Should there be an amnesty for illegal immigrants living in the UK?
This question was raised again recently as part of the pre referendum debate. Boris Johnson suggested that an amnesty for the estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants in the UK, most of whom can be found in London, would be the humane thing to do.

What do you think?
So how would anyone on here in favour of that propose 500,000 people being forcibly removed from this country ?
After first putting them into detention.

So I take it you are in favour Stephen? I knew you had something in common with Boris after all.
Note: 453 people have already voted in an hour of whom 73% say remove.

The question of immigration is red hot at the moment. Despite the small group of bleedin hearters the vast majority of people in the UK are sick to the back teeth of these illegals. I say repatriate them no matter what it takes.

I have noted the comments.
So, how much money will all this cost to remove them, and how much time ?

I would say the vast majority of people actually have the common sense to know it won't happen.
I've no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they contribute to the economy.
However, I do have a problem with the scroungers over here, too lazy to work, and bleeding off the tax payer.
I wonder how many of them voted for brexit ?
It's logic 'Jim', but not as some know it.
-
an amnesty is the expedient solution. Tracking down and forcibly deporting half a million people would cost this country billions.
-
...and if this helps........
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/10417222/Illegal-immigrants-cost-taxpayer-more-than-4000-a-head-each-year.html
The report said: “The average cost of a voluntary removal is £1,000, and the average cost of an enforced removal is £15,000.
So a bit of simple maths...................
From a lower limit of
500,000 x £1,000 = £ 500,000,000
To the upper limit
500,000 x £15,000 = £7,500,000,000
That's assuming of course the number of illegal immigrants is correct.
and I doubt many of these people will readily be deported, so the upper figure could well be an under estimation.

Precisely Alf.

We have to send the right message out...an amnesty would encourage people to come. I have been involved in representing genuine visa applicants at the immigration court...people who are happy to obey the rules governing visas so no one can accuse me of racism. We must have rules. We don't put aside billions but illegal immigrants must know they will be deported. We gave an amnesty to sangatte to solve a problem...all we got was another sangatte.
if we give an amnesty all these people will be able eventually to apply to have their entire family join them in the UK...some posters do not understand the reality of the situation

Absolutely. Alf and Stephen would want to fill this country with foreigners which makes me question their motive.
I notice on the forum twitter account that almost 600 people have voted with 75% saying remove illegals, 15% don't remove them and 10% undecided.

The cost is peanuts compared to opening the floodgates to even more which is what will happen if the UK government doesn't act decisively now that they have a mandate to do so. With Theresa May as pm however I cannot see it happening.

I am a realist.
If you try to expel half a million people who are actually currently living here, it will be chaos. Virtually every case will end up with an appeal, the courts will be clogged up for years, and the expense will be simply immense.
Where will they be sent back to? What if the regime is unsavoury and will persecute them? Is there another country willing to accept a third country national?
They are here, then they are our problem. By definition working in the black economy.
The least worst solution is to legitimise them, allowing them to work in the normal economy, pay taxes etc.
Usual caveats about not encouraging yet more illegal immigration, expecting an amnesty so we need better security at points of entry.
But in my view - while we are sorting out the piles of mess, add this one.

The government can bring in legislation to deal with illegals and their deportation. That was the whole point in getting out of the EU.

apart from anything else everyone of them will then be entitled to bring their family to the UK...absolutely barmy

if they are bringing their family it could be another 2 million all entitled to benefits...housing...healthcare ..education

Can you remember the Scots guy who emigrated to Australia then got banged up for some child sex offence. He never took out Aussie citizenship.
When he was released the Aussies shot him back here so fast it made his head spin.... here you go Poms have the bludger back. Apart from it being somewhat ironic in the direction of transportation; way to go. Them Aussies could teach UK a thing or three. Like how to play the rules to your advantage, remember this:

It's really simple, as it stands in many instances, the UK cannot repatriate illegals because of the Human Rights Act which has gone far beyond that envisaged. Remember David Cameron saying he would replace the HRA with a Bill of Rights? Looks like he won't be doing that now but Andrea Leadsom is on record saying illegal migrants can be repatriated.

It may have slipped your memory that the ECHR is NOT an EU institution. Leaving the EU will not remove our obligations to the ECHR. So those who voted leave on that basis are going to be a bit disappointed.

That's easily sorted. In a speech a few months back, Home Secretary Theresa May proposed that the UK should dump the Human Rights Act Now that #brexit is imminent it shouldn't be that difficult. The sooner we dump all these European institutions the better.

