Suella Braverman - Asylum Seekers Exploiting UK Law
Channel: Con Troversial
Date: 2024-04-08

an asylum seeker
can come to the UK illegally
and they can claim
human rights protections
based on a whole range of
things whether that's
as we saw tragically
recently false claims
that they may have converted
from Islam to Christianity
uh claims that they may have
a family member in the UK
claims that they
might be a political
dissident
of the Iranian regime
and therefore
to be returned there
would be
harmful to their welfare uh
all of those kinds of claims
enable them
to plead human rights
in a way that trumps
the human rights
of the British people
to live in a country
where their borders are
secure um
all of those kinds of claims
allow foreign criminals
to claim their human rights
in a way that prevails
over the human rights of
victims
and the British people
to live in a safe country
I think
that balance is totally
out of kilter!
