The following might not make sense in type, however at least I know what I mean in my head!
We live in a democratic country that has a legal system designed to function for all. Yes yes there are side debates about how democratic and how fair the legal system is, however you hopefully get my underlying point. In short, we're not North Korea.
Whilst on the one hand that's good, the very rules policies and procedures set up to protect people can, in certain cases, be counterproductive. Let me give you an OT example to make my point.
A tenant might stop paying their rent. Let's assume the landlord is decent and the property is fine, the tenant simply stopped paying their rent. However in some cases, if the tenant knows how to play the proverbial system, it can be many months if not a year+ before they're eventually evicted. Whilst it is of course right that the landlord can't just go round with a couple of heavies after 2 months rent are missed and physically turf the tenant out, it can be argued neither is it right for the tenant to still be living there month in month out essentially rent free.
I think the same analogy can be used in some (not all before you start) cases of folk coming into this country on boats, in the wheel housing of aircraft, etc. The very system that has been created to protect people and consider their rights can also lead to a VERY slow process in terms of reaching a decision/conclusion that is then followed through.
We all know that a significant % of the boat people shouldn't be here, however our hands are tied in terms of getting them out of here back to their own countries. In short, we're a soft touch.
The people 'fleeing persecution' know it.
The traffickers know it.
We all know it.
No, I'm not proposing a complete removal of all human rights etc. I'm simply stating we seem to have created a system that is open to exploitation, leading to delay, backlogs and increasing frustration across society.