A Bill of Rights of course or whatever other fancy name they want to give it. Laws in the UK should be tailored to our culture and traditions as it was prior to all this European crap.

Where is that vomit emoticon.
the feeling re the vomit emoticon is mutual...so what percentage of the illegals are fleeing Syria...please tell us all. it is rather difficult to tell when they have torn their passports up...we certainly know some are from Pakistan and Afganistan and I believe the young 25 yr old boy who murdered the young Sweedish girl who was trying to help them was from Somalia.
It's a shame they can't show some thanks when they arrive and behave themselves rather than terrorise young women with their sexual assaults.
good to see some of them have rejected Islam and turned to Christ and are being baptised.....the fact that it stops them being sent back home shows christ is looking after them.
perhaps if we stopped unemployed or very low skill Europeans coming into the country we could in fact help more of the genuine refugees.....
Lastly of course we have the problem that it is quite probable that some of those being welcomed are terrorists....

"It is also clear there was no public appetite for an amnesty of the kind mooted. A YouGov poll for the Sunday Times in January 2012 found that 67% believe that illegal immigrants should be deported immediately with no right of appeal"
-
A recent report, whilst describing an amnesty on illegals as "an appallingly bad idea" also recognised that
"it is clearly impossible to deport half a million people. It is, however, possible to discourage an illegal existence in Britain. Fines against employers for employing illegal workers should be much more vigorously enforced. Action should also be taken against those who provide accommodation for illegal immigrants. These measures, combined with the development of electronic border checking, should progressively reduce the scale of illegal immigration in Britain.
Commenting, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migration Watch UK said “The problem of illegal immigration has to be tackled if opportunities for young people in Britain are to be improved. A situation in which nearly a quarter of young Londoners, and about half of young black Londoners, are unemployed simply cannot be allowed to continue. Amnesties are an appallingly bad idea. They have been a total failure in Italy and Spain; they have just sucked in more and more illegals. It is highly irresponsible to suggest that an amnesty in the UK is inevitable – especially in a country that is believed to be a major source of illegal immigrants,” he said."

The Definition of an Illegal Immigrant
An illegal immigrant is a non-EU national who has entered the UK without leave or has overstayed his leave.
The Size of the Illegal Immigrant Population in the UK
By its nature, illegal immigration is very difficult to measure. The Census does not record the immigration status of respondents and the removal of the remaining exit checks in 1998 has meant that, since then, it has been impossible to determine who is still in the country.
The Government has long shied away from attempting to estimate the illegal immigrant population of the UK. In 2005 however, the Home Office commissioned a report which estimated that in 2001 the population of illegal immigrants in the UK was approximately 430,000, excluding the UK born children of illegal immigrants.
In 2009, the London School of Economics produced an estimate of the illegal immigrant population in 2007; they suggested a central figure of 670,000 using a similar methodology to the 2005 estimate. They suggested that three factors would have affected the size of the illegal immigrant population between 2005 and 2007:
Some of the continued inflow of asylum seekers would have been refused asylum and therefore become illegal immigrants
More immigrants would have overstayed their visas. These two factors would have increased the size of the illegal population.
Meanwhile the regularisation of some previously illegal immigrants would have reduced the total.
In 2010 Migration Watch UK estimated the illegal immigrant population at 1.1million (see here). It is very likely that, in the five years since that estimate was produced, the number has continued to increase.
The government has now reintroduced exit checks which will allow the authorities to know, from hereon, who has left the country and who remains.
How can an illegal immigrant obtain the right to remain in the UK?
Some people have had their immigration status “regularised”, meaning that they go from being an illegal immigrant with no right to remain to being a legal migrant with either temporary or indefinite leave to remain. The immigration rules set out the grounds under which an individual has a right to remain in relation to Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. There were around 20,000 grants under the Article 8 ‘family life’ route in the year to June 2015 and a further 2,000 under the Article 8 ‘private life’ route. In addition to these routes the Home Office also issued around 12,000 grants of leave to remain on a discretionary basis on ‘compassionate grounds’.
Obstacles to Enforcement
The number of illegal immigrants removed from the UK is very low in comparison to the size of their population. In 2013 the UK authorities removed 3,800 immigration offenders, 4,670 Foreign National Offenders and 4,840 failed asylum cases.
There is a great deal of public support for removing people that are in the UK illegally: a 2014 poll found that 84% want to see stronger action taken to remove illegal immigrants. One of the major obstacles is the underfunding of immigration enforcement. In the year 2014/15, the total budget for immigration control was £1.8 billion which was around 0.25% of total government expenditure of £700 billion.
Another major impediment is the size of the detention estate. At present only around 3,500 can be held in detention at any one time. This is clearly inadequate compared to the size of the illegal immigrant population.
The lack of return agreements between the UK and source countries is a further obstacle. Unfortunately, it is often those countries that are a major source if illegal immigrants with which the UK does not have an agreement. A returns agreement is one whereby two countries agree to return their nationals to each other when they are found illegally in each other’s territory.
At present the UK does not have an agreement with either Brazil or India, both of which are thought to be significant sources of illegal migration to the UK.
Another factor that further complicates the returns process is a lack of documentation. Some illegal immigrants will not have had documents i.e. a passport, when they arrived while others will have purposely destroyed their documents in order to frustrate the returns process.

