Bashir Naderi is a constituent of Jenny Rathbone, but many of his friends and supporters live in Cardiff North. In particular, I was approached by a young woman who lives in Cardiff North—his friend—who said, ‘Bash may have been born abroad, but he is now Welsh’. He’s been brought up by a foster family—she’s still his mum—he’s been educated here, he has no contacts in Afghanistan, and it just seems to me absolutely inhumane that, at the age of 18, the Home Office then decide, ‘Right, he goes back’. I accept entirely what you’re saying that immigration is not devolved, but if a person who has received all the services from Wales, and who wants to contribute back to Wales, is snatched in this inhumane way, is there some way that the Government can communicate with the Home Office about this practice, this way of operating? Because I am aware of other people that this has happened to in this sudden fashion, and I do feel that if this happens to someone who lives in Wales, we do have a responsibility here in the Senedd.
