Re : Jane 's Asylum

The focal issue of this argument is when an Asylum Seeker arrives in Australia without a visa, they are required to stay in detention well beyond the period of time it should take to gather basic information about an asylum claim, health identity or security issues. This can lead to an asylum seeker often being detained for months and sometimes for years. Under the Migration Act (Cth.) 1958 there is no time limit on this detention and only very limited review by the courts is available. The ‘United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty’, rule 11 (b) (UNHCR) considers ‘detention as; confinement within a narrowly bounded or restricted location, where freedom of movement is substantially curtailed, and where the only opportunity

Jane's childhood trauma results as a product of her times at Gateshed and Lowood. There were a series of irreversible problems that Jane had to deal with. She was born an orphan into a house devoid of love or respect for her. It is not overly emotionally healthy to live with the "ostracism by the Reed family and the unrelenting anxiety over the chidings of the servants, the violence of John Reed, and the punishments and berating of Mrs. Reed." (Ashe 10) Evidently, Jane had this lifestyle since she was little. This can be inferred from Mrs. Reeds loving statement "I hated it the first time I set my eyes on it-a sickly, whining, pining thing" (7)

A determination of convention refugee status is made by an immigration officer or tribunal, based on several factors under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (“the Act”).

Despite being granted a visa to enter Australia as a refugee visa (visa subclass 200) refugees must then satisfy other numerous criteria even more challenging. An example of this is apart from meeting national security requirements and health screening the minister of Australian immigration considers applicants must have a "compelling reason for giving special consideration to granting the visa”. Their connection with Australia, the capacity of the Australian community and the degree of severity of persecution they are faced with

The topic about Texas stepping out of the federal refugee resettlement has been causing controversy since November of 2015. Nevertheless, before introducing the topic, we should know that the term “refugee” can be defined as “person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her home country because of a “well-founded fear of persecution” due to race, membership in a particular social group, political opinion, religion, or national origin.” (Johnson). The controversy caused about this topic is due to Texas governor’s concerns about security threads from the Syrian refugees, however, the Federal government has a security process that is applied to every refugee that entries in the country. Moreover, we will review the next question: What is the government’s legal process to let the refugees in the United States?

Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security has asserted that Respondent’s statements about witnessing the public burning of neighbors, who had opposed the narco-traffickers, were not corroborated by the statements made by her uncle. Therefore, Respondent’s statements should not be deemed as credible. While corroboration may bolster an asylum applicant’s credibility, an application may still be credible absent specific corroboration, especially where his or her explanations for

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1996 interprets the provisional details and definitions for immigration into the United States, but more specifically, U.S. Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part I, Section 1158, Asylum gives the authority to apply for asylum to “any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States,”…”, irrespective of such alien’s status, to apply for asylum”…” (8 U.S.C.S. §1158(a)(1)).

Member states are prohibited from engaging in scare tactics against asylum seekers. Those scare tactics may take the form of letters or advertisements that state the probability of gaining asylum for a certain profile of perople is very unlikely, and their forced deportation decisions are very fast. Moreover, detention and purposeful delay of docuents, decisions, and procedures of said profile of people is also considered a scare tactic. In the case of minors, even the implication of deportation and removal without first assessing the application is prohibited. The offerring of money to leave the territory of the member state is also prohibited.

The immigration officer approves asylum and schedules the audience with an immigration judge OR the immigration officer denies asylum because his story lacks credibility, and sends to

According to UNHCR, a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries. When people flee their own country, and seek sanctuary in another country, they apply for asylum – the right to be recognized as a refugee and receive legal protection and material assistance. An asylum seeker must demonstrate that his or her fear of persecution in his or her home country is

Jane was born as Honora Kelley and grew up without a mother and with an alcoholic father. She spent many years of her life in poverty and she was forced to uproot her life to go live in the Boston Female Asylum. After a few years, Jane was adopted by Mrs. Ann Toppan, and Jane spend every day being extremely jealous of her beautiful step-sisters. Especially when she was left at the alter at only 19 years old, she determined she was unlovable and turned dark and hateful. She eventually moved out to become a nurse where not long after got the name nightmare nurse (Lyle, 2011). While working in the hospital which had low supervision and security, this allowed her to do as she pleased. Jane experimented with drugs using morphine and atropine on the patients that she did not like (Lyle, 2011). No one

The Trump Administration plans on exponentially expanding detention centers and facilities. In February 2017, Asylum Division Chief John Lafferty, presented an updated Asylum Division Officer Training Course (ADOTC), which included lesson plans on Credible Fear of Persecution and Torture Determinations, and Reasonable Fear of Persecution and Torture Determinations. The aim of the plan is to revise the credible and reasonable fear standard of asylum during screening, and make it consistent with the Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements, Executive Order 13767 released on January 25, 2017. The lesson plan’s intent is to raise the current credible fear standard during the asylum screening process set by Congress, to a much higher standard that occurs during hearings. Asylum Division Chief John Lafferty, has stated that the Department of Homeland Security has “already located 20,000 beds for the indefinite detention of those seeking asylum.” This is a close to a

The process of allowing a refugee from entering the U.S is a long and tedious task. Eleanor Acer, of Human Rights First, provides some insight into this. She states: “Refugees go through more security checks than any other traveler to the U.S”. Additionally, refugees must also provide documentation of their family histories, and pass security interviews. An applicant must then pass medical examinations, and after arriving to the U.S a job must be obtained within six months. Afterwards, an applicant must wait to be granted asylum. Even then refugee applicants are based on priority. By that, it would mean; Top priority are individuals who’ve been identified through the U.S or an NGO with no other option (varies, could be a woman who was assaulted and now ostracized or someone who went against their government), second are groups of “special concern” who’ve been selected through groups like USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), and certain NGOs.

In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Jane is an orphan who is often mistreated by the family and other people who surround her. Faced with constant abuse from her aunt and her cousins, Jane at a young age questions the treatment she receives: "All John Reed’s violent tyrannies, all his sister’s proud indifference, all his mother’s aversion, all the servants’ partiality, turned up in my disturbed mind like a dark deposit in a turbid well. Why was I always suffering, always brow-beaten, always accused, forever condemned?" (27; ch. 2). Despite her early suffering, as the novel progresses Jane is cared for and surrounded by various women who act as a sort of "substitute mother" in the way they guide,
