Are we to believe all illegal immigrant's when they state that they are gay or that they also face execution or imprisonment because of their political leanings, or are they simply excuses for attaining a free ride in the UK?

I only heard this on the news so I didn't have more detail, but surely you can't just say that you're gay, and people believe you on something as important as deportation - surely we have to have some proof (although I'm not sure what it would be!).

YouTube maybe?

She's been here for 8+ years. In that time do you think the authorities might have checked out her claims?

They follow people they suspect of wrongfully claiming incapacity benefit....why wouldn't they follow an asylum seeker?

To be honest I don't think this will make much difference. There is too much red tape and human rights laws preventing deportations that even paying illegal immigrants to leave does not work.

These is nothing even remotely homophobic in the Q.

[jake-the-peg]

Well obviously not

Surely you've not bought into a tabloid fantasy where immigration officers just say "Gay? politically persecuted? - sure through you go benefit office is over there"

They probably don't publish the details of the checks they do for obvious reasons

Maybe if everyone stopped firing insults at each other, this could be a good debate.

[ummmm]

No one...just a couple of answers removed.

AOG - his answers are gone. Probably to keep the thread on track..!

The culture that would kill this woman if she returns home, will certainly shun her in this country, too.

She may well gain asylum but at geat personal cost..............

Toys out of the pram already, POF?

..for "one" - read "I".

[joggerjayne]

This is becoming like a duck shoot.

If the Ed shoots down many more answers, he'll win a goldfish !

[Answerprancer]

..it's a bit ridiculous IMO.

AP - Is that your response to the story, or to the way this thread has gone ? :o)
