Hong Kong may withdraw from any international conventions on human rights at any time
請大家不要發笑，這說法其實便是把香港倒退到一個連殖民地也不如的狀況。
Please do not laugh for this implies that Hong Kong will regress to a state which is even worse than a colony
可以成為公約中國際成員國的身份，其實便是香港作為一個文明地方的認證；如果要退出，便等於向世界各地表明香港是在正式倒退。
Hong Kongs status as a member state of an international convention is in fact a recognition that Hong Kong is a civilized place and if we withdraw from the convention we are in fact announcing to the world that Hong Kong is going backward
所以，在權衡行政和政治問題兩方面，我認為後者是較為嚴重的。
Hence I have weighed the likely impacts of the administrative and political problems involved and consider those of the latter more serious
我們不可以看着香港由一個本來擁有獨立制度的地方，退化成中國其中一個城市。
We cannot let Hong Kong go backward from a place which has its own independent system to one of the ordinary cities in China
主席，張超雄議員的修正案基本上將原議案所有內容刪去，根本是全部修改。
President the amendment proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG basically deletes all the contents of the original motion . He almost amends every word in it
但是，更重要的是，因為他說，看到其他一些國家難民聲請的確立率很高，香港的情況卻不足1%，於是他有所質疑。
However more importantly he said that the substantiation rates for refugee claimants in certain countries are high while the rate in Hong Kong is less than 1 % . He therefore raised a query in this respect
他更說澳洲有33%，英國有40%，別人的確立率很高，所以，社會裏應該有很多真難民，他們不是濫用我們的機制。
Pointing out the substantiation rate in other countries in which the rate in Australia is 33 % while the rate in the United Kingdom is 40 % he then considered it true that there are many genuine refugees in the community and that they are not abusing our system
既然是擺事實，講道理，那麼我要指出請大家看一看聯合國的一些資料，所反映的是現在最多難民或尋求庇護的國家排名，分別是敘利亞、阿富汗、索馬里、蘇丹、剛果等國家。
As we give our speeches based on facts and justifications I wish to refer Members to information from the United Nations about countries having most refugees or people seeking refuge namely Syria Afghanistan Somalia Sudan and Congo and so on
但是，我們亦看到來香港尋求酷刑聲請的人士所來自的地區，根據多份報章，包括《東方日報》等詳細報道，有兩成聲請者來自印度、越南；有一成九來自巴基斯坦；一成二來自孟加拉，亦有一成來自印尼。
However with regard to countries of origin for torture claimants in Hong Kong according to the detailed coverage in many newspapers including the Oriental Daily News 20 % of them came from India and Vietnam 19 % of them from Pakistan 12 % from Bangladesh and 10 % from Indonesia
普遍就這數個地區來說，當然，我們不可說這些地區一定沒有戰亂或遭受迫害。但是，如果我們看看聯合國難民專員公署提供的數字，很明顯，跟我剛才說的數個國家，即敘利亞、阿富汗、蘇丹或剛果等這類國家，情況似乎有所不同。
Regarding these regions we of course cannot generally assert that these places must be free of war or persecution but as shown by figures from United Nations High Commission for Refugees the situation in these regions are obviously different from those countries mentioned by me just now such as Syria Afghanistan Sudan or Congo
現在來香港的難民，是否真的來自有戰亂的地方，或者真的有遭受迫害的情況？我相信大家可以作出判斷。
I trust that Members can judge if the refugees in Hong Kong are really from war zones or have suffered from persecution
我聽到他的同事楊岳橋議員附和他，表示看到聲請個案減少，所以，大家不要看得這麼嚴重。
And I heard that another Member Mr Alvin YEUNG has shared his views saying that the number of claims has dropped . Therefore he said we do not have to take this too seriously
這同樣是將邏輯倒轉來說，聲請數字有所減少，原因就是過往我們民建聯或其他建制派同事，一直督促保安局及政府當局採取措施和行動而致。
Both remarks have reversed the logic . The number of claims has declined because we Members belonging to the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and other pro - establishment Members have been pressing the Security Bureau and the Administration to carry out measures and take actions including joint operations against illegal entrants between Hong Kong and the Mainland
