which are making them leave their countries of origin. the difficulty for the government is this. there is always a discussion about whether or not the people we are talking about are genuine refugees and asylum seekers or whether they are economic migrants. you can go around the houses on that. everyone would accept that at the very least a proportion of those people are genuine asylum seekers and refugees. that should not be surprising with the worldwide displacements of 80 million people. it is not surprising some of those people will end up on our shores. the question is whether the push factors that are putting them, where they come from, persecution, displacement, war, attempted murder, are greater than anything the uk can do to reduce the pull factors. almost by definition anything we try and do well always still seem more appealing than what is pushing them from their countries of origin because their countries of origin could not be much worse.
