What Is The Point ?

We dont enforce the laws we have and if we do the ECHR is soon on our back causing us to spend a fortune lining lawyers pockets.

On top of this it does not actually solve the biggest problem of the big influx of scum we get from eastern Europe thanks to the EU.

Surely we would be better just leaving everything Europe as that is what causes us the greatest grief. then we can adopt an immigration policy that the country and infrastructure can support and is beneficial for all (natives and immigrants)

they could appeal up to 17 times, now only 4, gosh more money wasted.

[emmie]

if they are here illegally when caught should face an automatic deportation, problem being of course if they have no papers, where do you send them, back to their home countries preferably, but then doesn't ECHR come into play......

doesn't say that

[naomi24]

Yes it does.

//The Immigration Bill will see the grounds on which foreign nationals can lodge an appeal against deportation slashed from the current 17 to just four.//

[anotheoldgit]

Any move in the right direction has got to be a good thing surely?

Better make as many anti-immigration laws possible now, just in case Labour or Labour/LibDem get in.

If we left Europe, the economy would go down the toilet so fast, the Brits would be going eastern Eirope looking for crap jobs.

scum we get from eastern Europe

Those I meet know the meaning of work

When I worked in care, our best and most reliable workers were Romanian and Indian.

[jake-the-peg]

Didn't have any Indians but there were a fair few Romanians at the home where my father spent his last year and they were very good I have to agree.

It doesn't say that they can appeal up to 17 times - just that there were up to 17 grounds upon which an appeal could be made and that is being reduced to 4.

I think a lot of this is PR and spin rather than anything that will really make a difference - not sure how many illegal immigrants want or have bank accounts in the first place, or have the ID needed to open a bank account nowadays - same about driving licences really. A lot of immigrants (illegal and otherwise) are staying in beds in sheds, large HMOs, etc. where the landlords are already often breaking the law by their existence or having that many people living there so I cannot see those sort of landlords being overly bothered about checking someone's immigration status.

Many of you refuse to consider Identity Cards. But how else can you tell Legal from Illegal ? This is one reason that so many Illegals want to go to the UK.