如果按照泛民主派的邏 輯來說，"假難民"問題不是很嚴重，根本不需要花太多心機處理，甚至乎不需要處理。
If we follow the logic of pan - democratic Members in which they consider that the problem of bogus refugees is not too serious then we simply do not have to put in too much effort to handle the situation or we do not even need to deal with the matter
這點正好突顯我們跟泛民之間的分別。
This argument has demonstrated the difference between us and the pan - democrats
其實很多泛民議員的看法跟毛孟靜議員的看法有點相似。但是，我覺得比較奇怪的是，毛孟靜議員在她的修訂裏面同樣地，基本上修改了整項原議案。
In fact many pan - democratic Members have similar views as Ms Claudia MO but I feel strange that Ms Claudia MO has also proposed an amendment that almost completely rewrite the original motion
至於最令我感到奇怪的是，她居然在她的修正案或發言裏面，將所有責任推給中央政府，誣蔑中央政府把非法入境者推入香港，我覺得這是錯得離譜，她根本是包庇"假難民"，完全沒有意思處理這個問題。
The strangest thing is that she has gone so far as to blame everything on the Central Government in her amendment or remarks . She defames the Central Government for pushing illegal entrants into Hong Kong . I believe this is totally erroneous
所以，我要在這裏以正視聽，主席，並我希望大家清楚知道，"假難民"這個問題已經困擾香港人多時。
Therefore I have to get the understanding back on the right track . President I also hope Members can realize the problem of bogus refugees which has bothered Hong Kong people for long
故此，我要再次重申，這問題連累很多本地守法的少數族裔，令他們飽受誤會和被錯誤標籤，所以要還他們一個公道。
Therefore I have to reiterate that the problem has affected many law - abiding people from ethic minority groups in which they are frequently misunderstood and wrongfully labelled . So we must do justice to them
政府必須做好這方面的工作，打擊"假難民"，處理這件事。
The Government must get this done against the bogus refugees and deal with the matter
主席，我們今天討論這個問題，是一個現實問題，放在眼前的問題，不是一個理論問題，任何狡辯，都是辯不清這個問題的實質。
President the problem we discuss today is a very real problem . It is a problem right before our very eyes not a theoretical one . No sophistry can blur the true nature of this problem
每一次討論這個題目的時候，一定有一些義正詞嚴、大仁大義的聲音表示，要人道對待難民。
Every time when we discuss this topic there will surely be some righteous voices asking for humane treatment to refugees
我想在這裏說清楚，我們從來沒有反對人道對待難民，我們現在要討論的是"假難民"。
I want to state clearly here that we have never opposed any humane treatment to refugees but what we are now discussing is the problem of bogus refugees
所以，我希望泛民同意這一點，不要混淆視聽，不要站在道德高地說空話，首先要弄清楚實質的情況。
I thus hope that pan - democratic Members can recognize this point and first get all the facts straight rather than confounding right and wrong and giving empty talks on the moral high ground
政府在2014年推出免遣返聲請統一審核機制，提出申請人數自此大增，而且出現濫用審核程序的情況。
In 2014 the Government introduced the unified screening mechanism for non - refoulement claims . Since then the number of applicants has surged and abuses of the screening procedures have emerged
根據保安局局長指出，統一審核機制實施後，提出聲請的人數大幅增加，增加了3倍多，每月平均有440人。
According to the Secretary for Security since the implementation of the unified screening mechanism the number of applicants has increased drastically and more than trebled averaging 440 cases per month
截止2015年年底，累積11,000宗個案等候審核。
As at the end of 2015 there was a backlog of 11 000 cases pending screening
根據我的理解，他似乎是歸咎於入境事務處人員工作緩慢。
As I can understand from his words he seems to attribute this to the sluggishness of the staff in the Immigration Department ImmD
但是，根據政府的表述，這卻是由於很多難民或酷刑聲請者不合作，不肯提交文件，不肯提交證據，甚至乎裝病不去見審核官，不提交所有有用資料，令審核程序無限期拖長。
