Which means we have no idea of their history or intentions once here, asylum seeker numbers are at record levels, how many are legit?I think the law from 2023 already makes entry without a visa a criminal offence.
The difficulty, I think, is largely down to international treaties. We are obliged to take asylum applications under the Refugee Convention. And then, under the Torture Convention, we can't return people to countries where they might experience torture. On top of that, we can't force other countries to take their own people back. Finally, many have destroyed their papers, so it is not always possible to prove which country they came from.

will it mean this is the new norm, and we just have to suck it up?

Oh no, it's turning into just another Himmy thread with endless quotations of international law. GET OFF THE THREAD it's about how to deport people, not how to avoid it.
Do we, are we taking his word?In this particular case, we know that the convict is from Pakistan. We have a returns agreement with Pakistan. So, he will serve his sentence and then be deported.

What a woman!Katie is fully on board with the plan...

They are not the reason your life is sh1te.
OMG, 2 Himmys on one thread. Do us a favour and stay off this thread - it is a pro-deportation thread, everyone has read your asylum seeker crap thousands of times. It isn't needed again.

Yes. Another snippet of info: Crowborough is one of the places where the local election has been cancelled. Its people have really been sh@t on, and what happens there will happen elsewhere.What a woman!
The towel shot tease at the end too....
Oh my.
Blair did a lot of damage but thanks to the law of unintended consequences he tipped public opinion in favour of Brexit.Labour did make a massive change - for the the worse.
I fail to understand how any government with a large majority cannot, or are unwilling, to pass legislation outlawing illegal entry and anyone who has entered the country illegally has no right to object to being deported under any other legislation.
Round em up and ship them out!
If they want to claim asylum let them apply from abroad. It is my honest opinion that the majority of those entering the country are economic migrants.
Maybe the government should send the convict to Pakistan to serve his sentence, it would probably be cheaper to pay Pakistan to keep him inside and make sure he serves his full sentence, that would free up space in British prisons.In this particular case, we know that the convict is from Pakistan. We have a returns agreement with Pakistan. So, he will serve his sentence and then be deported.
