It used to be, ( maybe still is), that if you flew into the UK without the correct passport, visa or documentation, you were held by immigration services then put on the next ‘plane back to where the flight you arrived on originated, irrespective of country. Why can’t the same rule/law apply to people arriving by boat ? Put on a ferry back to the country they sailed from ? I don’t know the answer, maybe it’s because our government simply don’t want to do it ? Cheers. Edited Wednesday at 11:03 by chartpolski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seagull 387 Posted Wednesday at 11:03 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:03 Are people still falling for the boat crossing headlines? Last year, around 37k people arrived in the UK on small boats, that's a drop in the ocean compared to 1 million legal migrants from the 3rd world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Legal immigrants are interviewed, vetted and given visas to come here. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, I never said that. My son was Entry Clearance Officer at the British Consulate in Saudi Arabia, he interviewed thousands of visa applicants and turned down far more than he accepted. I personally think legal immigration is far to high, but they applied for a visa and went through the system. Illegal immigrants dont. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's obvious, but vetting anyone doesn't guarantee future safety. Many of these that commit serious crimes had no known previous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only way to stop it is to work together with the French and the rest of the EU, yes it will cost more money but I'm sure people will agree it's a price worth paying?

Stop them fleeing to the EU in the first place, put more pressure on other nations outside the EU, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 27,577 Posted Wednesday at 11:27 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:27 My sons wife is Saudi, their son is a British citizen and passport holder. When she applied for a visit visa to come and see us she had to provide bank statements to show she had sufficient means, a return ticket, a letter from her employer saying she would be returning to work after her visit, a letter from my wife and myself saying she would be staying with us and we would be responsible for her and she paid the equivalent of £1,000 for a ten year multiple visit visa. Illegal immigrants provide not one iota of proof who they are or where they are from. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, going off by what many say on here, it's in their genetics to be troublesome, they might pass the criteria but it won't be long before they revert to type and start committing crime, usually of the heinous kind. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
