    The example given was a lady who was in Germany, went to the UK, then went back to Germany, had a child, and now can’t get her child into the UK. I understand there’s SO MANY problems with our visas and families being separated here, but I think there are far more egregious examples than this.

      and now can’t get her child into the UK

      While more egregious may be common. Separation of family is a clear violation of our EHCR commitments. And refusing entry to parent unless they dump dependent children (let alone babies) is pretty unacceptable attack on refugees. No matter the birth location of that baby.

      Our human rights commitments in no way approve locking refugees/asylum cases within our borders. Or rights to change their status based on reproductive choices.

        Although there was nothing really to stop them from staying in Germany. Hopefully the war ends soon anyway
