This seems perfectly reasonable. And am pretty certain asylum seekers would welcome it because they really would rather return home. But there are some issues with this that I can see immediately. I mean some AS from countries like Iran will probs never be able to return because the regime is pretty strong despite various protests by the people. And imagine if an AS gets married to a British passport holder, has children, trains, and is working in the NHS etc., would it then be counter productive to send this person home?
But does sound better than some other measures being circulated on here.
