We both know there are people being deported and sent back for various reasons to countries where there are not particularly high human rights standards. Hypothetically, a person who comes here from Kazakhstan, for example, may be coming from some sort of political conflict or have fled as a result of issues relating to their sexuality. We all know there are scenarios where they do not want to come forward because their family might be targeted in Kazakhstan. That is not going to be factored in here.
