Try not to think of it as defiance. On their end it isn't: it's due caution and self-preservation. It's all well and good for someone to say that they should just give this Ministry a chance, but if there is something wrong then they've already shackled themselves to it.
It's a difficult situation for everyone involved. I understand the stance of the citizens here that worry after the motives of the people that arrive, but I also sympathise with those that arrive that can't bring themselves to trust a Ministry they have no experience with.
It's a rock and a hard place situation on both sides, I think. No one wins, and it's a matter of trying to make it as painless as possible. Abiding by the law is a necessity of course, it's just that so many of these people are used to the laws being used to harm them.