I agree it's a big subject. What is usually true is that the power resides with the people because of their numbers. It's the leaders who exercise it though. If they exercise it wrongly the people need to understand that and work to change those leaders in whatever way they can.

Thanks for that.
It appears the govt cant be bothered or isnt able to stop this.
I dont believe half a million or more have come into the uk on trucks, so what is uk border control doing or rather not doing and why
Perhaps a stricter control and clearer laws might help

The border checks are basic, they only stop and search the very odd truck. There are groups based in London who are solely concerned with bringing illegals into the capital. Occasionally they are detected and caught but it is usually down to sharp eyed mermbers of the public. Some estimates put the number of illegals and overstayers in the UK at well over million.

Most are found by accident, the current border controls at Hull, Dover and Folkestone are wholly inadequate.
-
The border checks are basic, they only stop and search the very odd truck. There are groups based in London who are solely concerned with bringing illegals into the capital. Occasionally they are detected and caught but it is usually down to sharp eyed mermbers of the public. Some estimates put the number of illegals and overstayers in the UK at well over million.
If the authorities have behaved lazily then they have no right to complain

EU migrants are not illegals Stephen. I thought you had realised that by now?
Result of our 24-hour poll in which 1,328 people voted shows overwhelmingly by 80% that there should be no amnesty for illegals.

There are also illegal migrants from the EU.
It seems you have not considered in any depth the problems of logistics, expense and time in removing those you consider illegal immigrants.

An EU migrant and a migrant from the EU are two completely different things. The former being an EU citizen, the later not.

Hardly.
Can you provide the details of how all illegal immigrants, which some figures indicate could be in excess of 1,000,000, would be repatriated.
Now that would be interesting to see.

Asylum seekers, fleeing from a brutal regime in Syria.
But no doubt they should have been sent back from whence they came.
Where is that vomit emoticon.
A leaked report into a surge in sex crimes by immigrants at German public swimming pools is a 'grave concern', according to officials.
The secret report's authenticity has been confirmed by the authorities in Dusseldorf which outlines the particular worry over rapes and sexual abuse of children.
It comes just months after the nightmare scenes in Cologne on New Year's Eve when hundreds of women were sexually abused by marauding gangs of migrants and less than a month since an Iraqi migrant was jailed for raping a 10-year-old boy in an Austrian swimming pool.

Repatriation does not have to be by forceful means. Some will be encouraged to go home with a little incentive in their pockets and a signed undertaking never to return.

Voluntary repatriation could well be cheaper than enforced repatriation in the long run.
The current trend appears to promote voluntary repatriation. The site below contains several interesting graphs.

They all have jobs and nice lives? OK The illegal immigrants could be shipped across the channel to France as Germany wants them all. 8(>(( According to Mummy Merkel.
Seriously you do know that illegal immigrants are not allowed to work? they get everything FREE. you would not believe how much money is spent on one family per week. meanwhile white scroungers on benefit, who had the audacity to be made redundant or are finding it difficult to find a job are kicked to the kerb. Oh we should send them lazy whities to Africa and keep the hard working honest illegal immigrants?

