Yes, also, they should still be subject to screening, both for a possible criminal background, and if they are true refugees, or simply people wishing to exploit that classification in an attempt at unauthorized entry.
This is a good idea but it's really tough in practice. How do you perform a thorough background check on someone who has no legal documents and has come from some war torn place where that sort of information isn't reliably held?
It's frustrating because it's an easy situation to fake if you're dishonest, but it's very difficult to prove if you're telling the truth. If your home got carpet bombed or you were suddenly run out of town by some crazy warlord then how the hell are you expected to bring legal documents anywhere? It would just be sheer luck if you had them.
I don't know what the answer is. I think I prefer a system that is more lenient simply because it means that more truly needy people are helped, but the down side to that is that you are more open to the deceitful which can cause a big knock on effect to a nation.
In an ideal world richer western countries would use charity funds to go to the source of the troubled areas and rescue people themselves, and take them to near by areas that are safe, but the governments would rather do as little as possible and just make it look like they care by telling people to make an extremely dangerous journey half way across the world, knowing full well that many will die, with no concrete promise of aslyum. That looks good for the press, good for votes...
Well, in some cases, it would be indeed difficult to find info, but I feel we should still look to find any possible info we can. For starters, if we find plenty of info that shows a criminal history, they will obviously be rejected, due to the criminal history, and this would also show that they are less likely to be legitimate asylum seekers, considering there was a well intact record of them.
Yeah, a legit asylum seeker is less likely to have detailed background info, but if we can at least confirm that they are asylum seekers, or at least from the country they say.
Anything we can do to reduce the amount of criminals, and false asylum seeker claims is a step in the right direction.
