Politicians Call for Wales to Be Transformed into World’s First Migrant ‘Sanctuary’



by Jack Montgomery

Politicians in Wales are campaigning to transform the country into the world’s first “nation of sanctuary” for “refugees and asylum seekers”.

The Welsh Assembly’s Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee has published a report which chairman John Griffiths (Labour) hopes will help advance the Welsh Government’s goal of becoming a sanctuary, a commitment agreed in principle in 2012.


“The constant news cycle of images and stories of people escaping war and persecution in Syria, Iraq and other countries brings home the tragedy of current world events and the stories people have told us during this inquiry have been both harrowing and distressing but ultimately inspiring,” said Griffiths.

“It is critical that there is the right support available to [migrants] when they reach Wales so that they can participate fully in Welsh life and have fulfilling lives in their new communities.”


The opposition Welsh separatist party, Plaid Cymru, is also in favour of turning Wales into a migrant sanctuary, with leader Leanne Wood having promoted the policy for a number of years.


Evidence of strong public support for mass immigration in Wales is lacking, however.

A substantial poll carried out for WalesOnline by YouGov in 2014 found that 68 per cent of people believe immigration controls should be tighter, compared with 5 per cent who believe they should be relaxed.

41 per cent of respondents also believed that immigration has damaged Wales, with 18 per cent saying the damage has been “very bad”. This compares with 22 per cent who said immigration has benefited Wales, with just 5 per saying the effects have been “very good”.


The survey found that the public are as keen on controls for EU immigration as for non-EU immigration, suggesting that it does not share the desire of the Welsh political establishment to keep the country within the Free Movement regime of the Single Market after Brexit.

The only problem is immigration is not devolved so cannot just let in anyone but would see every Tom dick and arry turning up on our doorstep! what it does mean is migrants that arrive do get priority on housing ect ect like in mid Wales!

A brilliant argument for 'helping' others to improve their own environments but the big issue for me is helping stem the tide of corruption, tyranny, dictatorship and torture which will then allow the 'good' people to flourish and improve the lot of their families and neighbours :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Trade not aid is the way to go. Mass migration barely scratches the surface in the 3rd World but does enormous harm to the West.

If true typical Labour going against the will of the people of Wales. The most un Democratic Party our there. Loons the lot of them. The Welsh assembly could in fact put the security of the whole UK at risk not to mention the health of Welsh citizens that won’t get the NHS treatment due to the infrastructure being over run

Yes because no Welsh men ever rape anyone do they.

And before you call me a loony lefties or something I’m not nor am I in agreement with the article in fact my own personal beliefs is that immigration should be points based and that instead of allowing people into this country we and the other developed countries should be doing more to try to improve the lives of people living in less developed countries. But still had to make that comment just to show you how stupid your comment was.

Around 5% of the UK population is Muslim.

In the prison system around 30% of the population are Muslim and that's no fault of the native brits either.

This kind of suggestion is nuts, ffs, either it's politicians trying to get their names in the paper or fake news, immigration is an issue that needs addressed by world politicians collectively and not just some numpty suggesting that a whole country take in the world's migrants, Angela Merkel tried something similar and has left herself open to all sorts of problems, nice idea but unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world.

Yes because unfourtunetly radical Islam is clever and can use as means of converting people to it/radicalising moderate Muslims whilst in a prison system that is an utter shambles due to massive underfunding and overcrowding.