However according to the Government this is because many refugees or torture claimants were uncooperative unwilling to submit documents and evidence and they even feigned illness to avoid seeing screening officers . They did not submit all the useful information thus indefinitely prolonging the screening procedures
保安局同時指出，有70%的聲請者，是在被警方或入境處截獲或拘捕後才提出聲請，抗拒遣返。
The Security Bureau also said that 70 % of the claimants lodged their claims only after being intercepted or arrested by the Police or ImmD
這種做法不難令人聯想到，這些聲請者是為了逃避法律責任，濫用程序，務求可以留在香港。
It is thus only natural for people to think that such claimants actually intend to abuse the procedures so as to avoid legal liability and stay in Hong Kong
他們留在香港等候審核，短則兩三年，長則十年八年， 在一些個案中，聲請者甚至乎在香港結婚生子，他們很多都是看中審核程序複雜和長時間，來香港做"黑工"，獲取經濟利益，打算賺到多少便多少。
Their stay in Hong Kong pending screening can be two or three years or even eight or ten years . In some cases some claimants even get married and give birth to children in Hong Kong . Many of them know that screening procedures are complicated and prolonged so they come to Hong Kong to take up illegal employment in an attempt to get as much financial gain as possible
根據法例，這些提出免遣返聲請人士在逗留香港期間，可以取得"行街紙"。
In accordance with the law while staying in Hong Kong these non - refoulement claimants can obtain going - out passes
本來當局規定他們不可以工作，但基於人道理由，他們會獲得特區政府提供的經濟援助。
As required by the authorities they cannot take up any employment . Nevertheless on humanitarian grounds they are provided with financial assistance by the SAR Government
按現時援助計劃，每名聲請者每月可以獲得3,000多元的生活津貼，其中包括超市食物券、租金津貼、交通津貼等，這些都是用納稅人的錢來支付的。
Under the existing assistance programme each claimant can receive a living allowance of more than 3,000 which includes supermarket coupons rental subsidy and transport allowance and all these are paid by taxpayers
事實上，更為嚴重的是，我們經常看到報章揭發"假難民"做"黑工"的報道，包括地盤工、洗碗工、搬運工、清潔工等，在這些行業不難找到他們的蹤影。
Actually what is even more serious is that as frequently revealed in press reports many bogus refugees have been engaged in illegal employment working as construction site workers dish - washing workers porters and cleaning workers . It is not hard to find them in these occupations
如果想找他們的話，實際上並不難，如果泛民同事質疑這種說法的話，可到偏遠地區，看看從事物流工作的，例如拆箱等，有多少是這類人士，或者晚上在果欄附近當搬運工人的，有多少是這類人士。
It is actually not difficult to find them . If pan - democratic Members have any queries about this they can go to remote areas to see how many logistics workers such as devanning hands are people of this sort . Alternatively they can see for themselves how many porters working around the Wholesale Fruit Market at night are people of this sort
其實很容易找到，不要"離地"說一些維護他們的說話。
It is actually very easy to find such people . They must not ignore the reality and speak in defence of such people
難民來香港做"黑工"，不單影響本地基層工人的就業機會，還引發很多治安問題，所以，我們強烈要求當局要加強執法。
Refugees taking up illegal employment in Hong Kong will not only affect the employment opportunities of local grass - roots workers but will also cause many law and order problems . Therefore we strongly request the authorities to step up law enforcement
除了"黑工"問題，"假難民"引起的治安問題，日益令人憂慮。
Illegal employment aside the security problems caused by bogus refugees are getting more and more worrying
根據保安局數字，獲擔保外釋的非華裔人士，因干犯刑事罪行而被捕的人數有顯著增加的趨勢，由2013年的608人，增加至2015年的1,113人，當中絕大部分是免遣返聲請人士。
According to the statistics from the Security Bureau there was a rising trend in the number of non - ethnic Chinese persons on recognizance arrested for criminal offences from 608 people in 2013 to 1 113 people in 2015 and most of them were non - refoulement claimants
這些"假難民"除了增加香港財政負擔，亦跟香港基層市民爭"飯碗"，甚至構成治安威脅，加強執法只能夠治標，未能治本。
