🚨ASYLUM SEEKERS DESERVE MORE MONEY AND BETTER HOUSING🚨 Senedd members urged the Government to give asylum seekers more money and better housing. In a statement titled "Refugee Week: Wales a Nation of Sanctuary", Julie James said she was "frustrated" the request was ignored. The requests, made in 2018, provide further clarity on the purpose of the Nation of Sanctuary policy. James confirmed Welsh Government "advocated for increasing financial support for asylum seekers awaiting decisions, additional money for local authorities to support asylum seekers in their area and improved asylum accommodation standards". James condemned the Government for failing to increase the money paid to asylum seekers. "Unfortunately, to say the least, the UK Government does not appear to have incorporated our recommendations in the design of their forthcoming asylum accommodation contracts or significantly increased financial support in the asylum system," she said. "It is no secret that we are often frustrated by the UK Government's decisions in relation to asylum and migration matters," she added. James also criticised "negative effects" of what she considered hardline UK Government policies on asylum, and confirmed she planned to intervene. "We are continuing to consider improvements that we can make to support those seeking sanctuary, including looking at extending eligibility for education grants and concessionary transport to asylum seekers," she said. A request to ease the restrictions on asylum seekers' access to public money was also made. James claimed this was essential to integration and urged the Home Office "not to undermine this intention by placing Welsh Government funding streams on the list of prohibited public funds in the immigration rules". James' statement was preceded by a performance by "Oasis", a Welsh Government funded choir for asylum seekers. She urged colleagues to demonstrate to them that "Wales, a small nation, punches above its weight when it comes to providing sanctuary". Senedd members have, in the past few weeks, placed significant emphasis on the term "integration", claiming this is the real purpose of the Nation of Sanctuary policy. Yet their approach to integration, of giving more money and better housing to asylum seekers, will have the effect of encouraging more to come. The policy must be scrapped.

Zoe Gardener on asylum seekers, "People are being moved out of a hotel where there were violent racist protests taking place week in week outside of their gates" "People being terrorised who were living there, a huge disturbance to the local community" "Yes, its right people should not have been housed in that hotel but for it to happen in this way, what an enormous humiliation for this government" "A huge failure which lays bear the arrogance with which they have approached this asylum issue" "Labour have gone day after day after day this summer pursuing anti migrant rhetoric over their social media, their announcements, across all of their policy approaches" "Labour have fuelled the flames of this hatred" "What they should have been doing is acting sooner to moving people out of hotels and into a more sustainable community accommodation" "What if we allowed people to work while they are in the asylum system, as they do across Europe, so that they can pay to support themselves in private rental accommodation" "It is not illegal to enter the UK to seek asylum" "And in every other European country they are entitled to work while their claims are being assessed" "They are not breaking the law by being here, it is clear under international law they have a right to be here and claim asylum" "Under this privatised system of asylum accommodation where people own, as you say, poor quality hard to let properties. That's not the right model" "We should have a not for profit model of asylum accommodation where people are house through local authorities, where they are able to work in order to support their own accommodation" "It is insulting the intelligence of viewers that they can simply be made to disappear" "We're already seeing the violent far right racist organised parts of those demonstrations, those people are saying this was a success, saying that if they create a space that is unsafe outside these hotels, if they create disorder, they will have to move asylum seekers out" "And they are threatening to do it all over the country"
