“You seem to have done the classic AB response of assuming because I say one thing, I mean another.”
I’ve done no such thing, Zacs.
“Not every asylum seeker makes fraudulent claims.”
Indeed not and I never suggested they do. But many do.
It is a fair assumption to make that, when you mention the cost of policing these fraudulent claims, you accept that a level of fraud is acceptable to defer the costs of that policing. You compared the cost to the taxpayer this particular gentleman thrust on the taxpayer by his lies and deception saying that effective policing would probably cost more. I don’t see any conclusion to reach other than that we should accept the occasional chancer such as Mr Qoomaal in our midst as a fair price to pay to save us the cost of catching people such as him. Even if somebody has done the sums and correctly determined that you are right, it makes in none the less acceptable.