Not only do these bogus refugees add to the financial burden of Hong Kong but they also pose a threat to law and order . And stepping up law enforcement is only a palliative measure
歸根究底，審核手續繁複是原因之一。
After all one of the reasons for the above is the complicated screening procedures
但是，由於香港很多維護他們的人士，包括一些政客、一些社工，甚至乎法律界中一些涉及相關利益的人士，令"假難民"認為香港有他們的庇護傘，想來香港獲取經濟利益。
However since many people in Hong Kong jump to their defence including some politicians some social workers and even some people with vested interests in the legal field bogus refugees think that they can make use of the protective umbrella in Hong Kong to further their financial interests
有些"人蛇"集團看準這個漏洞，安排他們來香港當"假難民"並提供律師服務，從中謀利，有些人來香港時已經有香港律師的卡片，明顯是早有預謀。
Seeing this loophole some human smuggling syndicates reap profits by arranging them to come to Hong Kong as bogus refugees and providing legal service to them . Some people already have the business cards of some lawyers in Hong Kong when they arrive and it is obvious that this is premeditated
"假難民"問題對香港造成各方面的影響，包括財政承擔，工人"飯碗"和治安等，這些濫用程序來香港獲取經濟利益的人，當然有責任， 但一些為了政治目的而守護他們的政客，亦應該為這事負上責任。
The problem of bogus refugees has impacted Hong Kong in various areas including financial burden employment opportunities of local workers and law and order . People who abuse the procedures to come to Hong Kong for economic interests should of course be held responsible . But some politicians who defend them for political purposes should also be held responsible
我們促請政府認真考慮設立禁閉營這項提議，至少要他們交出所有有用的資料，讓政府可以先查核他們的身份，才讓他們離開禁閉營。
We urge the Government to seriously consider the proposal of setting up detention camps . They should at least submit all the useful information to the Government for verifying their identity before they can leave the detention camps
周浩鼎議員，你還有1分46秒作發言答辯。
Mr Holden CHOW you still have 1 minute 46 seconds to reply
主席，在議事堂連續兩天的辯論中，我們可以清楚看到，泛民主派議員基本上是反對打擊"假難民"。
President during the debate held in this Chamber for two consecutive days we can see clearly that pan - democratic Members are basically opposed to the idea of combating bogus refugees
他們的說法只是為了繞一個圈包庇"假難民"，高舉人權旗幟，卻漠視了現時嚴重影響香港的問題。
They just kept going round in circles to connive at bogus refugees holding high the banner of defending human rights but turning a blind eye to the problem which is seriously affecting Hong Kong now
我終於明白為何泛民主派議員會包庇劉小麗議員、游蕙禎和梁頌恆，原來凡遇有嚴重犯錯的人，當我們要求執法時，他們便會拿出擋箭牌，包庇他們。
I finally understand why pan - democratic Members would connive at Dr LAU Siu - lai YAU Wai - ching and Sixtus LEUNG . Whenever the Government is asked to take enforcement actions against persons who have made serious mistakes pan - democratic Members will put up all kinds of excuses to connive at them
我記得前一段時間，陳水扁因貪污被政府控告，也是高呼受到政治迫害。
I remember that earlier on CHEN Shui - bian was prosecuted by the Taiwan Government for corruption but he cried out for justice and claimed that he had been subject to political persecution
我現在終於看到，原來很多泛民主派議員都是陳水扁的翻版。
I now finally realize that quite a number of pan - democratic Members here are actually clones of CHEN Shui - bian
今天我們再次看到，他們為了掩飾不想打擊"假難民"，不想處理這問題的意圖，於是便誣陷我們，指我們"一竹篙打一船人"、歧視，但說來說去......
Today we can see once again that in order to cover up their unwillingness to combat bogus refugees and tackle the problem they have falsely accused us of tarring all claimants with the same brush and discriminating against them but no matter how they put it
也是掩飾他們自己的想法......
they are just trying to cover up their real intention
為何這不是規程問題？
Why is it not a point of order?
周浩鼎議員，你是否想作出澄清？
Mr Holden CHOW do you wish to elucidate?
