| Your ASYLUM is my ABUSE. Your REFUGE is my RISK. |

The following by Alistair McConnachie appeared as an editorial in the March 2007 issue of Sovereignty
Most "asylum seekers" and "refugees" are law-abiding people, but during February 2007 the papers were full of the conviction of an 18-year-old Angolan "refugee" who was part of an armed gang who burst into a community centre in August 2005 and shot a woman dead in the head. The illegality, violence and crime committed by some "asylum seekers" and those who become "refugees" - as a result of achieving "asylum status" -- is the dirty secret which the self-righteous people who campaign to undermine and abolish the immigration laws and to open the borders, deliberately ignore. The violence and risk to us, is the other side of the weepy appeals to "compassion" beloved of the "do-gooders" -- actually do-badders -- and the extremists who want to promote, for their own perverted reasons, the demographic transformation of Britain. DANGEROUS PEOPLE DO NOT BELONG AMONG US But if you claim asylum you can just walk in! That's your "right" under the UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Almost anyone can claim asylum and come into this country without any of the usual checks and balances which we would presume normally to apply to immigrants. It doesn't matter how dangerous you may potentially be to society. Unless you are immediately known to the system, then you'll get in! You'll get "asylum"! You may ultimately get, "refuge" in our green and pleasant land. You get to walk down the street next to me, stand beside me in the bar, sit beside me on the bus. And I will wonder, who is this person? What has he seen and done which informs his attitude to life and his behaviour? Chances are, he may come from a culture of violence and brutality that most people in our society cannot even begin to fathom. He claims to be "persecuted" -- but that's a matter of opinion, because one man's persecution is another man's justice. And I will wonder, why did he run away? Why is he making his problems, my problems? I have enough problems just trying to pay the rent, without having to bother about his! His asylum is my abuse, my alarm, my affront. His refuge is my risk, which I am expected and required by the system to bear. But why should I bear this risk? "But, if we don't let these people in, they will be persecuted or killed in their homelands" People who think the present system is adequate, or who try to undermine it, or who advocate for open borders are allowing and encouraging to be imported annually, tens of thousands of people -- some of whom may be murderers and criminals -- actual or potential -- who represent a real physical danger to us and our lives! Of course, this is emphatically not to say that all "asylum seekers" are a danger to us -- only a small minority are a danger -- but enough of them are a real and proven danger -- witness the Angolan "refugee" above -- to bring the entire asylum system into disrepute. In order to prevent one person allegedly being "persecuted" in his homeland, unknown numbers of dangerous people -- actual or potential -- have to be allowed to enter our country freely and without any checks! In order to prevent people allegedly being "persecuted" in their homeland, the risk is displaced onto us, in our homeland. We have to run the risk of them, rather than have them run the risk for themselves. To prevent them possibly becoming victims, we've to risk becoming victims! THOSE WHO PROMOTE OPEN BORDERS ARE GUILTY OF ENDANGERING US ALL They are endangering us all. They are setting each of us up potentially to be murdered. Some of them might be shocked to consider it from this angle, but that's exactly what they're doing. They are complicit in the criminal acts of such rogue "asylum seekers" and "refugees". They aid and abet -- they are art-and-part liable -- in the perpetration of the criminal acts, including murderous acts, of these people. How dare such people try to undermine our fragile safety and security in the name of "compassion"! How dare they encourage the entry of violent, dangerous people into our country to threaten our family, our friends, our society! And if you think that is too much to say, then consider that murderers such as the "refugee" from Angola -- of all places -- would not be in this country in the first place, if they had not been loosed upon us by the people who invented, and continue to uphold and promote these "asylum" concepts, or undermine the already very weak asylum laws. Framed in this way, we affirm that those who think the present asylum law is adequate, or who encourage its very weak provisions to be broken, or who call for open borders, are guilty!Every time a child is hit by an illegal immigrant or "asylum seeker" in a stolen car, or whenever someone is wounded or killed by a "refugee", they are to blame. They are guilty, just as if they had driven the stolen car or stabbed the knife, or pulled the trigger because they are the people who uphold the system which is killing us. No longer can they try, self-righteously, to claim the "moral high ground". We affirm instead that it is moral to stand up for the right of us all to live safely and securely without the risk of our living spaces being invaded by dangerous people. We affirm that the present "asylum" system subverts our safety, our security and ultimately our society. We affirm that those who pretend our asylum law is adequate, or who try to undermine it, or campaign for open borders, are to blame, are guilty of endangering us all, and will be held liable. Sovereignty is involved in the on-going work of developing sensible asylum policies, and a summary of our work, so far, can be found here.
