Blimey, if they ban car washes what are all those immigrants running the things going to do?

Where's the shock story?

So we let them in and don't keep tabs on them.
Some go on to commit crimes and we let them go and don't keep tabs on them.
Then if anyone employs one, they are fined, so the ones that are here that want to work end up on benefits or move into crime as they cannot work here.
Goto line 1
Sounds like New Labour planning and implementation.
Where's the shock story?

Illegal immigrants 'not hunted'
Little effort is made to track down illegal immigrants who lose touch with the authorities, a senior immigration official has admitted.
David Roberts, of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND), told MPs there was little point in hunting individuals who overstayed their visas. He said resources were better targeted instead on raiding firms which employed illegal workers*. He also said the IND had beaten targets for removing illegal immigrants.
Mr Roberts, who is head of removals at the directorate, said he did not "have the faintest idea" how many illegal immigrants there were in the UK, although he was aware of estimates suggesting it was about 400,000.
We are making huge efforts to remove them, but not on the basis of tracing individuals. He also admitted he did not know how many people had been told to leave the country.
*Why? Because firms employing illegal immigrants can be heavily fined thus generating revenue to help plug Gordo's black hole.Tags: None