我在發言中表示看到很多陳水扁的翻版，但大家無須對號入座，我並沒有指名道姓；如他們喜歡對號入座，請悉隨尊便。
I have said in my speech that I could see many clones of CHEN Shui - bian here but there is no need for Members to make it personal since I have not named them directly
我想指出最後一點，"長毛"剛才說如有"黑工"便應拘捕僱主，又說這是因為沒有標準工時，問題都在僱主身上，不應打擊"假難民"。
There is one last point I would like to make . With regard to the problem of illegal employment Long Hair has pointed out earlier that actions should be taken to arrest employers of illegal workers and that the problem is caused by the absence of standard working hours . It seems that instead of combating bogus refugees it is the employers who should bear all the blames
所以，不管是甚麼事情，他們都要抵賴，香港沒有普選亦抵賴在中央政府身上。
Hence no matter what they will only try to deny their responsibility just like the case of shifting the responsibility of no universal suffrage in Hong Kong onto the Central Government
更何況，今天我們討論的是，如果我用英國的發展情況來說，只有以言入罪的罪行才能獲豁免，即不會用曾經發表的言論作為呈堂證供。
Furthermore if we take it from the perspective of developments in the United Kingdom we are in fact talking about making exception only to speech offences which means that no word spoken in the legislature will be used in evidence in such cases
是涉嫌收取黎智英的"黑金"而沒有申報，這種罪行並非以言入罪的罪行，主席。
The alleged failure to disclose his receipt of black money from Mr LAI Chee - ying . This is not a speech offence President
主席，說到這裏，現在已能分辨清楚，以言入罪的罪行，與"長毛"今天涉嫌收取黎智英"黑金"而沒有申報的這種罪行是兩碼子的事。
President up to this point we can readily distinguish that the offence allegedly committed by Long Hair in receiving black money from Mr LAI Chee - ying without disclosure is definitely not a speech offence
如果按照英國的發展方向，我認為應讓律政司申請在法庭上使用這些關乎曾在立法會發表的言論，甚或是曾發生的情況的文件，供用作推斷一些事實。
If we follow the United Kingdoms direction of development in dealing with these documents relating to words spoken or circumstances surrounding the Legislative Council I believe we should grant leave in response to DoJs application to produce such documents in evidence for inferring certain facts
主席，我今天早上已說過，我經常想起陳水扁被控貪污時表示，政府控告他是政治迫害。
President as pointed by me this morning I always recall the claims of political suppression made by CHEN Shui - bian when he was charged for corruption
聽過多位同事有關"假難民"的辯論後，我心中想，這項討論是一面照妖鏡，究竟哪些人緊張香港的資源運用，哪些人慷納稅人之慨，哪些人真正關心香港，大家一目了然。
After I have listened to Members speeches on bogus refugees I think the debate can serve as the Foe Glass showing clearly who really care about the use of resources who want to be generous at the expense of taxpayers and who have a genuine care for Hong Kong
"假難民"的問題在社會上鬧得熱哄哄，是因為有人認為"假難民"之所以成為問題是基於傳媒的炒作，但亦有人認為"假難民"牽涉人道主義的問題，所以應該盡量包容。
The problem of bogus refugees has aroused heated debates in the community . Some people opine that bogus refugees has become a problem after being cooked up by the media whereas some are of the view that bogus refugees concerns the issue of humanitarianism so they should be tolerated as much as possible
但是，我必須指出，對於因為天災或戰亂而失去家園的真難民，我們絕無偏見。
Nevertheless I must point out that we definitely have no bias against those genuine refugees having lost their homes due to natural disasters or wars
基於人道立場，假如我們能夠幫助真正有需要的真難民，絕對是一件好事，但實情如何呢？
From a humanitarian perspective it is absolutely a good thing if we can render assistance to those genuine refugees truly in need of help . Yet what is the truth?
我們的而且確看到，近年來有大量來自東南亞地區，包括越南、 印度、巴基斯坦、孟加拉和印尼的人士透過提出免遣返聲請而留港。
We have truly seen large numbers of people from South East Asia including Vietnam India Pakistan Bangladesh and Indonesia seek to stay in Hong Kong by lodging non - refoulement claims
據我所知，這些國家根本並無戰亂，亦非政治動盪，我亦鮮有聽聞未能成功申請免遣返的聲請人士在返回祖國後被迫害。
As far as I know there are neither any wars nor politically turbulence in these countries . I have rarely heard that any unsuccessful non - refoulement claims are persecuted after returning to their homelands
除此之外，上述人士當中，大部分都是逾期居留，直到被入境處或警方發現，他們才隨即提出免遣返聲請。
Moreover a majority of the people mentioned above are over - stayers who proceeded to lodge non - refoulement claims only when they were found by the Immigration Department or the Police
主席，根據保安局的數字，大部分提出免遣返聲請的人士在香港平均躲藏19個月。
President as shown by the figures of the Security Bureau the majority of non - refoulement claimants went into hiding in Hong Kong for 19 months on average
在他們正式提出免遣返聲請後，我們會提供人道援助，包括生活費和租金，但問題是，這群人在19個月內都無須靠這些援助仍能在香港生活，究竟是甚麼的一回事？
Having officially lodged non - refoulement claims they were provided with humanitarian assistance including living and rental allowances . The point is they did not have to rely on such assistance but could still maintain their living in Hong Kong during the 19 months in hiding . What does this mean?
