Immigration and Asylum

I was horrified when the Government in a previous Bill attempted to remove the right of appeal from asylum seekers after rejection of their case for residence here.

I would strive to achieve shortening of the period of uncertainty for all asylum seekers and to make it possible for workers with useful and needed skills to be fast tracked so that they could become earning members of our society rapidly rather than drawing unnecessary financial support for long periods. 
However competition for jobs must be seen to be fair for local applicants also.

It is essential to study areas where ethnic groups have integrated well into local communities and the large number of individuals for whom race is no longer an issue as they are fully accepted for their own worth. 
Lessons must be learnt to reduce the strife and unhappiness where it occurs. 
As ours is a small island, quotas for immigration will have to be decided preferably by an independent body without political interference.
