Justice requires Balance

Lawyers intervene in immigration cases when they think an immigration officer's decision might be wrong. But they only intervene when someone wants to stay in the UK. Decisions might equally be wrong the other way, by allowing someone to stay. But then lawyers never ever intervene. This is unjust. Justice requires balance..... Allowing lawyers to intervene in immigration cases isn't God-given. It's a choice by politicians; as in other countries. Until control is back in the hands of immigration officers there should be no more legal aid for immigration. Funding our own occupation is nonsensical.
