It’s difficult to answer these types of questions because the government won’t provide basic answers about what’s happened to failed asylum seekers. Right now, what little the government does report about failed asylum seekers doesn’t instil confidence. Either way, these figures suggest a large number of failed asylum seekers have decided to stick around indefinitely. It showed that there were 9,724 failed refugee claimants in the “removals working inventory” in September 2016, but didn’t really answer his questions. Kurland, for the record, says he believes most asylum seekers are coming here “in good faith” and that, even if they’re rejected, most are willing to self-deport.
