Illegal immigration

[TimberWolf]

So that they could fund their return to Britain in style?

Still works out cheaper than IDiot cards

[daviejones]

I've a cheaper solution - use a fraction of the money we would have spent on ID cards to offer as an inducement to recent immigrants to return to their homelands.

Or we could just use a big cargo ship and stuff them in there....cheap like...

I watched UK Border patrol last night.
They now send immigration hit squads out on the street to stop passers-bye that look nervous or guilty.
They stopped three people getting off a bus at a tube station. they were all illegal immigrants. That was just one bus out of hundreds a day

The bottom line is that illegal immigrants are the New Lie voters of the future, so there is no incentive for them to kick these people out of the country. Just expect periodic amnesties.

ID cards won't stop illegal immigration though, not while mass legal immigration is happening. What's to stop people returning with forged ID? You can't run biometric tests with large databases and expect to have a high false accept rate without a corresponding high false reject rate. A lot of work would be involved in those false rejects, too much.

A daily beheading of all illegals, live on telly, would, I suggest, put an end to the problem in about 30 minutes.

They'd be sneaking aboard anything leaving the country

ID cards will mean many thousands of public servants to administer. The public sector is the source of New Lie voters so is it really any wonder that they try to expand this sector at every opportunity, regardless of cost!!

It's all a moot point anyway as NL will be out in a year and a half. ID cards will be scrapped under a Tory Govt.

And Timberwolf, you must be a hoot at parties...

The awful thing is that we couldn't stand that (at least I couldn't), but some immigrants would still take the risk.
