Yet another reason to hate having a border with Russia. But here is an article in norwegian translated by yours truely.

QuoteRussian authorities help human traffickers to deliver eight Afghan asylumseekers to the Norwegian border.

During may a Russian registered truck drove up to the border post Boris Gleb in Finnmark from the Russian side with eight refused asylum seekers, Aftenposten reports.

Both the vehicle and the driver were arranged by Russian authorities. The driver, a Russian citizen resident in Kirkenes (in Norway), was ordered to drive the Afghans to Norway.

The Afghans were dumped right in front of the amazed Norwegian border guards.

Human Trafficking
The driver delivered a folder with all eight of the Afghans Afghani passports and Russian documents signed by the chief of the border crossing Boris Gleb, and approved of the Russian foreign department in Murmansk.

The eight asylum seekers said that they had paid a Human trafficker US$13,000 to be transported from Moscow to Murmansk and Norway. Immediately after reporting to Norwegian Police they were sent to Oslo. There they await a reply from UDI (The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration).

Norway has reacted strongly on this issue and the Department of Justice calls the dumping of the asylum seekers unacceptable.

I know. WTF. Stuff like this just pisses me off. It's my tax Kroner that go to pay for this stuff.

The there is the Congolese womens soccer team.

QuoteUDI and visas for Norway Cup
UDI made a mistake when we issued a ni day visa to what we thought was a Congolese soccer team that was playing in Norway Cup.

Aftenposten writes on August 13. about a team from Congo that was issued a visa to play in Norway Cup. The team never arrived in Norway and probably does not exist. The error was discovered before Norway Cup, and a retraction of the visa was considered. This was considered impractical since the visa was already issued.

<snipping lots of self justification from UDI>

No wonder the pseudo racist asylum seeker hating right populist Progress Party (supported by Slargos) is gaining in support.

The Election in Norway is on September 14 where the Red-Green (Socialist-Left, Labour and Center (Farmers) Parties) Coalition is trying to retain power faced by the opposition (Christian Peoples Party (Social Conservatives), Left (Liberals), Right (Conservatives) and Progress (pseudo racist asylumseeker hating right populist) Parties) try to unseat them. For foreigners trying to understand Norwegian Politics the Left Party will refuse to support any government containing the Progress Party and the Progress Party will refuse to support any government not containing itself. Idiots.

Languish Scorecard:
Norgy: Labour Party
Viking: Right Party
Slargos: Swedish and can't vote, but if he could Progress Party
Havard: Left Party

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I guess your masters shouldn't have allied with Russia in the GNW.

Where did the Russians pick them up?
This would make sense as being down to the typical lazyness of less developed countries if it was near to the border in the first place- sending them home would cost a lot.
Still not excusable of course and they should have been more subtle about it but it makes sense.

The last leg was from Murmansk to the Norwegian border. Previously they had gone through Moscow from Afghanistan.

Well, presumably if he were running FROM something he might seek asylum at the first reasonable point where he might be safe from that something. Not many Talibans in Moscow.

But if the point is to get to the country with the most generous asylum seeker benefits then yeah, he would have no reason to seek asylum in Russia. Being a taxpayer this pisses me off.

I was more thinking about the fact that Russia probably isn't so popular in Afghanistan, due to the whole little thing where they invaded and attempted to conquer the country.

OTOH there are tons of Vietnamese here.... though I believe most are of South Vietnamese origin.  I went to high school with a kid whose dad had been an ARVN general (I think he was an engineer in his post-Vietnam career).

There are alot of central asians in Russia. Moscow is full of them. However since the russians are racist scumsuckers they get treated like shit.

I'm just pissed off that of the asylum seekers that do arrive here (circumventing the UN system) more than 90% get rejected, but despite that the bulk of them do stay regardless unless they are from a european country(sans belarus).

The Norwegian system for dealing with asylum seekers is dysfunctional. I want it fixed.

Why is Belarus an exception?  Because it hasn't abolished capital punishment?
