But we dont. Again further to a number of international human rights conventions and the Human Rights Act we give failed asylum seekers rights of appeal. When those rights are exhausted they are removed from the UK. Which part of that is "ignoring" the initial decision making process?
As for expensive - the Home Office Immigration and Nationality Department by its own admission is severely understaffed and underresoureced. The initial decision makers are on salaries of around 14k and the Presenting Officers who appear in the Tribunals are on around 18K, and there are so few of them that these hearings are repeatedly adjourned.Asylum seekers receive no benefits or housing at any stage of the process and their right to receive assistance from the social services are extremely limited. The Legal Aid they receive during the appeal process is extremely limited: for example they are given no paid representation at Court during the appeal process, despite the fact that research and statistics have shown repeatedly that cases where there is no such representation fail in entirely disproportionate numbers compared to those which do have representation and despite the fact that if a mistake has been made at any stage of the process failed asylum seekers will be returned to countries where they may be facing rape, torture and execution.
