In my judgment, legitimate refugee claimants who have legitimate claims would not abandon or withdraw their claims. Why would they if they are seeking protection? Clearly, it's in the criteria that show that the claim is not legitimate in the first place. A system that deters these kinds of claims, in my judgment, is necessary. However, the selection of the criteria has to be transparent, the designation of which countries or parts of countries or groups has to be transparent, so that the public will genuinely support that system and apply the necessary resources to then expedite removal of these people, which will then deter others from taking the same route.
