What's it to you? Butter? So what were you listening to? Bloody illegals, I don't know what makes them think they can come to this country They have got no right I wish everybody would just go back to where they came from. Your wish is my command. There are millions of displaced people in the world. who have been forced to flee brutality and persecution So, what rights do they have to reach safety? There is human right to seek asylum and to enjoy its benefits if you receive it. But governments have no explicit obligation to grant asylum However, when an asylum seeker arrives in the country seeking protection It's a breach of international law to send them away to another country where they face very serious harm. So in many cases it is completely unacceptable to send them back to where they came from So, a right to be granted asylum may arise out of other well recognised rights One thing is for sure until more countries recognize rights of asylum Millions will be exposed to severe persecution such as torture and murder. and the majority those who escape will languish in camps in unsafe conditions, or in limbo Warsaw was fine, thank you very much What did you do that for? Where are your Grandparents from? Poland Why did they come here? Dunno, they must of had a pretty good reason. Exactly They've got great reasons
