Essay about The Effect of Ayslum Policy on Social Exclusion in the UK

The first part of the essay will draw upon knowledge gained from different legislations in Wales related to the case study. it will also include ASPIRE social work process model to interpret and demonstrate an understanding of Khalid's circumstances as an unaccompanied asylum seeker.

Giving a human rights issue an individual face often results in greater attention . British citizens living in resettlement communities are more likely to have interacted with a refugee or asylum seeker in a personal or professional capacity, and are therefore more likely to be sympathetic of their circumstances, making them ideal targets for the BRC’s communication campaign.

This lead Asylum seekers to be portrayed as threats in both a criminal sense towards society, our economic stability and international relations (Every & Augoustinos, 2008). The most important aspect of this discourse however, was that it (we argue that) it succeeded at its intended purpose and managed to convey the message in a way to which the legitimate concerns surrounding both the legality and the inhumanity of the treatment towards these people were effectively undermined and brushed relegated to a state of irrelevance. The Government managed to justify their actions as being in response to illegal actions by asylum seekers who importantly, were managed to be portrayed and perceived as a threatening ‘other’ (Every & Augoustinos,

Asylum seekers have long been the victims of war, poverty, famine and natural disasters. The term ‘asylum seeker’ refers to human beings seeking refuge from hardship or persecution. However, this issue has been playing a significant part in Australia and is continually increasing every year. Throughout the time this issue has arose many government officials proceeded in complicating matter worse by desperately attempting to remove the asylum seekers that are wanting to seek asylum into our country via boat. Recently with this years election Malcom Turnball tells Australia that we are the second most generous participant when it comes to the United Nations resettlement landscape of accepting asylum seekers. In addition the community has been in an uproar over letting them stay in our

I arrived to Australia as an immigrant. I read ( ) and find out that Australia is one of the most ethnically diverse country in the world. In 2011, more than one-quarter of the total population was born overseas, with more than half of these population born in non- English speaking country. With my own experience I am reflecting on how stigma come in refugee and it influence health care delivery for them. Refugees came from different countries where language, culture, life style is different from Australia. With some research I found that refugees have a variety of bad experiences in the past, Most have faced deeply distressing and harrowing experiences and many have survived a range of physical, psychological and emotional traumas and I feel that according to my experience when they come to Australia they again face so many challenges, for example language barriers and cultural barriers, which can discourage their ability to use health care facilities.

Australia’s policies in regard to asylum seekers and refugee processing, are viewed as very controversial, and often inhumane by the international community (Lock, Quenault & Tomlinson 2002, p.37). To discuss this policy, I will apply an external analysis. In order to decide whether this policy is seen as good or bad, through a social, economic and human rights perspective.

The survey figures out that 60% of people who were surveyed think the Australian government should increase the severity of the treatment of asylum seekers. The article argues that there are extreme levels of nationalism to prejudice towards asylum seekers, and their study shows the fact of the acceptance of inaccurate information or myths as true in the society. Also, Muslim Australians are having difficulty in becoming familiar with the Australian society because people are holding a prejudiced view towards Muslims.

The term “refugee” is value laden. It carries centuries of imagery, something connected to our own histories, whether personal or cultural, an image deserving charity or compassion. But by it's very neutrality, it's bureaucratic blandness, the term “asylum seeker” distances us from the natural reaction of wanting to offer refuge, to one of objectivity and lack of emotional engagement. What's ironic here is that the term was probably coined by a well meaning academic attempting to remove the stigma of those emotional, pejorative or inaccurate labels like “boat people” , “queue jumpers” or the particularly insidious “genuine refugee”. Unfortunately their efforts have been co-opted by the opinion makers to reduce the experience of afflicted people to what sounds like a category on a governmental form. The fact that this term is so bureaucratic means that it ties in well with the label “queue jumper” further reinforcing the image of refugees as importunate opportunists who just want a share of “the good life”, Aussie style.

As Britain opted to leave the European Union and head into a negotiation process with its European counterparts, many issues need to be considered. Mainly the UK government focuses on the economic position, in particular the single market. This issue is closely linked to freedom of movement, so it could be the hardest part of the negotiation on which to achieve common ground. A part of the difficulty are the issues relating to the migration of people who are non-EU citizens, while the focus herein is firmly on the future of those defined as asylum seekers. This category has not been shown any attention by UK policy makers, while it appears this group forms a significant proportion of net migration figures. Plus, it could be argued that the main driver of the crisis that has led the UK public to opt to leave the EU is the influx of migrants, as this issue greatly escalated when the European Union was pushed the UK to accept a percentage of people who fled their homes from persecution, in particular Syrian citizens. Thus, the problem is defined by which asylum seekers are part of the issue that has led the UK to leave the European Union, regardless from who is behind this, whether the radical right-wing or individuals. It is too late to seek the root causes of the problem; it is time for solutions and guiding principles. The neo-liberal economic policies stated that social democracy should be our guiding values

Despite the United Kingdom’s long history of accepting settlers from other lands, today, more than at any other time the subject of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants is at the fore-front of public consciousness. Feelings run high as this emotive subject proves to be a thorny political issue with its own set of discourses. History has shown that –`asylum migration creates conflict within developed countries between natives and asylum seekers and it creates conflict between neighbouring developed countries with one trying to pass the burden of migration to the other` (Neumayer, n.d, p.2)

Today, from South America to the Middle East, the unfortunate reality is that large populations of refugees are often displaced into neighboring developing nations. These developing countries classify the sudden migratory population as a burden and refugees isolate to micro-communities or integrate into already impoverished area. As part of this program, I hope to advance research on how exclusionary and inclusionary practices can affect the economic condition of existing citizens and the identity of new immigrants. I also hope to understand the methodologies and policies that would foster these inclusionary and exclusionary

There is a strong need to obtain further evidence regarding refugee health needs, and to carry out policy evaluations on sector specific impacts. For example, policy makers must remain aware of the cost and benefit implications of utilizing emergency room and acute care staff to treat primary health care concerns and estimate patient demand accordingly. Given the complexity and inequity associated with IFHP, it has been suggested that creating a tailored social welfare policy and healthcare model suited to the characteristics of refugees may hold promise (Barnes, 2013). There has been a range of further suggested changes to regulations, including suggestions that fewer categories of migrants be delegated to simplify the system with respect