WE have a mass of talent in this country but for so long we have pandered to the lets have quotas and embrace multiculturalism..... well it is time to keep our home grown talent, encourage science,maths and other worth while subjects. We are treating our own people with utter contemp by suggesting we can't live or survive without immigrants. well lets put that to the test. All immigrants who have a science or can earn above 30k should be allowed to stay and others who can't support themselves can go. We don't want our cash to be spent on wasted people we should use it,and spend it on those who are productive and hard working. Lets get our reward system back to where it used to be! It is outrageous that a Australian couple with 2 children earn over 65k per year have their own home, pay tax and other come from AFRICA to get free aids treatment, and free education, free housing..give nothing back. One 'family' has 17 members 5 single mothers, 12 houses...a financial drain. why not apply for jobs and come over legally ike the Australian family?

There are abuses in every system and I'm not sure which cases you are referring to.
And if you do find cites from reliable sources, perhaps you could also compare those cases to the statistics of the overall legal migrant contribution to the economy.

It is my observation on a particular community. re the stats; there are none availiabe that can be trusted. re illegal immigrants who have presented themselves has one figure but those still at large are not counted.
As I have stated illegal immigrants are not allowed to work! so contribute zero. It is also worth remebering that the stats for 'working immigrants' working part time and claiming tax credits and child benefit are not counted at net beneficiaries even thiough they are! so not that great a contribution in the bigger picture.

Asylum seekers are not generally allowed to work (and that applies to other countries).

By definition, statistics are hard to find about illegal immigrants as they tend to be paid cash in hand.

I am not the confused one. You with others are being conned. Asylum seekers are failed illegal immigrants who get caught-dontcha know! We are almost bankrupt, there is not enough to go round. We need to deal with our own issues without running around the globe causing wars and then encouraging a slave trade..oh you don't want to hear about that industry. Way to horrific for you I fear.
Whities are white skinned people who have no real say in their country due to being silenced, riduculed,undermined by multicultural luvvies. Whities are evil, nasty according to some. However they are a wee bit miffed because they are suffering hardship while others are under the impression the UK is a rich country- we are borrowing billions just to give to African countries starving children dictators a nice life thank you very much.

Illegal immigrants are as the name suggests, illegal. They have no right to be in the UK never mind work there. As illegals, they work illegally in businesses operated illegally by others who could well be illegals too. As illegals they pay no taxes or national insurance contributions since they operate in an underground environment. The vast majority of these people reside in cities like London and hide in communities of their own ilk where detection is highly unlikely. These ghettos are increasing in number, there are actually areas in our cities where agencies like the Borders Agency find it almost impossible to work in. Patrols are routinely targeted when they move in to extract these illegals. Welcome to the 21st century in the UK.

What I am saying is: In india it is Indians who make the laws, collect tax and distribute the wealth for Indians, In Japan, China, Russia, Africa and many other places no white UK citizen has any say or power over the people in these countries, I have no problem with that. Do you have a problem with white people in the UK ( majority) having a say in who gets into their country and what laws should be discussed before being forced on them? Seriously sounds a bit rascist to me. No one voted for EU as it has become, no one voted for multicultural society...so I am saying white people should have a say, since they are still the majority in this country, without being questioned and shouted down as racists.

How would one claim tax credits without being a tax-payer?
The very fact that you are unaware of this makes me more determined to defy goody -two- shoes who love everybody and want everybody to live here regardless of their contribution.
I am now of the impression that you are totally ignorant on most benefit hand outs and are clueless on how our system works which makes you a not very good person to make descisions on immigration in it's many forms. No offence intended Carana, but ignorance does breed contempt- which is what we have here in abundance in this country. Those unaffected by the mass immigration are quite happy to sit back and say well you there is no bread for the poor indigenous population- just let them eat cake.. Marie Anottoinete response to poverty!
So at the last count how many 'Asylum seekers' have the bob geldolfs and other sympathetic 'stars' getting on housing and feeding these 'poor' people from their own collection of houses and access to Money pits?

I do infact know of a nursing home which had 17 British born, English speaking, qualified nurses and 4 admin staff, all tax paying and full time. within 2 years all were made redundant not recieving their final pay, or redundancy to be reopened THAT SAME DAY with immigrants all working part time all claiming tax credits and child benefit. This is not an isolated situation Stephen. 140 new houses were built for a local village to cater for an elderly population requiring ground level homes and young couples starting off married life .NOT one went to a local person. So you see Stephen just beciase you have not been affected others have and are doing something about it. What is it you are going to lose exactly by this out vote?

It seems Carana that some people are stuck in the past of some golden age, which existed for only a very few.

At a guess I'd say, it could work something like this....
We'll sell stuff to other countries......& ........ we'll buy stuff from other countries...... & planet earth will continue to rotate, whilst orbiting the sun, & we'll all end up as dust, regardless of how many flags fly in Brussels.

