Here are the details of what the Welsh government are actually going to do. All the explanation comes from a Welsh Government document www.gov.wales/basic-income-care-leavers-wales-pilot-announced
Basic income for care leavers in Wales
All young people leaving care who turn 18 during a 12 month period, across all local authority areas, will be offered the opportunity to take part in this pilot. The pilot will begin during the next financial year and we anticipate over 500 young people will be eligible to join the scheme.
As you can see it has nothing whatsoever to do directly with asylum seekers. It is to do with Care leavers, children who may well have been taken from abusive homes. Its purpose to help them to settle down, find accommodation, a job, and trainingwithout having to constantly seek funding for everything they do. yes, this will include any under 18 assylum seekers, but I suggest there are not that many in Wales.
Why oh why will people jump to conclusions without carefully checking their facts (from reliable sources), such as, in this case, the Welsh Government Press Release, freely available and readily accessible on line.
As I said earlier, it suits their narrative to do so Monica. Young people leaving care have a very tough time of it, I genuinely can’t see why people are so small minded that they begrudge them time limited support to help them get themselves sorted out, enabling them to prepare for a brighter future than they would otherwise have.
