Foreign criminals 'won't be deported'
The Border and Immigration Agency has reached a decision that it is not interested "in deporting foreign national prisoners serving sentences of under a year".
This news may embarrass Gordon Brown who has stated that all those foreigners who commit offences will be deported.
I am more interested in learning the reasoning behind this decision. The article does not offer any enlightenment. Personally, I think it is difficult to justify deportations on the grounds of such lenient sentences. However, I suspect that the decision is based upon some EU legislation similar to that used in the Learco Chindamo case.
I'd say you're right about this latter.
ReplyDeleteNice photo, it makes it look like they can get a whole prison block into an underground train carriage.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably why they are so overcrowded...
