Given that the government screws things up generally, isn't it possible that they're also screwing up their 'asylum seeker' policy? I only say this because 'a friend of a friend' who was involved with Afghan kids granted asylum (in a sort of fostering capacity) reckons they are rarely seeking asylum from anything: they've be sent here by relatives who see them as potential cash cows. Moreover, these young men - because they are young men a lot of the time - aren't particularly happy about it.
They're supposed to get work and send it back to their family in Afghanistan presumably, where I guess the pound goes quite a long way. Don't shoot the messenger - it's just what I heard.
