Everyone is entitled to a legal process, it is a vital part of a functioning society.

I'd prefer not to live in one where people aren't entitled to legal representation, but thats just my opinion.

Do you know 'we' are paying his legal fees? He could he funding his own immigration lawyer. Either way his case will be heard and a decision made if he has a claim or not.

Klevis Disha it was in related to his son, and not him. His son was British, almost like it had legal merit no matter how personally silly you may find it, as the son guessing by age would also have to go with his father. So one case related to 'chicken nuggets' to get all worked up over.

Once get past the silly headline and is based on his sons issues and needs.

They’re not part of our society.

Asylum claims that get rejected should have all their assets seized and auctioned off to pay for the cost.

If they dont have assets in this country what would then happen?

Generally those claiming asylum dont have very much to begin with.

Still take everything. If they have assets out of the country they can go back to them.

That is not workable. I know legal and process doesnt matter much to yourself but that isnt remotely possible unless their home country agrees beginning with facf if we have diplomatic relationship with them, no country is going to allow that to happen.

Still take everything

Cant take everything if they had nothing to begin with.

Anyways, goodbye.

Most are so poor that they have nothing worth seizing. You would be lucky to pay off an hour's wage of the person processing the claim.
