  • What they could do is resource the processing of claims properly.. Maybe because they don't want to admit that the vast majority are genuine refugees and having them in limbo suits the stats

    I'm sure you're right that there's mileage to be made in Othering the refugees. I imagine also that it'd be very expensive and they'd be wary of being seen to spend lots of money on this while people are still having to otherwise deal with potholes and diminishing local services etc.

    In the big scheme of things it's cheaper than putting them up in hotels.

    I saw a suggestion that part of the reason for keeping the backlog so high was to keep the costs high which means that really expensive remediation stuff like flying people to Rwanda can be justified as cost-efficient.