Our side lost the vote. We think it's a disaster for the country and we will speak our minds, whilst grudgingly accepting the country's choice. Why should we be silent on the subject? Do you honestly believe that if we'd voted to remain that the Eurosceptics would have "got over it"?
Puh-lease.
The only people who are going to find it tougher after Brexit are Financial Services workers or Investment Bankers based in London who have been ripping the rest of us off for decades protected by successive administrations with their own vested interests.
And no amnesty for illegals, send them packing regardless of the cost or the means. There is now an industry in London whereby illegals are bringing other illegals into the country to do menial jobs for peanuts and protection. Under EU Law they know the chances of being deported if caught are slim. Time to change all that, take back control, send the illegal immigrants home.

Which EU law is that John?

Empty words, clichéd epithets. It's never going to happen. But by the time that realisation has well and truly dawned a large proportion of leave voters will be kicking up the daisies anyway.

But alot of thebrexiters have a problem with all immigrants
No legal immigrants are going to be deported
Deporting illegal ones has never happened much, what makes you think its gonna happen now?
The govt in the past has proved to be schizophrenic in ths regard
Deporting people who were married to a British person and also who had a child, because they didnt quite earn enough (think the figure was 19k) and even though they claimed zero benefits
This countrys immgration policies are all over the shop

The Human Rights Act, the EU's great panacea.

I agree but much of the failure had to do with abuse of the Human Rights Act by smartarse London lawyers who used every bleddin heart excuse in the book to stop deportations. It is up to Theresa May to bring in a Bill of Rights tailored to the British citizen, his traditions and values. It's time this Sharia Law piss and everything which comes with it was put down the toilet once and for all!
These clowns who come across the English Channel illegally know that as it stands at the moment they will not be sent back to where they originated. They are not refugees, they are economic chancers encouraged to come to London by other economic chancers who are already there and so the cycle continues. Once in the UK then other family members claim the right to come here too.
There are many cases of children being abandoned in the Jungle Camp by parents who make the trip to London illegally and more often than not in the back of a lorry. Once here they then demand their children are allowed in too for the sake of the family. Should we just accept this situation or demand something is done about it?

What sort of border controls are planned for Ireland, between the north and Eire?

It's what most people in the country want, time will tell.
Which people would that exactly be then ?
Do you, or they realize the sheer logistics of such a task make that near impossible ?

The Human Rights Act, the EU's great panacea.
The ECHR is not an EU institution. Anyone who voted for Brexit because they don't like the impact of the ECHR is going to be disappointed.
A quote from Crosslands:
"What has been overlooked in many of the debates is the fact that whether we exit the EU or not, this will not affect the fact that the UK is bound by common law which implies many fundamental rights,and we also signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights ('ECHR') before the EU even existed. We are one of 47 nations (including Russia) to have signed up to the Council of Europe which is entirely independent of the EU and which administers the ECHR. We also have primary legislation in the UK called the Human Rights Act 1998 which specifically incorporates the ECHR
To be free of the interference of the ECtHR we would have to repeal/amend the Human Rights Act and remove ourselves from the Council of Europe and the ECHR and if we did, is it likely that many countries would want do business with us? After all, the barriers to Turkey being ushered into the EU have consistently been their Human Rights record, so if we publicly say we will not sign up to the Council of Europe and the ECHR what signal does this send?"

It seems some people need reminding of the truth J.P.
I have explained the origins of the ECHR before on here.
I am glad you have done it again.

A lot more people than is being given credit already knew this. They are also aware that ECHR Has no real teeth and that we can ignore their ruling if we feel lives are in danger- we may be fined- but we don't have to pay the fine what are they going to do killl us all? ppft.
There has been discussion for many years about ditching this court and setting up our own citizen charter or something like that. To protect us from the state abuse etc. The state also has to protect us from terrorist who move among us, and hate preachers who blatantly breach out racist laws.

Do you mean a bit like the UK's Human Rights Act of 1998, or something different?

I personally do not object to any.
I do object to the courts in this country who interperate them in favour of one persons rights to freedom against an others rights to freedom, thus allowing criminals who are no longer welcolme or wanted here to run riot going on killing sprees or invoking racial hatred against the people who pay for his/her priveledge to enjoy this freedom to carry out such atrocities. I would much rather these people go to their own countries and carry out these crimes or does that make me a bad person huh
