Most of them think they're in London or Paris when they first arrive in Belfast

But hundreds of asylum seekers want to make Northern Ireland their home. Some are caught between not being able to stay legally and not being able to return to countries with despotic regimes.

Chris Page investigates the scale of the issue and its impact on society.听
