The Policy incomprehension of Criminal immigrants and the relative consequence to the native populat

  • by: Charles Egonye
  • recipient: The immigration policy makers in the United Kingdom

This petition intends to shade light on the admission of Asylum immigrants into the United Kingdom with the presumption that majority are likely to be ex-offenders. The present and former immigration policies and procedures surrounding Asylum Seeker’s seems to enhance discrimination amongst the native population of ex-offenders and the Asylum seekers.

The native population of Ex - offenders are often marginalised by the policies attached to their criminal records compared to Asylum seekers. Majority of the Asylum applicants in the United Kingdom seek refuge as a result of their economic, social or political involvement in their various countries.

Regardless of facts that some asylum seekers involvements in their various countries can often be regarded as “criminal offence” in the United Kingdom. However the general policies surrounding decisions on Asylum application, undermines the previous applicant’s involvement of any nature, which can either result to high criminalisation of Asylum seeks on one hand [see foriegn national prison] and on the other hand disadvantage the native population of ex offender in Labour market and society in general.

The aim of the petition is to point out the social impacts of admitting presumed ex offender amongst the Asylum seekers into the United Kingdom; more especially the "the life long pesistent criminals".  The petition will also identify whether the Asylum policies and procedures act as shields to protect the service users. For example, the process of granting Leave to remain to Asylum seekers in the United Kingdom means giving the applicant another chance to improve their lives without recalling his or her former criminal record. Therefore the petition will seek to examine the effects of such weak Asylum policy on the native population of ex-offenders in the United Kingdom in terms of life chance opportunities in employment and education.
