      Everybody has the right to return to their homeland, I just hope it stays safe for them when they return.

    2. One of the things about immigration that people always seem to want to avoid talking about is why people feel like they need to leave their home countries. Often it’s because of instability, violence and the threat of harm. And often, they’d much rather live in their home country than as a hated minority in someone else’s.

      I hope a lot of these people find that it’s now safe to return, if they want to, and that Syria becomes a more stable place to live. But I fear that it will know a lot more chaos and violence in the near future.

      While we’re on this topic, I’m shocked at the lack of empathy people are displaying towards Syrian refugees, even right now that we know about how conflict-ridden Syria has been.

      If anyone said the same thing about Ukrainian refugees once their war ends, everyone would be up in arms. Racism at its finest.

      lol BS. My Syrian refugee neighbours have been going back to Syria for years. The NHS wasn’t good enough for them so they had private medical treatment in Syria. The sooner you realise 85% of these people don’t come here for asylum purposes but for economic purposes, the sooner you’ll stop believing such charades.

    5. Is it fair to think that if you claim asylum in this country due to war in your homecountry, and then you holiday to your homecountry once a year for religious holidays/Christmas/seeing family, that your asylum should be revoked?

    6. If I was them I would certainly wait to see how things settle in the region before returning but I understand why they are so desperate.

      People should take the hint, Islamists have taken over and Syrian refugees in the UK are largely celebrating. Whilst I’m sure much of it is about celebrating the defeat of Assad, would most normal British people consider an Islamist takeover of our country worthy of celebration? The leader of HTS, the group which will now run Syria, is the same man who led the Al-Nusra Front and is undoubtedly responsible for an enormous amount of war crimes. Don’t be so mistaken, the jubilation about the defeat of Assad among many Syrians is just as much celebratory towards who his replacement is and the corresponding ideology.

      Maybe this is the way to solve the migrant/asylum seeker crisis. Just male peoples home countries better and they won’t want to leave.

    9. They shouldn’t be here,if look at the boats been arriving mostly men not many kids or woman if they are running away like little bxtches not defending their land what are they good for? Another thing I been working knowing many asylum seekers 90 percent are lied on their asylum aplication.