另一點是，提出免遣返聲請究竟是否這群人來香港的初衷？
Another point is about whether lodging non - refoulement claims is their original aim of coming to Hong Kong
大家可以看到，這根本不是他們的第一選擇，很多時候他們都是因為被發現或拘捕時，才逼於無奈，退而求其次。
We can tell that doing so is utterly not their first choice . In most cases they just helplessly resort to the second best alternative available when they are found or arrested
就是為了延長他們的非法居留，將非法居留合理化、正名化。
They only want to legitimize and prolong illegal stay
但是，大家不能不正視的一點，便是"假難民"的問題將會對香港造成長遠和沉重的影響。
However we must not ignore the point that the problem of bogus refugees will produce a far - reaching and heavy impact on Hong Kong
如果把上述數字簡單加起來，1年便要花20億元；如果這機制不改變，政府用於酷刑和免遣返聲請的實際開支只會有增無減。
According to our conservative estimation the cost per year will be some 70 million . Simply add up the above figures and we can see that it will cost 2 billion a year . Should the unified screening mechanism remain unchanged the actual expenditure on handling non - refoulement claims will only keep increasing
而我們亦看到，即使並非所有提出酷刑聲請的人士都是"假難民"，但我們必須指出，在過去處理聲請的過程中，成功個案是寥寥可數，即在1萬多宗申請中，根據過往的數字估計，有九成多都不能被確立，真正被確立為難民的人不足一成。
As we can see even though not all those having lodged non - refoulement claims are bogus refugees we have to point out that for cases handled in the past only very few were substantiated . Even among the some 10 000 claims more than 90 % were not substantiated according to past figures and there were less than 10 % of the claimants whose refugee status were recognized
問題是，如果我們繼續容許"假難民"濫用本港的資源和機制，則真正需要幫助的人便永遠得不到幫助。
The problem is if we continue to allow bogus refugees to abuse the resources and unified screening mechanism of Hong Kong then those in genuine need will never have any hope of receiving help
對於有人提出，這究竟會否對南亞裔人士造成標籤效應呢？
Some ask whether there will be any stigmatizing effect on ethnic South Asians
我覺得恰好相反，很多居住在香港並已領取"3粒星"身份證的南亞裔人士 是香港的一分子，但是，他們也認為"假難民"的申請隊伍會影響他們在香港居住的權利。
But I hold the opposite view . Many ethnic South Asians living in Hong Kong and holding three - star identity cards are members of our community but they also think that those bogus refugees lining up for lodging non - refoulement claims will undermine their right of abode in Hong Kong
所以，大家必須明白，盡快杜絕"假難民"其實是幫助社會更快地接納、包容少數族裔人士，以及令他們能與所有來自不同國家的香港市民共融。這是一個很重要而須處理的議題。
Therefore we must understand that the speedy eradication of the bogus refugees problem can in fact assist our society in accepting and accommodating ethnic minorities more quickly and bring forth the integration of all Hong Kong residents regardless of where they come from
另外，不得不提的是，除了錢，即每年的開支外，很多同事也提到"假難民"當"黑工"又或做違法的事而構成治安問題。
Apart from money that is the yearly expenditure there is another issue that has to be dealt with . Many Members have mentioned the security problems posed by bogus refugees engaging in illegal employment or illicit dealings
我認為絕對需要處理。
I absolutely think so
事實上，假如有關機制得不到改善，真難民只會繼續長期滯留在香港，只能在香港苦等。
In fact those genuine refugees stranded in Hong Kong will have to stay here for a prolonged period if no improvements are made to the mechanism in question
他們不能在香港工作，生活困難亦不能得到改善，可謂白白虛耗光陰，亦會耗費香港大量資源。
There is nothing they can do except wait indefinitely as they are not allowed to seek employment here so their difficulties in life can never be improved . They are just wasting their life and a great deal of Hong Kongs resources as well
所以，社會對"假難民"的不滿亦容易投射到真難民及已經擁有香港居民身份證的南亞裔人士身上，這是絕對不公平的。
As a result the communitys dissatisfaction towards bogus refugees may easily be projected onto those genuine refugees and ethnic South Asians holding Hong Kong resident identity cards . This is so unfair indeed
我們在這裏鄭重呼籲各位同事不能漠視"假難民"對香港造成的影響。
Here we strongly urge Members not to ignore the impacts of bogus refugees on Hong Kong
