Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why are asylum seekers useless? Do you think they all fled their countries because they had no skills? I'm pretty sure they fled because their lives were in danger.

Also, there is a big difference between an illegal immigrant and an asylum seeker.

You're the one generalizing. Some are useful, some are not. Sorting and processing them should be done efficiently, which is what the swiss are trying to do.

I'm not sure how "deport all Eritrean asylum seekers" is an efficient way to sort them unless you think they are all unskilled, which is what you sure implied.

They're rejected asylum seekers. Now you may question the rejection criteria, but what do you do with people that don't meet your qualifications for entry, and can't be repatriated to their originating country because they won't accept them back without their consent?

Sorting and processing them should be done efficiently

Like we 'processed' certain people during WW2? You seem like a disgusting neoliberal who got fat and cruel from all the accumulated wealth you probably 'worked very hard for'.

That's quite a leap, but also about what I expected.

Christ, you don't process asylum seekers based on skills. If you want to nab some rejected asylum seekers that way, sure, otherwise it's a humanitarian endeavour.
