The fact is that by very definition, 'failed asylum seekers' have broken the law and thus as with any other individual within the borders of this country, they are bound by the laws of this land and should be deported. Their cases have been heard through the correct channels and a decision been reached and that is that. This is yet another example of an extremely small minority of students uniting around a cause that is completely unfounded. Probably the same people that echo calls made for the early release of the Yorkshire ripper on human-rights grounds and the assertion of prisoners rights over those of their victims (often non-existent because they have had their ultimate 'right to life' taken away from them). One final point, I think many of these people adopt a 'not in my back yard' policy regarding failed asylum seekers. In other words, their attitudes would be very different if they lived in communities in London and other large cities where strain is at an all-time high because of the failure of the government to deport failed asylum seekers back to their country of origin.
