Stranger things

The second worry is misplaced. Britain certainly has a dysfunctional asylum system: last June 70,000 people were still waiting for their cases to be heard. Asylum-seekers are usually banned from working, causing their skills to atrophy, and are often stuck in poor housing. The government has been trying to legislate to make the system harsher still. But all that was unfortunately true before Russia invaded Ukraine. The Homes for Ukraine scheme is a point of light that illuminates the awfulness of the mainstream asylum system. It seems odd to complain about that.

陌生的事物

第二个担心是错误的。英国当然有一个功能失调的庇护系统：去年6月，仍有70,000人仍在等待他们的案件被审理。寻求庇护者通常被禁止工作，导致他们的技能萎缩，并且经常被困在环境恶劣的住房中。政府一直试图通过立法使该系统更加严苛。但不幸的是，在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰之前，这一切事实都真实存在。“乌克兰之家”计划是一个亮点，它照亮了主流庇护系统的可怕之处。抱怨这一点似乎很奇怪。
