The immigration crisis - my suggestion

We should have a triage system for IP applicants.

1. First is to get the identity, place of birth, last place of residence, reason for IP, where they spent the last 7 nights, any other relevant facts. With this information, an interviewer can decide if there is a prima face case to deny the IP application, and applicant is deported, subject to confirmation by second interview by superior to test relevant facts and claims.
2. Applicants that pass first interview are then checked for veracity of facts determined at first interview. False information would derail claim if serious. Checks that applicant had not claimed IP in other safe countries or in EU states.
3. Any appeals would be heard as a last resort, and failure at this stage would result in deportation. Successful applicants would be given leave to remain, and any required support to settle, including language, work training, and housing.

The whole sequence should never take more than 90 days. In the past, applicants have been waiting over a decade. We could then cope with this influx within our obligations.

The Gov should be fully open about how IP applicants are actually being handled. There appears to be a ready supply of tents being handed out to be pitched along the canal.
